    OP
    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Still on the lookout for the optimal LED for the pop bumpers. Haven't yet found the perfect non-ghosting LED in terms of hue and luminance.

    I'm a big fan of Ablaze (Pinball Life) warm white frosted non-ghosting 1 SMD lamps. I use them in EM and early SS pop bumpers, backglasses, basically anywhere I don't see the bare bulb. They're the best warm white hue I've found. Most others have a trace of green or pink to my eyes. Pinball Life's site is temporarily closed for vacation, but here's a google cache of the exact product:

    With one socket, there's always a shadow from the leaf switch on one side of a star rollover. For games like Play Ball where star rollovers featured prominently, Gottlieb included two sockets from the factory.
