[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 222619, member: 320"] [MEDIA=youtube]IJ1EOY7HJQk[/MEDIA] Check out this video of a Gottlieb Target Pool I repaired. All the general illumination is LED. Well, SMD to be exact. The vid gives a pretty good representation of how it can look. All the playfield lighting are Cointaker Retros. I used some colored SMD's for the pool balls in the backglass. The people on the backglass are illuminated by Pinball Life 3LED bulbs. I actually like these better than the Cointakers because, one, they're cheaper and two, they're a bit warmer looking. All the underplayfield lighting are incandescents. It's tough to get that really warm look of a regular bulb but the heat savings on the plastics can make up for it. Also, I don't buy kits. I'll look at the game I bought, use a pen and paper and count the number of each color I want. Cheaper this way and you're not bound by someone else's decision on what they thought looked good.
