Bulb advice

[StandUpAndFight]

After last week's fun with Tron, all now fixed thanks to you good people, I have noticed I have a few bulbs out. I'm guessing that the red one is an LED and should be fairly standard? Also, does the case colour indicate it is a red bulb (it comes from the right outlane under a red Special insert?

There were a couple of white bulbs in little silver holders mounted on the slingshots that seem to have fallen out from all the playfield manoeuvres and that I am struggling to find in the cab. Are they likely to be the same type as the red one?

The blue one came out of a domed flasher, and is definitely incandescent. Are there LED replacements for these or do I have to just replace like with like?

Apologies for the newb questions

The red one is known as a wedge or #555 bulb. I'd reccomend replacing with a comet from Retro Arcade Specialists or Pinball Heaven. Just find a wedge led and pick your colour.

The flasher is a bayonet flasher/#89, you can get led versions of those. If you get an incandescent it might be hard to find one painted blue.

The ones above the slingshots might be spotlights? If so they're likely to be wedge/#555 as well. Replace with a wedge white, frosted or clear. Upto you!

Thanks David, you're a star as ever!

Can I just ask what the difference is between bulbs and flashers? I am ordering the Comet 2SMDs for the spotlights and insert. Could I use the same to replace the incandescent (in bayonet form) or would they have to be the 13v flashers listed on Retro?

Flashers are a higher voltage (12v) usually a bigger socket too unless they're a wedge.
So I don't think a normal insert/gi led would work as intended.

Retro Arcade Specialists has a sale on this weekend too so you're in luck. Treat yourself to some new Titan flipper rubbers or something
