Quoted from Pahuffman:Color LEDs should come with a warning label that reads: CAUTION - FOR INSERTS ONLY. GI should always whites - warm or cool to taste/game.
The issue gets confusing when you have color-changing GI like in Star Wars. Most of the time it's white but on some modes on the new code it changes to blue and red. The jury is still out on this.
Come on Alex......you know you want to Crimson out all the lights on your STTNG........LOL!!!
Quoted from jwilson:Pinstadium is a whole other bucket of retina-ruining nonsense.
Pinstadium itself is like anything else, if used correctly it can be great, if used incorrectly you can go blind!
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Someone just picked up a Tron. I think someone went a little too blue.
Haven't visited this thread in a while, and lo and behold I see my new TRON has made the pages. A couple of comments to some other replies:
- The Orange armor is an acquired taste, and looks better in person. That being said, I'd rather have the blue version, and have posted in the TRON thread to see if someone wants to swap, as I'd rather not pay the $500+ to get it repowdercoated. Don't know if I want to spend that kind of money on a color change......but yeah, I wish it was blue......
- All the lighting changes and mods were done by previous owners. The bottom 2/3s of the playfield GI is Cool White, the upper 1/3 GI is Blue. The LEDs on the playfield backboard above the lightcycles go from Cool White, to Blue, to Orange.
- The first pics posted were taken with my iPhone 6s, and as others have noted smartphone cameras can exaggerate the LED colors, especially the blue & purple spectrum. That is the case here as well. I just now went downstairs and took a pic with my Nikon D7100. The room lighting is the same, no post processing, Program Mode, handheld so excuse the lack of sharpness, didn't want to break out the tripod. The only change in the lighting of the TRON is that I replaced a broken frosted cool white LED under the ZEN plastic, which I was also swapped out from the orange ZEN plastic to the blue version. Besides that nothing has changed. To the eye the D7100 picture is closer to real life than the original iPhone pic. Is it perfect?? No, I'm still going to tweak it some in the future.....

Quoted from wayout440:The thread is about the problems of colored lighting only, not mods. I personally don't mind the armor.
I realize that....someone else in the thread had previously commented on the Orange, so I was replying to them.
