Room lighting for Pinball Machines
nickbuol:
We have recessed lights throughout our basement and yes, over the pinball machine is is terrible. We put in some dimmers, and it still doesn't help enough, and yes with the lights off it is too dark with all of the flashing lights of the game. We have the pinball currently positioned "between" some recessed lights on a different wall so that the one recessed light is right above the backbox and the other ends up just behind the player. Of course, moving your pinball may not be an option. I've also toyed with having some tall "lamp" type lighting, so that it can be off to the side to create some ambiant light in the room and the recessed lights can be turned off. It works OK if you 1) have a tall lamp, 2) have a place to put the lamp...

I still wonder how well it does with a main light source directly above it???? Not saying it wouldn't work, just wondering... I know it helps with reflections, but a recessed light at 75-100 watts might be noticable still.
Anyone here have a machine with Invisiglass?
spoot:
No clue if it would help direct or not either. I think PAPA uses it with the cameras right above it.....so it might? ???

This is a really silly thread. Why not spend $20 on various lighting solutions and pick the one you like best?
