anyone know it putting led lights in the backlit reels of an s2000 will work, without causing damage. or would it require a different controller??

You can do it, but I do not really recommend it. no For the most part you end up getting a spotlight look right in the middle of the symbol, and it looks like crap. Duh! Someone else may have had better luck? Scratch Head I have seen the IGT factory LED reels (it does not have bulbs, but rather a PCB with surface mount LEDs) and they do look really nice, but you need a different controller unless you have the backlit controller that does incandescent and LED, plus you need a new reel shelf for your new reels as well!  money money money

I haven't tried it yet in my machine but I'd like to throw a question out into the pool...
Has anyone tried these WLEDs ?
These are supposed to be "Wide-Angled-LEDs" of about 75 to 130 degrees of angle?
They sort of look like these but of the proper voltage.

If I remember correctly you then get 4 or 5 distinct spotlights!!! Silly Me! bawling hissy fit The original XE359 Xenon bulb is the way to go unfortunately. Also if you are not using the XE359, you will have a dimmer backlit look. (I think some people try to use 658s) Unfortunately it is disappointing trying to use LED bulbs for backlighting, but you never know maybe someone found a LED that works great and will post pictures. I am looking for my spotlight picture so you can see how bad it looks with the LED installed.

I put an LED bulb in one reel on my double diamond and it immediately wrecked my control board to where the bulb wouldn't turn off at all even after switching back to zenon bulbs. The" test" cost me $30 for a new board. They have controllers for led backlight reels. When I converted my Cleo I got the controller from Jim at Blueridge

Heres the link to AG&E, they have them for 0.89 each.  If somebody has account for them and wants to do a group buy, I am in for 30 of them!  applause

The only other place that I have found them near this price is the dreaded Happs... slap

So you're telling me in all these years that XE359 bulbs have been on the market nobody has made a suitable LED replacement for them? Or is XE359 a specific (gas filled) name for a generic bulb size?

Yes...it's REALLY THAT bad... rotflmao
However,
You can avoid the surprises if you:
1] Get your online order ready on your computer in front of you.
2] Call the 1-800 number and get a hold of a cute shipping clerk.
3] Tell her you're ready to place an order but you want to know exactly what it costs.
4] If she gives you an "Expedited Shipping" amount -
    DENY it like a vendor selling you a machine from the south
    that was part of the Hurricane Katrina disaster!!!!
5] Ask for the slow-boat-from-china way and get a total.....

Drumroll.......................>>>   Voila! No surprise shipping!


                      BUT!

If you don't proceed in this manner........ you better have the bankroll of a casino....   Cry Laughing

Don't forget to make sure to tell them that you want everything sent in ONE shipment. They have a habit of splitting orders and multiplying the shipping.

LED conversion is the way to go. I converted my Cleo and they look awesome when lit and go completely out when not needed:)

I just went into Digi-key and pretended I was ordering 100 bulbs and shipping via USPS was $5.15 to the west coast.

The ND is just something that DigiKey routinely adds to their part numbers, and I am not sure what it stands for...
BUT here at NLG, ND stands for NEVER DULL!!!! Cry Laughing
