No ghosting. Every lamp checked at power-on.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've converted your WPC machine's playfield inserts to LEDs, you've probably seen the problem. The original electronics were designed for filament bulbs. A filament glows on and fades off; an LED snaps on and off in an instant, so flashing inserts look harsh. Depending on your power driver board and the LEDs you've fitted, LEDs can also ghost: a faint glow from lamps that should be off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAurora Matrix fixes this. It bypasses the original lamp matrix drivers and drives all 64 lamps itself, 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 Matrix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilament-like ramps.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every LED ramps on and off smoothly, the way a filament bulb does.
