FAQs

Pro is the original kit: app-controlled white and full colour, bright enough to change the machine completely, with UV+Glow flashers.

Premium is the one most people buy. Around 2.5× brighter than Pro with deeper, richer colour, upgraded UV flasher LEDs and more GI coverage.

LE has everything Premium has, plus a Wi-Fi controllable flasher system built into the light bars — each flasher on your machine gets its own cable, so the lights follow what the game is doing.

Still not sure? email us with your machine and we will tell you which one fits.

Premium. It is the middle kit by price and the top of the range for most collectors — the extra brightness over Pro is the difference people notice first. Go to LE if you want per-flasher colour that reacts to the game.

A set of UV flashers built into the light bars. They fire with the machine’s own flashers and light up anything fluorescent on the playfield — art, ramps, plastics — in a way normal light cannot.

Brighter RGB colour LEDs, for more colour punch across the playfield.

A set of Wi-Fi controllable RGB flashers that adds four more flashers with dazzling effects.

A diffuser. It smooths the light so the playfield is evenly lit instead of showing hot spots.

Yes — one kit lights one machine. The good news is a kit is not tied to the machine it was installed on: take it off and move it to the next one whenever you like.

Ten to fifteen minutes, no tools at all. Every kit ships with step-by-step instructions, and there is a full illustrated guide on this site. If you get stuck, email us — the people who built the kit answer.

No. Nothing is drilled, cut or soldered. The bars mount magnetically and the cables clip on, so the kit comes off again and leaves the machine exactly as it was. If your machine is under a manufacturer warranty, check their own policy on mods before you fit anything — that is their call, not ours.

Alligator clips onto any 4V–24V bulb or shaker-motor trigger. Polarity does not matter — we switch it for you — and no soldering is needed. You can splice or solder if you prefer, but you do not have to.

Search your machine on the flasher connections lookup — it gives the exact trigger number and location, and for LE kits the cable colour for each one.

To find a flasher number on the machine itself, open the coin door and go to Settings → Diag → Lamps → Flash. Connect to a flasher, never to a GI bulb.

A plug-and-play adapter goes into your machine’s service port, so it looks factory and draws no power from the machine at all. The lights come on and go off with the machine, and sync with the game’s modes during play.

UK and EU machines sometimes have no service port. If yours does not, the power plugs into the wall instead with a standard adapter.

Yes. They come off cleanly and go straight onto the next machine.

Everything needed to install, no tools required:

• Pair of light bars, ready to install
• Control unit
• GI and flasher cables
• Plasma power supply
• 2× cable clamps
• Alcohol wipes
• Instructions
• Free iOS and Android app

The kits fit all standard-size and widebody machines. Tested on Bally/Williams (all), Stern (new and old), Chicago Gaming, Jersey Jack, Spooky, Gottlieb, Data East, American Pinball and Heighway.

Yes. The app has an EM setting that gives warm white only, so an electro-mechanical keeps its natural factory look while still being properly lit.

Yes — all three, tested.

XENO Mounts fit Stern Spike 2 and Spike 3 machines only. They are included free with Premium, LE and “Things” Edition kits for those machines.

No. Everything is adjustable 0–100% in the app, so you dial it to taste. Want a dark, eerie look on The Walking Dead or Alien? Run the white at 20–30% and pick whatever colour you like on top — over 16 million of them.

No. Installed correctly they run cool.

There is one mistake that makes them run warm: connecting the Red/Green UV+Glow cable to a GI bulb instead of a flasher. GI is on constantly, so the UV+Glow never gets to rest. Put that cable on a flasher and heat is a non-issue.

Glass glare is heavily reduced or gone for a lot of customers, and plenty report higher scores simply from seeing the playfield properly. Spotlights become unnecessary. See better, play better.

Lighting, on any machine, old or new. Adding LED bulbs to inserts and GI makes the bright parts brighter and the dark parts look worse by contrast — the dark corners of the playfield are the actual problem. A Pin Stadium kit covers the whole playfield evenly and fixes the dark spots, installs in 10–15 minutes and is controlled from your phone. It is the mod most collectors start with, and it won the #1 TWIPY award from This Week in Pinball.
