EDITED FOR LATEST UPDATE-Frosted caps

I am now able to get frosted caps for these... Caps are .05 each.

I contacted the vendor I used before and got him down on price a bit on some styles and got him to add a couple of colors as well...

Remember these are the same bulbs (without the caps) as these-

I know LEDs are personal preference, but I find myself using these 5050 SMDs in a ton of applications because they are so bright and have 270 degree spread (they look great behind translites and under inserts). I still use frosted in various places, and use comet pinball for most of my stuff, but if I can save money, I am going to.

Here is what I have now (or coming actually)-

555 (dc style, if they don't work in one direction, simply spin them 180)
PINK- .55 ea
PURPLE- .55 ea
WARM WHITE- .50ea
COOL WHITE- .50ea
YELLOW- .50ea
RED- .50ea
GREEN-.50ea
BLUE- .50ea

44 (ac style, orientation doesn't matter)
PINK- .65 ea
PURPLE- .65ea
WARM WHITE- .55ea
COOL WHITE- .55ea
YELLOW- .55ea
RED- .55ea
GREEN- .55ea
BLUE- .55ea

Cool White 906 Flashers- .65ea

Shipping is a flat $4.00 or if you want to pick them up from my place or bring them to a league night, I certainly can....

Remember, these DO ghost (just like the others vendors do that I listed), but it really comes down to the game and application in which they are used. Most Williams and DE games don't ghost, and most Stern and Gottlieb games do (something to keep in mind).....

Ahh what the hell... I pulled the trigger on about $1500 in bulbs... It's a calculated risk, but I am confident it is worth it.... I should have some bulbs in a few weeks if anyone needs them :)

Your future looks bright!
Sound investment if you ask me.
Especially at that price.

The worst part is that all of that money in bulbs will arrive in a tiny box about 10" square... :D

I'm sure I'll need some too. Especially after someone teaches me all about lights.

Alright... so I got half my order in so far... these ARE the same style as the CT Supers. So literally HALF the price of the CT supers for basically the SAME bulb. These are a hair shorter in length, but the light is identical. These are non polarized (can go in either direction).

Colors are as stated before- Warm white, cool white, blue, green, yellow, and red.

Only style is 555. Each bulb is .55 regardless of how many you order.

Lets say shipping and packaging is $4.00 regardless of how many you need....Let me know what you need!

Alright guys, I am out of bulbs and am placing another $3000 bulk order. I have 8 games I will be doing, but will be buying plenty of extras as I have had a lot of people contact me. I actually can't believe how fast these sold out the first time, thought I would have them for a year, but have sold a lot more of them than I thought I would.

I contacted the vendor I used before and got him down on price a bit on some styles and got him to add a couple of colors as well...
