What reason would you have to convert to LEDs?

Energy Efficiency: LED bulbs are much more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, which can significantly reduce the electricity consumption of the pinball machine.

Longer Lifespan: LED bulbs have a much longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs, which means less frequent replacement and maintenance.

Brighter Light: LED bulbs produce a brighter and more consistent light, which can enhance the overall playing experience and make the playfield easier to see.

Reduced Heat: LED bulbs produce less heat than incandescent bulbs, which can help prevent overheating and damage to the pinball machine components.

Color Options: LED bulbs come in a variety of colors, allowing for customization and personalization of the pinball machine's lighting effects.

Environmental Benefits: LED bulbs are more environmentally friendly than incandescent bulbs, as they contain no toxic materials and are recyclable.

Overall, upgrading pinball machine light bulbs with LED bulbs can improve energy efficiency, lifespan, brightness, customization options, and environmental impact, making it a worthwhile investment for pinball enthusiasts.

When selecting a white bulb for my pinball machine, which one should I choose from?

When selecting LEDs bulbs for your game you commonly have three to choose from, warm white, white and coolwhite.

Below shows the difference between all three types of white.   

We always recommend  leaving the original bulb on half your game and make changes to the other half of the game using different lights based on the appearance you want to achieve.   This way you can compare your changes to what the original game looked like with the incandescent lights.   Give your game the upgrade it needs by choosing bulbs from Pinball LEDS by DRAPL.  

Warm White:  Collectors who want to retain the original feel of there game usually go with this type of bulb as it mostly represents the original incandescent bulbs.   This is commonly used for general illumination (GI) in games with warm colors.  This will retain the original color of the game in the point of view of photography as the human eye cannot see the changes / effects of introducing different lights to a game. Warm white is around 3000-4000 Kelvin.

Cool White: This light is considered the brightest and introduces a blue tinge of color which cannot be seen with the human eye but does show when taking photo's of a game.  It will change the appearance of green's and yellows.   If you are trying to illuminate a dark looking playfield, this is the choice you need to make to brighten up those old System 10 / 11 games.   This is also recommended for general illumination (GI) in games with dark colors like blue and black. This is the common bulb used in all new modern games. Cool White is  about 5000-6000 Kelvin.

White: This is our recommended bulb as it sits between the warm white and cool white spectrum.   This can be used in all games and is not as harsh as the cool white bulbs when it comes to illumination but gives the brightness people look for when upgrading to led lighting.   Collectors who want to make the change and upgrade to leds usually choose this bulb. White is in the color range is 4000-5000 Kelvin.
