kkb Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I am looking at putting some led's into my Flintstone . Is there a certain type I should be using and or any that I should avoid. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceballs Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Am about to do the same with my TOM. The way i'm going to go is through RTBB. He stocks the Ablaze ones and i have them in my TSPP and they look amazing :cool: I will look at the Ablaze 3 and Ablaze 1. I think the A1 is for larger inserts and the A3 for smaller ones. I tend to match colour with insert. General illumination cool white etc. As for backbox, flashers etc never done. So it will be a bit of trail and error. Do what i did initally. Buy a handfull of Greg,fit them, see if you like em then order away. There was also a great thread put up here by tomdotcom from memory. Excellent read...i'll look for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humble9682 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 If you are thinking of buying bulk amoutn of LED's you may consider a supplier from the US as prices are cheaper in general and with the $ the way it is at the moment you cant go wrong. I have bought from PinballLife http://www.pinballlife.com and they are quite good. Best thing would be to buy a sample pack from one of the local guys see what you like and the place a larger order from either them locally or someone overseas.

luke Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have been testing LEDs in my Williams Bally machines for about a year now. I've found that most LEDs go dull in GI after around 3-4 months. The cheapest and best option in pinball life for ablaze 3 inserts and coin taker "retro" only! for GI as they have been going strong now for ages and haven't dulled at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railways Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Personal taste, but myself I'd leave GI as normal #44/47 or#555.Don't even think about LED the back glass, looks totally wrong IMO.Inserts only methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
