    I saw these lights at target today, they will probably be the new Christmas light fad, but my first thought was "someone is going to put them under a pinball machine for backlighting".

    Then I thought, if done tastefully could this improve a game?

    Ive seen those on a few houses for a couple years now. Hmm I'm not fully on board with this "improving" anything unless it is your personal taste. I don't think I'd put them there, but I move my games a lot so if anything it'd just be a pain. Could be pretty sweet though.

    Why would you do that when you can buy a 300 RGB LED strip for $10 that can strobe and flash and is programmable in three different colours with remote to put under there. That's what most people do.

    It doesn't come with the power supply plug but you can wire it right into your pin. If you want the power plug so you don't need to use your pins power supply, it's an additional $5.

    Great deal. I bought 3 and am going to run them around the walls of the new gameroom for low lighting while playing instead of the 6 cans in the ceiling. I've seen it in a few gamerooms and it looks killer.

    Remember if you are using it for that you need to buy the power plug adapter. And if you are using it for room lighting I recommend the 5050 leds instead, they are much brighter.

    12VDC, got it. I used a much smaller version for a TZ door mod.
    It's going to be more for low ambient effect than lighting. I have 6 cans in the ceiling for BRIGHT
