ToM has LED's from bcspinball.  WH2O and STTNG has the ablaze LED's and the whites are very bright.  Took awhile to get used to it.  I'll be interesting to try out a few from cointaker.  My opinion though is if I'm gonna spend the money on LED's then I want it to really pop.  Personal preference.

Interesting site, but I cannot figure out how to ship to Canada.


I am told this problem is now fixed

cointaker now has a promo - use "allentown".   Figures it took me awhile to order - problems with firefox/ie/certificates/etc, but didn't see this.   No big deal - I just did a small "trial" order to try different LEDs in different spots.

From rgp:

Quoted Text
If your not sure what you need give me a call. (570) 847-6366

Try our LEDs for yourself, you have nothing to loose.

In stock ready to ship!!!!

Use "Allentown" coupon for show pricing.

Quality LEDs at AFFORDABLE Prices.

Thanks

PinballJM brought me some LEDs to try on an older pin. apart from one slight problem, they look awesome!!! The only issue I had was that I probably have a parasitic resistance probably on a ground circuit, so when a few of the LEDs are on, they flicker. Actually a good thing to know.. means I have a problem I now know of and I will fix. Here's a pic... I installed the LEDs in the bottom card, and the 3 colored inserts below it. The blue LED on the right was merely to see if the GI would flicker as well, and it didn't.

This Big Game will get the LED treatment once restored.

I will try the LEDs on another feature lamp circuit, and swap a lamp driver to see if it gets better.

I just got my order from Cointaker. I am 110% satisfied with my experience.

They marked the package as "gift" and under 20 bucks so there were no customs nightmares. Used USPS as well.

The shipping ended up being much cheaper than quoted so they threw in a bunch of extra LED's. Shipping was approx 10 bucks less and I got approx 20 bucks worth of LED's as a bonus.

Some of the bonus colours are hard to use, like pink, orange and green, but i am sure I will find a use.

My DM is now PIMPED out. The top section is ALL blue (ramps have a AWESOME glow) and the bottom section is all white (all led's)

I will snap a pic when I get a chance.

They must be "working shipping to Canada out"

I say this because I had the same thing, but they just sent me 2X's my money in LED's in stead

(by 2X's my money I mean 2X's the difference in between shipping charged and actual shipping)

They gave me one of there NEW 555 LED spotlight leds...and is is SO bright I could not see for about 10 minutes when I was stupid and looked at it when I plugged it in....I put it under a white insert and it as just as bright if not BRIGHTER than a flasher.
