For many pinball collectors and enthusiasts, swapping out old incandescent bulbs for vibrant, high-brightness LEDs is the quickest way to make a machine feel "brand new" again.
However, those new to modding often pause with a technical concern: "LEDs have different electrical properties than standard bulbs. Will simply plugging them in damage my machine? Do I need to install extra heat sinks or resistors?"
In this post, we are answering this common question so you can upgrade with total confidence.

The Core Question: Do I need extra heat sinks or voltage adjustments?
The simple answer is: No, absolutely not.
Many people bring their experience from general automotive or home lighting mods to pinball, assuming they need to deal with complex wiring, resistors, or overheating issues. But with our specific Pinball LEDs, these worries are unnecessary.
Here are three reasons why this is a "worry-free" upgrade:
1. Designed for 6.3V Circuits
Vintage and modern pinball machine lighting circuits generally operate on 6.3V AC/DC. Our LEDs are engineered specifically to this standard. This means the necessary driver circuitry is built right into the LED bulb itself, allowing it to adapt perfectly to your machine's power supply.
2. True "Plug-and-Play" Replacement
You don’t need an electrical engineering degree, and you certainly don’t need to pick up a soldering iron to change a transformer.
-
No Resistors Needed: Our LEDs have internal current control.
-
No Wiring Changes: Simply pull out the old glass bulb and push in the new LED. It’s that simple.

3. Cooler Operation Protects Your Machine
The biggest enemy of a pinball machine is heat. Over time, the high heat from traditional incandescent bulbs can warp plastics, cause inserts to cup (sink), and crack delicate backglass artwork.
In contrast, LEDs consume very low power and generate minimal heat. Under normal operating conditions, they not only eliminate the need for heat sinks but actually help preserve your collectible machine by reducing the thermal stress on surrounding parts.
These LEDs no extra heat dissipation or voltage modification is required.
Custom Design: These LEDs are specifically designed for standard 6.3V pinball lamp circuits.
Direct Fit: They can directly replace original bulbs without modification.
Efficiency: Because of the low power consumption and low heat generation, no additional heat sinks, resistors, or power supply changes are needed under normal operating conditions.
