Use non-ghosting (premiums) in the inserts. You can choose from frosted (bright), premiums (brighter more direct), and premium 2's (which are brightest).

User standard frosted in the GI and Backbox.

+1
I also like 4+1s in the pops. I usually don't bother with flashers unless that spot is underpowered.

I prefer the frosteds for GI. Don't really like the color on the retros.
I prefer CT supers for most inserts unless they are nickel sized and smaller, then I use CT frosteds.

I usually go with the premium 2 LED (regular or flex) and then back off to a premium 1 LED if an insert is too bright. For example white or yellow inserts can get too bright.

If the insert is a warm or cold color that also affects the brightness, as does the size of the insert. Plus inserts in the back of the game will need more brightness. There's a lot of variables.

I don't think the frosted bulbs are non-ghosting. If they're not stay away from them on inserts. I also don't think the supers are non-ghosting.

Depending on the game, colored GI can either look great or horrible. Just have to play with it and see what you think. Some games like BSD are obvious, others aren't. I use frosted for GI.

The most important thing is how you play your games. If you play in the complete dark then the bright LED's are going to drive your eyes crazy. If you play in a dimmed or slightly lighted room then the bright leds won't be that bad. Some games like Medieval Madness that have a really dark play field is remedied by adding spots.

We actually have many pictures of fish tales on our site.. its one of the games we test our LEDs on often... if you haven't decided yet what you want... please contact us and we can walk you through what looks best in your game

Nifty,

Can you put a link to your FT page?

bright leds give me migraines. The last time i played my bsd I lost partial vision in my right eye temporarily. No joke.

We dont have an FT specific page...

check out these pages for flasher videos..

I just restored a FT, and used Ablaze 3's everywhere - a few blues and greens for effect in GI, matched most inserts for colour, see photos at the bottom of this page for how it turned out (a little better than where it started!!!!)

I went with more blue, all CT premium. By playing around in the backbox you can really make it come alive.
