chriz99 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 tested flasher and strobe LEDs. Intensity is more than enough and with xm-l strobe LEDs cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software
Darkfall Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Those XM-L strobes are bright! Do you still have a normal strobe on the machine, like you had with the old one, or are you just using the LED strobes? ...Paul Check out Wildfire Pinball's build details here: Project Wildfire
chriz99 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 thanks gents! no, I use the XM-L LEDs (and the mini playfield LEDstrobes) for stroboscope effects... so you can change the strobe-frequency directly via ledwiz (1-10 flashes a sec). they are insanely bright - no more need for a real big strobe. cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software

That is awesome. I was looking at the XM-L's - they put out 2W each, apparently. I found these things - they put out 5W each (350 lumens!). I'm thinking I may grab a few of them and try them out. I figure 3 of them between my RGB flashers would be about right. What do you think? ...Paul Check out Wildfire Pinball's build details here: Project Wildfire
chriz99 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 no, each XM-L put out 12W when you drive them with maximum setting... so you have about 1000lumen per XM-L -> the industry’s highest performance, single-die white lighting-class LED cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software
Darkfall Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I must be looking at the wrong thing, then. I'm looking at the CREE XM-L T6 on Star PCB at led-tech.de's site. They list it as 2.3W (975 lumens). There is a 3 x CREE XM-L T6 on Round PCB that puts out 6.3W (2985 lumens). The most powerful one I can find on the site is the 4 x CREE MC-E on Round PCB at 3008 lumens. You must have a 6 x CREE XM-L (or something) that I can't seem to find on the site...? ...Paul Check out Wildfire Pinball's build details here: Project Wildfire
chriz99 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 yes, at minimum settings with 700mA (2.9V/2.03W/280lumen)... max = 4V/12W @ 3000mA/975lumen I use 6 single XM-L on star @ 2800mA, the effect is amazing. Just enough for a real strobe kick. You need simply power for strobe effects cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software
Darkfall Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Ahh, I see what you mean now! I'm a little slow *grin*. I gather you drive a relay from the LEDWiz, which then feeds power to your strobe LED set? ...Paul Check out Wildfire Pinball's build details here: Project Wildfire
chriz99 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 I use a fast switching opto relay for the strobes, which is controled by the ledwiz. cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software

Numiah Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Wow, I really love the deepness of the playfield. **Each pinball machine is a tiny universe... that we control** My Build Overview My Computer Specifications
Darkfall Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 The pixel perfect aspect ratio of the DMD makes a surprising difference to the quality of the look, I find. It looks so much more authentic when there isn't the interference pattern of it not being an even ratio. The playfield depth definitely does look awesome. I'm glad I went the same route now. ...Paul Check out Wildfire Pinball's build details here: Project Wildfire
