Orion's Belt is the additional expansion product to anyone that has the Pin Stadiums and wants to have unlimited flasher colors/controls and one heck of a light show. It is literally a complete flasher system for your pinball machine. As always it will have to been seen to be believed just like the Pin Stadiums initially. In the meantime will do my very best to verbally explain and to post up videos and pics to properly demonstrate the full capabilities of what they do. The best way to explain the results if you have installed Pin Stadiums for the first time on your machine and see the dramatic difference it makes, then take that same level of positive experience into the world of flashers and you will not be disappointed.

Trying to respond as fast as possible as it's extremely busy with the release/orders/questions, I hope you understand and I will address everything and explain it all in detail as questions come up.

So there are two sets of light bars on each side (if you have Orion's Belt and Pin Stadium), but the good news is that Orion's Belt can be folded on the back of the Pin Stadiums during playfield maintenance which makes just one unit on each side. So nothing different than before since they will be attached during that period since the Magna-Mounts allows this easy method.

It is not available that way as the design of the Orion's Belt is side firing for the purpose of results in contrast with the Pin Stadiums so make a proper visual impact (solid uniform coverage of the playfield) and the fact that since you will have have 4 flashers triggering Orion's Belt it will reflect off the playfield into your eyes very very often which it does not do in its current form and mounting style. Believe me I tried it both ways. This way it is clean, stock, and very factory looking with way better coverage.

The UV+Glow is dedicated to just the Pin Stadium product, correct and Orion's Belt is well beyond just having a few flasher options and colors. The LED's themselves and PCB board, all of that I custom engineered and designed with nothing but the highest quality. They are custom manufactured just for this application by Pin Stadium. The visual results will definitely speak for themselves.

Always glad to help you and thank you for all of your support as always too!!

I will definitely do that for you and I am working like a mad man handling orders coming in from today and also in production building them as we speak. I literally can't wait for these to get into everyone's hand so they can be seen. It reminds me exactly of the introduction of the Pin Stadiums and how they made an impact in their own realm.

Thank you everyone for your out of this world and amazing support that words cannot describe. I love what I am doing and feel confident that you will see this in Orion's Belt. After all it is a creation of the community of pinball customers that have made suggestions for features and designed and provided feedback as to what they want next from Pin Stadium.

Love it and is truly exciting!!!

I do have some footage I am putting together from what was in the video and will be filming much more too! I remember your RZ and what the Pin Stadiums did for it last year, so cool!! Yes this is really going to step that machine over the top. Here is the video in case you didn't see it, and the footage is around 1:50 in:

Many have emailed and asked so I will post it up here too to help elaborate on it. When ordering Orion's Belt you do not need to order Invisi-Shields for it as they are already built into the design.

Also the question about being able to choose from ALL of the White color spectrum (Warm, Sunlight, Natural, Cool, and X-Treme White) within the app with the Orion's Belt has come up tons understandably since this a something very new that you can do.

When you are setting up the flasher colors in the app, you will go through the programming sequence of pressing Button #1 on the Flasher module "Preview/Programming" button. Then in the app you will adjust the set the White brightness slider to the % that you desire, then from that point you will dial it in with the color wheel and you can even use the granular RGB control on the top left to fine tune.

Remember that Warm, Sunlight, Natural, Cool, and X-Treme White all come from a small mix of the Blue, Yellow, Red, Orange. Once done you simply tap the desired button ( You can choose any of the 4 buttons you desire depending on which flasher you want to trigger it) to "Save" it and done!!

Not a problem, I was trying to address the video with him as I was unsure if he has seen it. Very busy day and I am working on getting all of this to you. Getting pics of the Flasher module as we speak.

We all know that it is just me at the Pin Stadium factory (house) working and I am just like everyone else for sure. I will get all of the questions answered and work to demonstrate the features etc in a simple to understand example. That's what this needs, keep it simple agreed!!

Hey it’s all good and offense is never taken by any means. It’s my job to explain what I have created and to do the very best job possible !!!

Here is a picture of them compared to the Pin Stadiums and it shows the size comparison, the Phantom cables. But most importantly it shows the 5 buttons and where they are located. I labeled them to show the buttons that allow for the presets and customizations of each flashers. Simply Press "Program/Preview" to initiate the sequence for using the app to customize each one.

Thank you for the feedback and I will absolutely do my very best to explain it to you.

I totally understand that there are many questions and I welcome that. It’s completely understandable as there is a lot of technology behind it and it’s something that has never been done before. Makes total sense and in the same instance it may appear to be more complicated that what it is. I get what you mean, as I went through the same thing with introducing the Pin Stadiums to everyone.

Orion’s Belt is a complete flasher system that is designed in a very similar fashion as the Pin Stadiums from a structure perspective and layout, length, quality etc. It is slimmer and lower profile, and mounts with the Magna-Mounts just under the Pin Stadium light bars with built in Invisi-Shields.

It is dedicated to solely being a flasher system for pinball machines. In comparison Pin Stadium’s focal form function is to provide excellent GI playfield lighting. It does have the awesome UV+Glow flasher which is a great accent piece which is dedicated to that product.

So with that said Orion’s Belt picks up where Pin Stadium left off in the realm of flashers with unlimited expansion of flasher colors and brightness control of each of those.

Orion’s Belt connects to 4 flashers of your choice on your machine. It’s the same style wiring and connection method as the Pin Stadiums but these connections are made to flashers. Once you have made the physical connection to all 4 of them, then with your mobile device you download the Pin Stadium app and then connect to the WiFi signal that the Flasher Module generates and add it to the app.

From that point you now have complete control of Orion’s Belt with the app interface we are all very familiar with when using Pin Stadiums. Next you will press the “Program/Preview” button (see image in the post above for this reference) to allow Orion’s Belt to accept the color and brightness levels for each of the flashers.

The steps are:

1. Press the Program/Preview button
2. Move your finger to the desired color on the color wheel in the Pin Stadium app.
3. Press the desired Flasher Button (any of them from 1-4) you want to program that setting to. So let’s say Button #1 and then it saves that setting for that button. Which means on if the 4 connections you made is not going to flash that color when that particular flasher on that machine is triggered. However the flasher flashes on the machine, Orion’s Belt will sync to that.

4. Repeatedly steps 1-3 for the remaining Buttons 2,3,4

5. You are all done, and it’s time to play the machine and watch the impressive light show!

Absolutely I will do that no problem. I am going to do a compete walkthrough and demonstration for you guys.

Yes they will be there and at Expo too. Robert Berk just called he wants several of them on his machines that will be in the Pin Stadiums booth and I will be bringing mine too. They will also be displayed and explained in detail at the Pin Stadium seminar at Expo.

So there will be about 15-20 machines there with the Pin Stadium/Orion’s Belt combo.

For Pincinnati I am bringing 6 games there also.

Yep you got it! They plug into the service port so you will just need a 2 way splitter for the outlet or a small power strip. They have their own Magna-Mount that goes just below the Pin Stadium.

Here are the Pin Stadiums (not Orion’s Belt) in action on TWD in case you have not see this video:
