LED basic questions
Posted: Mon May 30, 2016 1:04 am
Hey guys, I'm getting ready to invest in Comet LED's for Goldeneye and I have a few questions that I can't find in my searches online.
1. Does non-ghosting requirements apply to bulbs used for GI lighting? - I ask because I wanted to go with 2 SMD bulbs, but I don't see any frosted non-ghosting bulbs on their site.
2. I've seen LED flashers that totally blind you, are those the 8 SMD flashers? I was thinking of going with the 5 SMD matrix bulbs, thoughts?
3. Looking under the play field it appears there are some GI mounts that cannot be unscrewed from underneath, am I missing something? or do I have to remove the ramps/plastics they are hiding under to replace them from above the playfield?
4. Am I ok going with the faceted bulb for the parallel mounted inserts? or should I go with the flex bulbs?
What are your thoughts on my light selections (all color matched, all Natrual White GI)?
Inserts (both perpendicular and parallel mounted) : 2 SMD faceted non-ghosting http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/2smd3528-ng.htm
GI/backglass (ghosting): 2 SMD frosted http://www.cometpinball.com/Comet-Pinba ... p/2led.htm
GI/backglass(non-ghosting): 1 SMD frosted http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/1smd5050ng.htm
Flashers: 5 SMD matrix http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/5smdflash.htm
Spot light: Optix Maximus Spot http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/opmax-nr.htm
I'm sure I'll have more questions as the project moves forward.
Thanks!
