The Expression Light System is a proprietary lighting upgrade system manufactured by Stern Pinball for their machines, particularly those on the Spike 3+ platform. It functions as a complete modular lighting solution that includes a topper unit, speaker kits, and various plate options to enhance the visual experience of pinball machines. The system represents a significant aftermarket or premium add-on cost ($600) that has generated industry discussion about whether it should be standard on newer Stern machines. As of 2025, it appears on recent Stern releases like The Walking Dead Remastered and has become a focal point in community debates about pricing and features on limited edition cabinets.
