Keep the machine cool. Take control of your lighting.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've converted your WPC machine to LEDs, you've probably seen the problem. The original electronics were designed for filament bulbs, and they don't drive LEDs properly. LEDs can flash and strobe, brightness changes are abrupt, and the heat around the power driver board is hard on your connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAurora GI fixes this. It replaces the original GI string drivers and drives your LEDs correctly, and it plugs straight into the existing wiring. There's no soldering, no cutting and no modification to your machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy Aurora GI\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces the worn-out original GI circuit.\u003c\/strong\u003e The original GI drivers on the power driver board run hot, and after years of use the board and its GI connectors are often heat damaged. Aurora GI takes over the job completely. The GI wiring plugs into Aurora GI instead, so that part of the power driver board is left unpowered and unused. Fitting Aurora GI can cost less than having the damaged power driver board repaired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo more flashing.\u003c\/strong\u003e A new power supply drives the strings correctly, so your LEDs look steady and smooth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth, natural brightness changes.\u003c\/strong\u003e GI strings change brightness gradually from one level to the next, and you choose how quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeeps up with fast lighting effects.\u003c\/strong\u003e Adaptive ramping tells the difference between occasional GI changes and fast GI effects. Occasional changes stay smooth, while fast flashes and quick effects stay sharp, just as the game designers intended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDim the backbox during play.\u003c\/strong\u003e Set chosen strings to a brightness of your choice while a game is in progress.
