Hi,

all 4 of my 12v GI bulbs had gone on the hobbit i recently acquired.

I picked up one of these to test, I generally thought it was something more serious.

Comet C12v Opmax (Optimus Maximus)​


"The 12v version of our brightest diffused lighting on the market - casts light over 300 degrees. These bulbs are great for very dark areas of general illumination and in spotlights for games that use 12v GI. "

However its far too bright, its fine in one socket below the top right flipper as its useful to see the flipper, the rest nope!

Any one got any recommendations for a low brightness bulb that's 12v that I can put in the other 3?

Thanks

Thanks, found the bulbs I'm looking for at pinball life, had to order a specific bit for a part that snapped yesterday on the hobbit.

It was more the 12v if there where any in stock somewhere, I could find other voltages but because there part of jersey jack GI there slightly different to other bulbs, well I think they are, others seem to be 5 or 6 volts.

Went for yellow but bought some white as a backup in case it looked rubbish
