    Just finished LEDing my Party Animal and now the back box looks truly sad in comparison to the playfield. The light is just a single bulb in the center of the back box. Anyone have any tips or ideas how to make the back box pop again. I'm thinking of looking into LED bulbs but not sure if that is going to really have the desired effect. Any mods out there for this situation?

    Quoted from wayout440:

    You can DIY a backbox like that with led strip lamps, I'm sure I've seen that somewhere. You'll have to fabricate a backboard that can be removed, at least I think that is the best option if you want to make it look more like a classic backbox. The pic below is a Stern kit, but it might lead to some ideas.

    super cool idea.

    This is what I'm talking about. Even in the daytime it looks so much dimmer.

    Found a LED light bulb that puts out 500 lumens and it's a huge improvement. Cost me 15 bucks and minimal effort.
