Cool, if you want to try a different led strip, one that's 1/8th inch wide (4mm) instead of your 1/4 inch wide search ebay for "4mm led strip. Another nice thing about the 4mm wide strip is that there are more leds per inch then the one you have. I use them for all my mods. You can get them in colors and 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120mm lengths.

UPDATE: Busy at work ..... Have not had time to do anything but add a Stern gate switch and slide LED on ramp ( basically holds itself in place ) and gate uses existing screw. Not wired in but you get the idea so far
Lmk what ya think !!!
I really like it. Where did you get that S/activated board ( 6 bucks ) from. I am very keen to make one for Star Trek 
Sorry it was 11 bucks........ ebay.com link: itm

LMK if you need help wiring as there are no instructions for wiring and run timing
I saw a really nice 56cm color changing strip with like 50 different chase pattern at Bangood for $14. I wonder if that would work.

Many thank. I will take you up on the wiring once the parts arrive.
I am a little confused. The load voltage for that delay switch is 220V. I am sure you are not hooking it up to mains power?
Its a 12 volt switch activated relay. Right now Im running it off a 12V DC power supply. When done im just going to plug into the 12/5 volt connector at the bottom right of the cabinet. The relay has a max load voltage of 220.
Using 12 volt power in ( right now off a 12 volt dc/ 5 volt dc power supply ) but when done 12 volts dc from the cabinet, gate switch to trigger on board ( close loop at trigger on board , I was using a mini screwdriver in test ), does not matter what voltage the relay is switching up to 220. Im just controlling the relay to activate 12 volts to light the chaser LEDS when the gate switch is hit by the ball. I use the adjustable timer on the board to control the length of time it activates power to the relay on each " trigger ". You could make it run one cycle or as long as you like by the jumpers and potentiometer.
This is self contained and does not run off the game but only its 12 volts when triggered by hitting the gate switch.
Nice ,small, and simple even for a novice.
I have it out right now because I'm going to start wiring. Here are two pics one with an LED so you can see how tiny this board really is also you can see where the positive ( red ) wire on the LED strip was connected and the negitive ( black ) was. The two green were wires I ran from the 12 volt power supply
Found this one on Australian ebay for only A$7
