The app is a really nice touch. I didn't think I'd be a fan but I enjoy playing in the dark and this lights up the PF art nicely.
Just checked out their website and it is $150usd plus shipping per kit to light up a game. I probably spent less than that adding spotlights and other small led strip to all 12 of my games. You can check here for some ideas along with some before/after pics too.

You can probably make your own pin stadium light kits from sourcing out the parts yourself from ebay or aliexpress.
Bluetooth RGB controller $12-15usd shipped

Yeah, the only thing I don't like about it is the price. $99USD would be more inline to what I was thinking. I guess that extra $50USD is to cover the cost of the app development. The different colours are cool. I see myself playing around with this for a while a first until I settled on a design I liked and then just leaving it like that. So the app would be wasted on me. The flasher integration seems cool, but I don't really understand how it works. They didn't go into much depth on that.
Of course the thing that would really stop me from buying this is that one time I forget to remove them and busting the shit out of them as I lift the playfield.

There are tons of free bluetooth rgb control apps on the Google Play Store that have the same or similar interface as seen in the video above except no Pinball Stadium logo on the top.
I didn't watch the video completely but I think the RGB strips used probably have two alternating banks of leds. There first bank is used for lighting up the playfield and the second bank is tied to the flasher and lights up interactively with the game.

Yes, I think that is how it is done too. The upper are the flasher and the lower are the stadium lights. You can probably get the L brackets from Home Depot, and I know you can get rolls of magnet tape from the same place.

I was tempted to give it a try but $260 usd for the strips + the gi and flasher integration before shipping is just too crazy expensive for my taste.
