Quoted from OutpostKodelia:

We temporarily don't have easy access to a working Rush LE, so I'm looking for one person to beta test our next product, the Expressive Backbox Light Kit! This will be just like our Expressive Undercabinet Light Kit in virtually every way except: it will be made with a 60LED/m strip instead of a 30LED/m strip so it fits on the back side of the backbox properly, and it will mount slightly differently since the backbox is metal.
To be a valid candidate, you need to already have BOTH of our other Expressive Light Kits installed and working in your game (which also means you need to have a Rush or Led Zeppelin that already has Stern's expression lights installed and working). I'll also expect you to install it promptly upon receipt and make a high quality video to send me with a clean surrounding/environment. Finally, looking for US purchasers only, just to minimize delays inherent to international shipping.
We expect the kit will sell for $140/160 just like the other kits, but for this one lucky person, I'm going to halve the price to $80 (+$10 for shipping)!
You have to reply quickly because I'm going to take the first qualified response ON THIS THREAD (PM requests will not be counted, just so it's all above board)! If you respond, please explicitly confirm that you meet the criteria and that you will be able to send me a clean high quality video. Thanks!
Aaaaand GO!!!

Quoted from ccw2112:

I think I shall defer. Love love your stuff !!

Quoted from Nstone4425:

I wanna Beta test if ccw2112 doesn't work out.

Quoted from OutpostKodelia:

No worries! And thank you!

Looks like you're up NSTONE4425. You on board?

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

If hes out, I'm in!

Quoted from beelzeboob:

Damn...so close. I already have Rush and Zeppelin LEs, but don't have your lighting kits installed already.
NEXT!

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

You don't have the ninja lights? You fool, lucky you're not in that other thread right now

Quoted from Nstone4425:

Yep lets do this!!!!

Quoted from OutpostKodelia:

Woo! Okay, LED strips should be in by tomorrow night. I'll have the alternate (magnetic, ooooooh! aaaaah!) mounting clips ready to go today. Should be able to get it in the mail by Friday.
Now I just have to figure out how to get the wires out. One option is another grommeted hole like I did for the undercabinet kit, which could go under the cab with the other one, or through the backwall of the cab. Either of those, though, you're going to have to unplug it to put the head down, which would be really annoying.
Ideally, I can go through the factory topper hole. That would work great except it could interfere with installing a topper, should Stern ever release one. But it wouldn't have to be touched to put the head down and move the game, which is a huge plus. I'm leaning towards this option right now, but I'm open to feedback. Thoughts?

Quoted from Ollulanus:

I really dig the full light kit,behave had mine in for a week or so now. Some notes:
- if you have aftermarket kicker 5.25s, common rec recently, you'll have to remove the housing around the service outlet to fit them. Just slightly too deep.
- I don't really see the need for drill and gromet for the cable for the Undercab kit. I just ran it through the hole I'm one of the back grills I already made for an audio out line.
- mounting system is a nice touch, but I have 3M auto trim tape (that thick black stuff w/ red backing you see with many mods), used a little of that on each bracket rather than putting holes in the cab. Works fine.
- if it's gonna be in a lineup with other stuff w/ Undercab lights, I'd skip the Undercab kit or plan to pull that game off on its own so you can appreciate it. Really cool effect, but lost in a lineup.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

I pulled 2 staples and ran under the mesh

Quoted from OutpostKodelia:

So yes, that would work. Truth be told, this had occurred to me, I just wasn't comfortable recommending that people remove that cover and leave it off, exposing the line AC voltage. So I'm still not recommending it, but since you mentioned it, I thought I'd comment on it.
Meanwhile, I am experimenting with a lower profile variant. So far, I've only been able to cut about 1/4" or 6mm, which isn't a ton but could help. It's just tricky to fit 48 LEDs between the panel and the speaker, and the number of LEDs can't be reduced because it would break the synchronization with the factory lights. I'm still noodling on it though...

Quoted from Ollulanus:

Yeah. I'm not recommending it either. Just stating a fact and if people try/ fry themselves, nothing to do with me on the bright side, there is a plastic cover over the actually line connections underneath still. So you'd probably have to work at it to electrocute yourself.
I was surprised they didn't fit, not a deep profile. Technically, I could force the thing closed but it would press out just slightly. Not sure how you'd get that much thinner, but even a slight change would fit the Kickers at least. 1/4" would for sure fit them, not sure about many others though.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Pinwoofer speakers fit just fine with ninja lights, sound great

Quoted from Nstone4425:

Hahahahah that they do. Thanks to you I've spent mucho money with them.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Could rush sound any better tho? I dont think so,

Quoted from OutpostKodelia:

Beta backbox light kit to Nstone4425 is ready to ship out! As soon as I get the feedback and videos from him, I think we'll be ready to green light this whole thing for production! I'm also exploring a way to make a big "uni-kit" with everything in it for people that haven't previously bought any of our expressive light kits; it would also reduce the number of power blocks needed to one. For people that already have one or more of our kits, though, it'll just be business as usual, or I could potentially make a "single power supply upgrade kit" if there's any interest in that, but I'll have to give it some thought.

Quoted from Enchantress:

Definitely into a "ALL IN 1" price for undercab/behind back box/speaker lights/power box price.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

My granddaughter loves ninja lights and rush

Quoted from ScoobaDoo:

I purchased the scoop protectors for Rush awhile back. I’m just getting around to installing it. The question I have has to do with the stern fix. My machine has the “Stern scoop fix” with the housing around the front scoop. The one with the 2 rubber pads. Once I install your protector, is it necessary to put that stupid housing back? Obviously, I want the max protection to the scoops and the playfield…Thanks

Quoted from OutpostKodelia:

They CAN be used together, but it isn't necessary, especially if you want the shot to be open from the sides. Some folks swear that the Stern bracket w/ pads makes the scoop shot easier though, which may be true. So it's up to you.

Quoted from Gotman:

The Rush scoop protector is a good mod, but not perfect... With the help of a large washer, I still can’t get the protector to lay
The Rush scoop protector is a good mod, but not perfect... With the help of a large washer, I still can’t get the protector to lay flat. What's worse is I tried for nearly two months (Aniraf - since November 16th) to get a replacement, but all I got was the run around. Thanks Aniraf!

Quoted from Big_Whoopin:

Installed the Rush spinner lane anti-reject mod last night, worked great! I have not had a single reject from that shot!
On the flipside though, this has allowed for the ball to exit the inner loop a lot quicker. Previously there would be a bit of rattle for me as the ball approached the exit to the right orbit, that seems gone now. I'm going to need to re-learn getting consecutive loop shots on my machine. I'll have to check my upper flipper power but I thought I had already tuned it down.
