    How much electricity does a pin like Popeye or ST:TNG use just sitting on in attract mode?
    Is it like 1400Watts, like running a hair dryer?
    My electric bill KILOWATT usage has been going up and other than the A/C, I'm at a loss
    to explain why my power usage is so much higher than my neighbors.
    I do have an older R-22 unit with like a 7.9 Seer but it works ok so far.
    I sometimes will leave 4-5 pins on for an hour not being played.
    My stove, water heater & furnace are all gas.
    Dryer is electric but only do 2 loads a week.

    Quoted from NeilMcRae:

    with LED's its much reduced,
    but if there is one of you and 5 machines - why do you need them all on at the same time?
    Neil.

    Travish said it all. To impress! Also as we jump from pin to pin we typically leave them on till we are done playing all of them.

    I just put RED/PURPLE/GREEN/YELLOW/BLUE LED's to replace the RED Condom #555's on the (5) Left Kicker Ramp on my Popeye to make it more
    Christmas-y!

    Surprised there hasn't been A Christmas Story pinball yet...
