For about $44 I put together a cheap system that will also allow me to make another
set once I find a 12v to 120ac power supply and remote that I can use.
found most of the stuff on Amazon (I have prime so 2day shipping included)
I used velcro in 3 spots to attach the alum rails to the side.
remote control offers 100% (2nd pic) /50% /25 %(3rd pic) power to the warm white leds

Only part that sort of sucked was the soldering of wires to those led strips -
didn't have shrink tube so just used electrical tape.

Since I have overhead can lights- the reflection is sh!t on the glass - I like to play with
the lighting turned down - with the LED lighting, I can have them off!

Quoted from wrd1972_PinDoc:

I am trying to add "poor mans" stadium lights ro my Funhouse pin. But my issue is the razor thin clearance between the PF and the cabinet. The mag tape I have is .100" thick. And that is too thick for the gap. Simply no way it can work.
So I need a mag tape that is significantly thinner that that...more along the lines of .020" or so. Anyone know where it can be had? I have searched high and low.

see this post : https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/poor-mans-stadium-lighting/page/7#post-4478368

I'd buy some of those strong small magnets (neodymium) and buy and end mill to their O.D. and put two per side of cabinet .

Probably pointed our before - but these cabinet blade protectors really help in raising PF's up
to protect your side/decals/tape

here's my Mystery Castle with & without warm white lighting I added.
I can now play it without the overhead can lights on that cast such a reflection
and also see the PF so much better lit up.
