TZ gumball lamps - warm white?

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

I have the opportunity to build some gumball lamp sets in warm white.
These will better match the incandescent look of the machine. I think
that this version will work best with an unmodified clock, or a clock
modified with warm white LEDs.


However, if the clock already has the LED mod, then the bright white
look of the regular LEDs is the right way to go. I would envisage
offeringthe kit with the LEDs and resistors needed to modify the clock.



Any thoughts?

I'm confused (imagine that! is this for the clock or the gumball
machine? Is this a change to your existing gumball lights or is this a
retrofit for the original clock board or led clock board?

It means a second version of the gumball lamp board. So there would be
two versions of the gumball lamp kit - LED white and warm LED white.

The LED white gumball lamp kit would go with the LED white clock from
PinLiz, or another retrofit.

The warm LED white kit would go with an incandescent lamp clock (ugh);
or, it would go with a clock modded with warm white LEDs. So the
gumball kit would come with four loose warm white LEDs and foru loose
resistors, the extra parts being for a clock mod.

It looks yellow against a regular white LED, but it isn't a yellow
light. I'll have to kit my machine up and get a picture.

That's an interesting idea, Martin. How far toward the yellow end of the
spectrum is this warm white light?

If they more closely match the incandescent "yellow-white" light, that
would be a good thing overall.

I am interested in purchasing how do I get in contact with you?
