Indeed in a game room the lights normally aren't that bright.
BTW I have seen pictures of translucent balls that do light up evenly. See Knievels work and HooPZ mentioned his ball lights up evenly too.

* HoopZ thinks 37 years of frustration while waiting for someone to ask to see a picture of his ball may be ending soon!

I was wondering if there were some revealing pictures of your ball around, but I thought asking for it might be inappropriate :P

Knievl's ball in the Neon Mame looks to be a regular 3" blue translucent (Happ) ball. You can see the lens effect happening on his pics too (outside of the ball is darker then the center). Not sure how Knievel illuminated it, with a single LED or several. Also, a blue ball is still blue unlit. There were once translucent red balls that were also (more) red unlit (instead of orange):

The pictures of those "red" balls look pretty bad :o

Sure there is a minor lens effect, but it's not like there is "virtually no light visible" if you look at the ball from the side.
That one seems to use 3 leds through the hole in the bottom. *snicker*
