If you use the 555 sockets use 1/2" shrink tube to hold the leds in so they don't fall out.
I can't make sense of your picture. But you don't need shrink tube. The bulbs dont fall out. In this case, the bulb is held in by gravity on top of the pressure of the socket, which is sufficient even if the bulb was upside down. Here is a picture from the bottom through the coin door. The top of the bulb is flex so it points to the top of the button.
Quoted from vid1900:Yes, those would be good sockets.
Believe it or not, they don't come up in a search on Pinball life for "lamp socket", LOL.
Yea, I use "spotlight" for the search since I use these all the time to add spot lights after doing LED installs. Brightens the entire machine to play in a dark gameroom.
