    No Flix Plus. You pay a little more but get better LEDs NFP.jpgNFP.jpg NPF2.jpgNPF2.jpg NPF3.jpgNPF3.jpg

    nice looking sc1f1, I heard Cointakers burn out a lot easier then pinball life?

    I used all CT on my FH and WH20 and I'll never use them again too bright and loose fitting. Plus the domes fall off.

    No Flix plus are solid plastic with the LED made inside the plastic.

    Here is one I busted just to see how it was made... This is why they are more expensive and disperse light better IMO

    I think you get what you pay for. If you want cheap lighting then pinbulbs isnt a bad idea.
    I spend a litte more on mine because I want a professional look.

    I'm replacing all the CTs on my AC/DC Prem. with NFPlus. I can't wait till they get here. I've had a ton of CTs falling out of my AC/DC and the tops come off and fly everywhere

    Quoted from ckochan:

    I am sensitive to 60hz strobe that you can get from using a non-capacitor LED bulb for GI. I can see the same kind of flicker in old CRT computer monitors. It's like the visual equivalent of a buzzing in my ear.

    I think I am too and that's why I've like NF+ from the first time I used them. I almost get dizzy looking at certain LEDs

    Quoted from hollywood:

    What are/who makes the LED's that Stern uses in their new machines like METLE??

    Quoted from DarkWizard:

    I ordered an Earthshaker Noflix PLUS Spielfeld Set, and none of my LEDs looked like that. They were all little plastic squares, but still much more resilient looking than your average LED.

    Hmm the GI should be these. I always make my own kit. Sometimes they have a 555 socket in place of 44 depends on what happens at the factory. Newer machines that isn't an issue.

    I'm ordering my MET PRO LEDs this weekend.

    Bright doesn't mean better but to each their own. Bright hurts my eyes and also the flickering can cause seizure type episodes for some people. That is the main reason I buy high end No Flix Plus LEDs.

    I just paid $250 for 114 different kinds of course and I'm tickled to death with the results they give. Well worth it for less headaches and dizziness for me!
