Quoted from vid1900:Try a different bulb, you may have a dud.
Measure the voltage AT THE SOCKET and make sure you have at least 6.2 AC volts.
I did not have any white Flex to try, so I don't know if they are brighter.
Try aiming the Flex around. It seems that slightly upward gave the brightest glow.
If there is an "E" clip on the end of your flipper button, don't aim into that (it's metal).
There could also be a chance that the Flex have changed over the year since I bought them, or maybe batch to batch? Maybe the blue flipper buttons vary batch to batch?
Try 2 Flex LEDs (steal the one from the other button) and see if it is still dim?
I got a bunch of emails from others who did it, how is everyone's brightness?
The Flex bright Slow 16 Color Changing LEDS from Cointaker are awesome. Plenty bright! Used on clear transparent buttons. See my pic and Video
Quoted from vid1900:How long does it take for the 2 buttons to get out of sync with each other?
Do they always start their cycle on the same color?
No they don't start cycle on same color vid. But I don't mind really. I kind of like it that way. lol
Quoted from MustangPaul:Hey vid, I double led'd my buttons for just a few cents more. I got the 44 sockets with 12in. leads for 15 cents each.

Wow Nice Paul, I guess I'm buying my sockets from the wrong place!

Thanks for the Amazon Link Vid. Looks like a great item to have on hand. Just ordered 2 sizes, 14-22 gauge. And with Prime, free shipping.
Quoted from CNKay:really, where did you get that one from? i will not get that one but i want the professional one as those are most likely UL listed and checked for safety. sorry for the confusion.
Tell you what. You give me the 64.00 and I'll make you a pair and put them in a nice poly bag and print a pretty label for you. Better yet, you show me any lighted flipper button kit that says tested by United Laboratories on it and I'll buy them for you.
