Hi all, I have a walking dead premium, I really like it but the fluorescent tubing connectors have always been intermittent, the bulb is not the issue. I’d like to bypass the whole thing with some kind of LED mod. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

I'm not a huge fan of color changing stuff in the backbox, this is a great and much cheaper alternative ($65). The bonus is you can set 2 different intensities, so when you start the game the lights dim to the level of your choosing. Works great in my TWD premium.
I made an LED panel for all of my Stern SAM games and used this post from @lyonsden as a guide.
I basically tapped into the J11 plug using a quick splice to power my led strip

then I went to my local Michael's crafts and bought a piece of corrugated plastic board to mount the strip on.
I used these LED strips

They have them both in warm white and natural white.
I used this wire to solder the strips together

I bought some #6 3inch threaded screws to mount it all up. I can take pictures for you later when I get home.
Pretty simple and no more tubes or ballast/starter to deal with!
