    I swapped out pretty much all the incandescent bulbs from all of my games for LEDs simply to save the connectors and plastics and BGs in the game. The Incandescent bulbs pull alot of current and also produce heat that is not good for the plastics and connectors and such. (Especially in older solid state games) The GI connectors take a beating in the game and are often burnt to a crispy brown color. I use Cointaker https://cointaker.com/ Retro bulbs, they have domes like incandescent bulbs without the heat. I use frosted either cool or warm white in GI (general illumination) and the I will usually color match the bulbs under the inserts or if they are clear or white inserts I will sometimes add some color to make certain shots stand out.

    Good luck with your game and enjoy!!
