Quoted from UvulaBob:

I did some checking, and LEDs don't seem to be that expensive. I don't know why some are 3 dollars a bulb and others are 80 cents. I may have to look into this further.

Comet has some cheap ones, and if you don't want to go coloured, you can buy bulk and really cut that down. The CT bulk site that I always forget has some bulk deals as well.

The good thing with LEDs, even though they are more, is that they run at much less power, less heat, and you don't have to worry about changing them out again, which is a big concern for pre early 90s machines where you couldn't access them from under the PF for GI.

Plus, they just look f'ing rad in machines, especially when you play around with the colours.

Quoted from joemamma:

Because LEDs suck! They are blinding if used on an entire game.

To each their own. I think incandescent suck, but hey, that's just me.

I bet there were people thought cards sucked over bulbs for original computers, but look where we are now? The fact of the matter is that LEDs are the lighting of the future, and at some point incandescent will be gone, so enjoy it while you go it
