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!
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?
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.
