[@billgoings276]

Hey, in Orlando for American Legion Fall Conference, and there's a Pinball Tournament going on at the Hotel. Talked with some guys from a place called The Pinball Lounge, from Oviedo, FL. know of you and claim you're a Household name in the Pinball world. Glad I know a famous person.😁 Good luck in all yoh do, Dave!

The simplicity is amazing. The results are beautiful!

Do I HAVE to connect the + to the + and the - to the -? Sometimes I can’t get it to fit properly without turning it around…….

[@dyopp21]

Yes. Because of the nature of an LED being a diode, it won't work in reverse polarity. The good news is if you ever put one in backwards it shouldn't hurt anything, it simply won't work.

Sorry, I have not watched the entire video yet, but since these have a + and - , I assume that they can't be used for the GI bulbs since they are AC. Am I wrong about that?

[@dyopp21]

They are not well suited for GI because they don't provide enough dispersed light above the playfield. Also, because the GI is AC they will burn at half brightness.

@@dyopp21 We are using NeoPixel style programable LED on our playfields and we take some 1/2" clear plastic rods cut to about 1" lengths, round off one end on a small lathe to approximate a lightbulb. With the flat end of the rod sitting flush with the NeoPixel, it does a great job of distributing the light above the playfield. But, for that to work for the Yoppsicles, you would need to make a variant with either a full wave bridge rectifier, or two leds mounted in opposite directions.

What in God's name is a yoppsicle?
