I must admit I have been quite discouraged by price and selection of LEDs. If you look at BCS's site, you have NO idea what to take... there are many types of white LEDs. I personally find it excessive.

Price doesn't help either. I can get a box of 10 standard #44-47 lamps for 85 cents. In some cases it's half the price of a single LED.

The NOFLIX anti-flicker LEDs I looked at came up to well over 2.50$ a lamp!!! That's 67.50$ just to do the card inserts on Big Game!!

No thanks. I rather just use incandescent lamps, and leave the DMD collectors their LEDs.

Don't lump us all in with that lot, I really like the look but I can't justify the price.  $100 - $200 to do an entire machine in LED's  $20 or less for regular old light bulbs, the choice seems pretty easy to me.  

The only time I can justify LED's is in pop bumpers since LEDS will last forever the impossible the change pop bumper lights make sense.  

LED's are expensive but to me, they make the game so much more enjoyable.  It's no different than people who redo their cabinet decals once it's wrinkled under the legs.  I could care less about the cab decal.  To each their own but I'm hooked on LED's.  Anyone who has seen my games really do notice a big difference from the LED's.

I use Original GE 555's in my Pop's, they sSeem to last real well. I bought a whole bunch a couple of times from Steve at Pinball Resource. I think in a Home game, they will last a long time!

I do like LED's in certain aplications. They work very well in "Painted" inserts, the faces and Instruments on Monster Bash for example. I play in Bright light in my place so lighting the hard to see inserts is important.
