Pop bumper LED rings

[a.stebel]

I am addicted to the LED rings from Drapl. I think they are so amazing. Makes me want to sell my games without pop bumpers.

Here is my Sttng. Just wanted to show that cutting the rings is a possibility. Always hated the missing pop bumper cap behind the beta ramp.

I like the rings too, but I like getting them with white light underneath so it lights up the playfield under the pops.

More pop bumper ring additions.

X-men didn’t even have pop bumper caps. X-men had a plastic with a hole in the center for an led.

Now it has both.

Combined 2 of Drapl’s lighting options.
Just took the middle led, and ground it down a bit so it would fit up inside the pop bumper cap. Then combined it with the ring.

More ring pictures. Fish Tales is the recipient of combining rings and discs.
Green caps, blue bodies, white skirts.

Lord of the Rings had no caps to add led rings. So I added the caps. I had to do lots of cutting with my dremel, especially to lower pop bumper.

I did make a potential ball hang up. Will have to see if it ever happens.

Just be carful with the install, if the LEDs tough metal when being installed, they will go out for good. I learned this the hard way but Eddie was nice enough to replace them. Need to glue them to the top of the plastic.

Thanks for the tip. I have had nothing but great luck with the rings. I have done everything to them. Cut them, grinded them, soldered extra things to them, touched them to metal, they are really robust.

Hi guys, we will have pop bumper leds with color tops and white bottoms coming in shortly as they are being manufactured. They will also have a dim screw to dim and increase intensity of light. To further make it more practical they will have the matrix plug on its end so that you can use with 555 or 44 matrix led bulb. I will post once the are in so everyone is aware of the addition to our matrix line. Thanks to all the kind comments.

How do they attach to the bumpers?

Looks like I’ll be redoing all my pop bumpers. White on the bottoms sounds great. More light!

Use a glue gun and attached to cap. Then connect connector and screw cap back on. No different then rings bought from Comet.

The main goal is to apply a thin layer of clue to bottom circuits that can possibly hit the metal pop bumper.

Other then that you should not have any issues.

This is how pop bumper rings should all be. Thanks for getting these.

I used them in my Space Shuttle restore. Coloured rings with colour matched clear caps. They look super. I epoxied them in place and just ran the wires below the playfield and right into the wiring harness. Yes, I know it will be a problem if they burn out or I have issues but I used clear bodies and skirts as well and didn't want the ugly guts showing inside.
