Quoted from swampfire:CLAIM: Customers can't change out the LEDs in feature lamps, for Stern pins starting with Star Trek.
Verdict: True. Stern switched from sockets to dedicated lamp PCBs. This has several benefits: it allows for color-changing feature lamps, the lamp circuit is designed for LEDs, and it confers all the traditional benefits of LEDs (efficiency, heat, etc.). However it does mean that these lights are absolutely fixed.
I would actually call this one mostly false. Stern only uses the boards on their Prem/LE models and most games are shipped in the pro state (volume wise). Also, the single board type lights can be easily replaced/changed via these - http://cointaker.com/products/stern-spike-led
This is also only accounting for the insert lights. The GI is still socket style bulbs. Taking everything in account the majority of that phase is false.
