I'm wondering what color / type bulbs go behind the swinging target. I seem to remember that it may be a different bulb than is used on the rest of the play field. Possibly a coated bulb?

Thanks

Thank you Jeff. A sleeve..that was it. I agree, blue would look awesome (and not blind me).

I have Red Sleeves for my Swinging Target bulbs and Yellow Sleeves for the Horseshoe.

You bet. Also when you buy the Sleeves they will be long and you will have to cut them down to size. I use a Coping Saw for a clean cut.
