What is the point of lighting your controls?

Its just a test CP for now, I have some nice sequences planned for my 3 CPs and table top etc. I have three LED Wiz's and a Pac drive to program simultanously which should be fun. They are only single colour LEDs so I have to get 122 outputs on the LED Blinky sequencer screen. Fun times ahead! :)

That came out awesome man. Loving the light up around the joystick. How did you do that in fact with the light up around the joy?
Edit:: Nevermind, I saw the panels out in the open that you did on your thread. You gave me ideas for future projects :). But the cab is coming out awesome, keep up the good work and will definitely like to see the final build.

Neat!
Loafmeister:
I always felt it was overkill, a friend of mine wants them just for that "bling" effect, but that wasn't my cup of tea.
Then I saw Arzoo's thread...
Now, on my next cab I will probably have them. I don't care about attract mode flashy lights, but when people are over to play games, the first question they have is: "what controls am I supposed to use for this game"... and of course that question gets repeated for every game. Here's a shocker, I'm no expert and thus don't know every game's control scheme. I could look it up but ledblinky along with those flashy buttons become more than aesthetics, rather a powerful and convenient tool.
Not everone wants to play a 1 button game and even some of the old classics like Asteroid (good choice for the demo Arzoo) really benefit from the lights and the ledblinky.

Seconding this. I have mine set to show an image of the active controls on my panel during pause.
