    Quoted from Reznnate:

    I assumed TS4 CE with full PC, topper, and extra LEDs might be one of my most expensive games (for power usage too! ). It's using ~140-160W idle.

    Nah, that's barely over 1 amp. Most game are idling over 2

    I like LEDs for keeping things cooler to prevent insert damage when games are on all day for get togethers

    The power consumption is down a lot. I can have 8x EMs plugged into a power strip and pull an amp or so on standby.

    For small gatherings only a few will get played at a time so not the slightest worry about coming close to the breaker at 15amps

    But with all incandescent I’d be a little more worried with 8 on all day.

    Start hitting the flippers and the overall cost of having a game on will put the LED vs incandescent a bit more in the back seat.

    I've switched a few games to ColorDMD LED displays. That should also make a difference then and I like the way they look of course.
