As a newbie I don't have a stock of the various cool/warm white bulbs to see which look best, do any of the LED suppliers offer sample packs for just the cost of postage?
I have green under most of the plastics on mine and cool white under slings and outlanes. I did try other colours where I fitted the white but it was too dark and hard to see the ball on the lower playfield.HS2 on loan
Good job you've got it on loan. Sounds well expensive from what the BBC keep saying.HS2 on loan
I put them behind a translite I think they are too visible, too spotty
You want the diffused/frosted type of LEDs for in the backbox, it helps to disperse the light and minimise the spotty effect. Going for warm whites instead of cool also helps
I love the game but never liked the translite . Looks like the cassette cover art from a 1983 ZX Spectrum game
Camera makes this more obvious than it is, I'm using frosted ones from pinball-led and its a nice soft light.I love leds and want them everywhere but everytime I put them behind a translite I think they are too visible, too spotty like the ones lining both sides of the road in yout photo. I always end up taking them back out.
I guess it's personal taste, I've tried exactly those LEDs and I can't unsee them. Even those are still brighter/spottier than 555 incandescents.Camera makes this more obvious than it is, I'm using frosted ones from pinball-led and its a nice soft light.
Poor old Wez. I wonder what's happened to him these days?
