Dude, that looks fantastic. LEDs, when done right, can really change a game.

Great application for the Britecaps! Nice yellow, too. It looks perfect with the color theme.

Awesome video quality and the Firepower looks beautiful, especially the new caps. Jungle Lord was my first and Firepower my second game ever...
Great job! :D

Thanks Chris! The color I chose was warm white, but when combined with the original caps - a neat yellow is what I got :mrgreen:

Thanks! I find myself trying to get the ball into the pops more often just to see the lights :roll:

Thank you! I really have to work on using that camera (Sony RX100) more often for videos vs the GoPro. I also need to get a program to easily blend a separate sound track with the video. I like using a remote mike but the RX100 doesn't have a mike input. I do have a digital audio recorder so I am almost there ;) This video was recorded using the built in mike (not too bad but could be better).

I was wondering about that. It's so tough to get the exact color you want when matching colored LEDs and colored plastics. I think it came out perfect. If that's warm white, yellow probably would have been a sickly pea-green/yellow shade.
