    Quoted from ryanwanger:

    Any Comet bulb that is Warm White will be as close as we can get you in terms of hue. For brightness, Retros are the dimmest, pretty close to incandescent. https://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/1retroled.htm

    I just put these exact bulbs underneath PF and backglass GI in an old EM machine and it looks very good. Not exact but not blinding or obvious in any way that they are LED's (and definitely kept the regular 47's in the upper PF to maintain classic look). You'd never know this machine was over 50% LED's. One drawback is they do strobe just a bit during the reset sequence or when the player/ball increments but it's pretty minor.
