"I build my own LEDs and I put blue ones all over in my Xenon. It was excessive. I believe that you are better off sticking with white ones where it is white, except in the pop bumpers where I left the blue ones. On the backglass, there are lights around the central face. Those I left blue and it is out of this world. I also made here eyes with red LEDs. To do them yourself, it works only with 44 or 47 lights..."

Merci pour la translation mon ami.

Home created LEDs work where the DC is steady and not containing ripple, otherwise you get "flicker".

I put one home made Blue LED in a Xenon pop bumper and it makes an interesting difference (And the rest will follow if I don't start distributing the commercial versions soon).  Less effective viewing angle, but the blue hue is greatly increased and dramatic.  It "modernizes" the pin a bit (of this age) to have updated LED lighting, so the effect is very personal to how you like to experience your pins. sanding of the lens of LEDs is one way to get them to throw a broader angle of light, but I find that Superflux LEDs are a much better bet overall (very hardy compared to Kingbright's early attempts at wide angle multicolour LEDs).

Here's one link with instructions on constructing your own "changing light" LED for pinballs: http://www.flipper-pinball-fan.be/

This is true...............it looks like they are on very faintly.They work well on lights that are always on.......or flashing

I know nothing of LED's. Is that particular resistor used regardless of LED type?

I want to try to make a few of my own, it looks easy.

This would be a WICKED "write up/how to" to have here on the forum!!

The resistors have to be a certian resistance for it to work right I believe.I could find out what rating when I get home

Sorry for yesterday ' s french version ... I must ' ve thought i was on the french channel ... Here ' s a pic of how i learned to make leds some 4 years ago , using 10 mm leds and 120ohms resistors , but shaving the top square , WOW ... got to try it ...

I used 5mm leds for mine

I use 120 and / or 130 ohms resistors , but i can ' t remember what ' s my leds strentgh . They ' re brighter with the 120 ohms resistors . I ' ll find out how to calculate the ratio from my friend Daniel and post it on this forum ...  

here is a good price....I ordered 100

But it seem to have only 1 led per bulb. I ordered some at canadapinballparts and each bulb have 3 led. Its probably making a huge difference with 3 led compared to 1!!
