This should be a short video because I merely just want to show off a product that I purchased. Was not sent to me for free or anything like that. I saw it on Facebook and I saw the ease of install and I was even more impressed with the price and I was like, "Add to cart, send it to me now." And what this product does, and for those of you out there that have like bare playfields or trashed playfields and you put them as wall art hanging on your wall, if you would like that to illuminate and look like it's in attract mode and just kind of have a little more appeal to it, then this product may be for you. Now, I think I've seen another version of this product before, but the price is like double, if not tripled. and I saw that all the work involved and I think in that particular install was just a lot more and I was like I I just want it to light up. I don't need whatever they've got going on. But that's what also attracted to me this product is is the fact that it just was so easy to do. Uh and I think that's what's going to appeal to a lot of you. One, that it's cheap. Two, it's very easy to use. It's almost, you know, just like you can set it up and program it and do all kinds of options or you can just plug it in and just let it do its thing. So many options there. But this is what I'm dealing with here. Now, after install and dealing with the product and seeing what it looks like, I am going to end up getting other kits for my other playfields that I've got on my wall. But I mainly just wanted to see what my spare getaway playfield looked like because this is the only getaway playfield in the world that I'm aware of, guys, that has all clear inserts. This is the one that I did years ago and I was planning on putting in the getaway that has won grand champion years ago. I planned on that having all clear inserts and doing something with that, but it did not turn out the way I was wanting it to. So, I ended up going with the default standard playfield. I won Grand Champions, so I'm not upset about it, guys. But, but I really wanted to see what this game would look like with the inserts all lit up, and this product has now given me the ability to do that. And I think that I was It looks pretty damn cool. Honestly, it's mainly for wall art. Would I want it inside my Getaway game? No, probably not so much. I don't think the game would look really good with RGB, but on the wall, just showing off and being pretty, then yeah, I'm all for it. When it comes to install instructions, everything's inside the box. The kit that you get, it's pretty straightforward, guys. And like I said, it's very simple to do. Now, the standard kit only comes with 5050 LEDs. So, keep that in mind because even on my getaway, there's still some inserts that aren't lit because that game has more inserts. I'm guessing he's going by 50 because people are probably putting the older games like EM on their walls and I they didn't have as many inserts as some of the newer machines do. So, I've got like Earth Shaker, which will probably be fine with 50, but like Labyrinth and my Galactic Tank Force that I have up there is going to need more. And you can purchase additional lines and equipment. Like you'll see everything is itemized on the website for you to add things to your cart. Also, if you do not want the RGB, you can get the warm LED look that's available on the website as well. And there's also an app that you can download, put it on your phone, and then go through the settings to make it do a number of different things or if you want it to just be a solid color, whatever. There's over 120 different options I want to say on the app. And there's probably more that you can do with it, but I didn't really want to deep dive into that. It does more than I need. But that's pretty much it, guys. I merely just wanted to share a product that I purchased with all of you because I feel like there are those of you out there that would also like something like this. Like I said, one, the price is very reasonable and two, the install is very simple. If you would like to get your own set, I will put links in the video description down below.
