The earlier electronic pinballs (late 70s to mid 80s) didn't use matrixing, each lamp was individually controlled. But they still might strobe or flash if no resistor has been added to the lamp socket.

Thank you. I am also sensitive to strobing. Especially GI that's driven with ac power.

Great video-what type of leds did you install, Clear or frosted lens ?

Thanks! I used frosted, 1SMD bulbs from Comet Pinball--the cheapest, most basic bulbs they have. They're in the GI section. Nobody uses them for inserts because they're NOT non-ghosting, but a benefit to LED OCD is that you don't need fancy non-ghosting bulbs. With LED OCD you get better ramping/fading performance with bulbs that don't have the non-ghosting circuitry. Plus that saves you like $0.20 per bulb.

The worst thing about LED OCD is the cost. A default less configurable option would be great. I would buy a ton of those

It's not cheap, but the improvement is significant. If you haven't already converted a game to LEDs, then the cost of LED OCD is partially offset by buying cheap LEDs. With LED OCD, you can, and should!, buy cheap no-frills LEDs. Without LED OCD, you have to buy more-expensive non-ghosting LEDs, and if strobing bothers you then you might need extra-expensive LEDs with a capacitor that tries to combat strobing. The extra cost of more expensive LEDs adds up when you're doing the whole machine--and you can totally avoid that with LED OCD.

Have one in all my games that are compatible with it. Wouldn’t be without.
