I put warm retro leds on one side(sling, flipper area) and cool on the other side. I thought the cool bulbs made the playfield more cartoony or bright and I think I liked that. I'm assuming most people go with warm leds in the gi for TZ?

What about frosted or unfrosted? Same with the backbox?

Quoted from Triumvirat73:

For TZ I personally go with cool. For no other reason than the playfield is a bit on the "dark" side to begin with so I find that the cool look in the GI tends to make otherwise difficult to see areas not so difficult to see. I'm also a big fan of the upper playfield LED strips that illuminate that area as well. Just IMO, of course.

Where do you place the led strip you're talking about?

Quoted from tamoore:

I go frosted if I think I'll see the bulb at all, unfrosted if not.
In the back box, I always go with the really cheap pinball life frosted non concave bulbs. They're not as bright, which I like for the back box.

I noticed the frosted had a better glow than the standard retros. I'll look into the pinball life bulbs. I usually go with CT.

Quoted from oyvindmo:

So, while you're here thinking: Do you have any suggestions for backbox GI? I would like some LEDs that can be dimmed to quite low brightness without starting to flicker. Any ideas?

I'm not sure that you can get rid of backbox flicker. Or at least I haven't read a way to do so unless its that led ocd mod.
