Is it acceptable to down vote any posted opinion we disagree with?

FYI, did you know the Human eye can't really focus on blue light? For proof, next time you are diving at night and see a business sign lit up exclusively in blue, see how well you can make out the detail (if at all). This is why early Word Processor programs used Blue as the background so your eyes could more easily focus on the lettering on the screen.

Not if the only thing lighting it up is Blue LED light. But if there were enough ambient room light, then what you state would probably be true.

Suddenly, this product popped into my head:

I used to be but I have a new found love for pure white and warm white LEDs. I know many talk about the "warm glow" of an incandescent bulbs. But these tired old bulbs and somewhat lower voltage result in a yellowed color that doesn't do much of the original artwork colors justice.

I could not believe how much better and how much more colorful my STTNG translite looked after using bright white LEDs.

But absolutely NO colored GI for this kid!

I have long hated the use of Colored LEDs for GI. But some of these photos are just beyond belief! There must be many people with major color deficiency.

Hell, even before LEDs got popular, some we're using the color dipped #44s for general GI. Yuk!

IF they weren't so expensive, that would be a very interesting test! One of the LED suppliers should do it as a Joke at the next show they sell at. Maybe a Centaur since its basically Black and white.

Do you think many people would buy a NIB Stern if the GI were stuck on only Blue lighting? Or if WOZ shipped with Only Green for GI?

I think that's the difference between putting Colored LEDs in standard GI lighting and a new game that has control over the color scheme during certain modes. Big Difference!

NO!

The Black Knight Will Puke Again!

Look at how much detail in the art is lost. You can't tell me the original artist in any way would consider that an improvement!

May the croak be with you.

I see Stern is using a new Photoshop tool filter:. Green and Gray. Makes the plastics art just "Pop", don't ya think?

NOT!

Okay, I hijacked this photo recently posted here on Pinside over in the Gottlieb System 1/80 thread.

OP Says he plays it more than any other game right now. I wonder if he is damaging his eyesight?

Kudos! PartyKing.

That's the proper use of LEDs on a pin.

Its a shame though, since it has the Alternate Backglass which doesn't look as bad as the movie glass.

Nahhh. The girls are just digging for loose change under the mats!

There are some other alternates too that are more family friendly.

That's Sacrilege to destroy some of Paul Faris' best work.... I would bet there is a velvet poster of Dogs playing Poker right next to it.

This stuff is reminding me of the Blacklight posters of the 60's&70's.

Awww, come on. Everyone knows if you just keep adding more and more blue (LED) light, you will eventually see red!

I have seen at least one game in the past with all #455 lamps for GI. Obviously, it was not playable. Just as many of what we have seen would never get my quarter.

Thank you for NOT doing GI color kits when you had Comet!

Thanks for posting, Art. LEDs perfectly done. I think we have to throw a proper photo in every now and then to clear our eyesight and allow our eyes to refocus properly.

Yes, it looks very nice to me. I can actually see what the artist wanted us to see.

Let's not forget Parachute pants!

Not attacking "rainbow", attacking "color bombing"

Oh! You are wasting your time trying to be the Grammar and Spelling police here on Pinside. It has been discussed before elsewhere and the consensus appears to be that stupid people want to stay stupid.

The one that always gets me is "alot". There is no such word. But there are the two words "a" and "lot".

On a side note, I am always impressed that many of the people here on Pinside for which English is not their native language usually do a much better job typing English than many here in America.

So, let's see some more Clown Puke so we can point out the error of their ways!

An operator friend of mine used to install GI disconnect relays (that ran off the Flipper Enable Relay) to turn off back glass lights on games in his dark bar locations to reduce the glare while playing.

I feel about the same with owners filling a game with every conceivable Hallmark Ornament or Action figure toy as I do CP'ed games. But, unless I missed it, there isn't a "No stupid, pointless Mods Club! (Post Pics of worst Mod fails)" thread to laugh at unless I missed it?

I hear it also has a pinsound system installed in it and plays Calliope music now.

Pull the center reds and we will let you back into the club! LOL.

Nice Job on the pimped out Vampire!

I wonder how it would look in Daylight instead of cool white?

I think the major contradiction here is the "player's Condition" in the title. I could never actually play a game looking like that! It's more like "ready to go in the front window of a Spencer's Gift store condition".

Oh my!

I have to admit, when I saw the Fire!, I thought "that looks pretty nice, it works for that game."

Butter makes everything Better!

Would this be considered clown puke?

Yes, that IS bad. Even the outhole glows of purple!

They look much whiter than most of the cool white LEDs I see in pins!

Not sure what the controller was but most of the stuff that they sell from China has full adjustments. While I am not a fan, I would think that slow fade from a pallet of colors would be acceptable? But yeah, Disco Strobe is not conducive to playing pinball!

Sorry, but the only thing that should be stuck to the underside of a pinball game is chewed gum.

And got a chuckle out of me! ☺️

You really do need to learn to be more assertive!

You mean Centaur minus the red?
