Hey guys,

I just installed this last night. One thing that is driving me crazy is the amount of light bleeding through the backboard. I can see it above every ramp and its even more so where the fish tank heads are (Pro model).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this? I thought about taping some black construction paper on the back of the backboard to block the light.

Curious if what others have done as I can see this happening in other pictures..

Thanks.

I see you have a lot of light bleeding through the backboard as well. That drives me crazy. I need a solution or else I wont be able to use this mod..

Quoted from Tmezel:

Do you have the lights facing away from the back board to minimize the bleed through?

Yes, I installed them just as the directions show. On the back of the backboard, under the wires...

The problem is that the backboard is very thin and will show the light except for where the wooden posts are. Like the above picture, you can see heavy light showing through above the two middle ramps. I can see this above all my ramps and even more where the fish tank head is. Its so heavy that it actually outshines the green "fish tank LED's" and is partially lit blue...

Quoted from Tmezel:

Black construction paper to block out the shadowing works.

I bought some black poster board yesterday but wont get a chance to get it in until next week or so. Im sure it will do the trick..

Quoted from ezeltmann:

Isn't paper a bit on the flammable side.

So is the wooden cabinet lol. Its not something I am worried about.
