    They are non-addressable of course, but Comet offers a few options (fast & slow - scroll down page to see video): https://www.cometpinball.com/products/1smd-bulbs

    Their red or blue fire bulbs are also cool: https://www.cometpinball.com/products/fire-bulbs

    not what i am looking for

    they must be with a 4 pin connector

    like the led chain in the MBR or MMR RE

    Can you post a pic of what exactly they use? Are you talking about socketed bulbs?

    There are traditional 5mm LEDs with the 4 leads, but they're not as bright as the SMDs usually used in pinball.

    they use this

    listet at PPS shop but the price is to hight with 9$ for just the led, when you need about 30 for a game
    and there is also ne cable included

    Weird! What voltage do those use? Are they RGB+? Might be easier just to connect LED strips that are cheap and more readily available.

    why would you want this? it's already enough of a problem, getting people to get color out of GI's. Unless you don't want to ever be able to play it. THen throw any color instead of white in.

    why i want this?

    it looks great in MB and MM remakes.

    and it is technical not a big deal.

    i wonder that no one has done this before, instead of CGC

    because colored GI's sucks. That's why nobody does it. only ones that like it, are the ones that don't play.

    Colored GI only sucks when it's not well integrated into the game. I think Star Wars is amazing with the color changing since it is part of the modes etc but the CGC remakes look like balls since they were never designed around the rainbow puke.

    if it's temporary and goes back to white for most of the game, then yes. IF it's stuck in color all the time, then it makes the game unplayable in a dark game room setting.

    Proprietary, to the best of my knowledge.

    Shopping at Pinball Life, I noticed they have these. Maybe they'd be useful.

    thank you

    i think this ones could fit in a playfield

    i think i have to test if the rgb outputs at AFMR at the Topper boards are sending some signals already

    or the PF would have the same color like the speakerpanels ?!?!

    they are NOT 12 V

    Yep, those are totally not 12v ready. These LEDs do not have any current limiting resistors in them and you will need to put those in circuit. All the details of the LED are on the product page. Like the forward voltage and the maximum current that the LED can take.
