Quoted from stoptap:

I generally don’t like coloured GI but when I bought my TWD Pro it had amber incandescents in the lower GI. I switched them back to white LEDs but missed the look it had. So I have since gone back to amber but with LEDs.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

switch to Warm white then, it's a happy medium between the 2. I think you will be happy with the results. Especially with the brown pallet used on the game. the warm should have been used instead of cool.

Quoted from wayout440:

This thread actually contains two kinds of puke: rainbow puke and monochromatic puke.

Quoted from Bugsy:

"It looks amazing!"

Quoted from Boof-Ed:

I guess the key is learning from your mistakes. This was my second pinball and my first attempt at LEDs 5 years ago. Then a different pin I restored a month ago. I'm still learning.

Quoted from matt_adams:

On sale in the UK with LED "upgrade" ahhhhh my eyes!

Quoted from kvan99:

Personally, I love LED color changing speaker kits.

Quoted from Colsond3:

LMFAO. Doing the inserts in random colors doesn't make sense, I often try to match the inserts with color so they are task related, and easily discernible by people that don't necessarily know the rule set.
The problem is a lot of games have dark playfields, so unless you add a ton of spots, the artwork doesn't really pop regardless. Adding certain colored LEDs just drowns it out more.
Some games look good with "some" color G.I. in my opinion, some games don't. Cool white is always good. I don't have any problem with accents. I think my Frankenstein looks pretty damn good, even with the splash of color.

Quoted from irobot:

I don't understand what the point is to any of this bickering.
There's no convincing to be done on either side.
Obviously, the vendors are selling LED kits and people are buying them. So clown puke is very popular. Which matters not. It's not an election.
And.. there's no right or wrong answer. If you like your LOTR glowing bright red, then you like it. If you don't you don't.
Changing the bulbs doesn't actually hurt the game, so it's a morally neutral act.
From an objective standpoint, there are actual pros and cons to using LEDs.
CONS:
Because the games were designed for white incandescent bulbs, there are a few functional negatives to using LEDs.
1. A colored light shining on a painted surface will wash out the painted surface, it turns the other colors grey and black. So the game gets monochromatic. This problem wasn't considered when the game artwork was originally created. If they had colored LEDs back in 1990, they would have made the artwork more LED friendly. As it is, you end up with the original artwork disappearing into a muddy purple haze.
2. Similarly, because the games were mostly designed for white bulbs to be used as illumination, the bulb light spreads all over. So there is some clumsiness if you try to use bulbs for accent lighting, because the accent color bleeds everywhere. Like when colored bulbs are used in the translite and the color bleeds all over the artwork or turns into a circular blob that doesn't match the shape of the item being accented.
3. Some games have variable lighting effects which don't work with LEDs.
PROs:
1. A situation where the LEDs can be exploited to good effect is a game that is under-illuminated, where the brighter bulb could be used here and there.
2. Or for inserts, where the color of the bulb matches the insert color and the color bleed is controlled by the shape of the insert cutout in the playfield. Why not used a colored bulb to make some tired old insert look better? Within reason.
The above are the practical aspects of using LEDs. The philosophical and aesthetic aspects are not subject to any logic, so there's no point in arguing.

Quoted from Djshakes:

No one is arguing it doesn't looks like shit. They're arguing you're taking the effort to point it out as if you're the led police with nothing better to do. What is your goal, shaming them to stop doing something to their own machines? Nothing productive to do?

Quoted from LesManley:

Not GI, but think how much money was spent for this backbox kit to make the game look terrible.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Really more work went into that than should ever be spent on a LW3
