Why SMD Retro Bulbs Exist (and Why We Switched)

Over the years, many pinball operators and collectors relied on 1-LED and 2-LED bulbs. While affordable, these styles often fell short in longevity, especially in:

• General illumination

• Games on location

• Machines played heavily or left powered on for long periods

Because of this, Pinball Medics has discontinued older LED styles and moved fully to SMD-style bulbs from Comet LEDs.

SMD Retro bulbs:

• Last significantly longer

• Handle heat and vibration better

• Maintain consistent brightness over time

• Cost more upfront, but dramatically reduce lifetime replacement costs

Simply put: fewer bulb changes, less downtime, better-looking games.

Limited Colors – Expanding Based on Demand

We currently stock a curated selection of SMD Retro bulb colors and styles, chosen specifically for real-world pinball use. If there’s a color or variant you’d like us to carry, reach out. We expand inventory based on what Canadian collectors and operators actually need.
