there are many ways to go about it, i personally like to keep things as compact and integrated as possible. with the P90 hopup, i dont think there will be any delay on lighting the BBs as there is enough room on the hop unit to install the LEDs ahead of the loading nozzle.

whether or not there is a delay on the tracers being lit, all depends on how much room you got to work with. the only reason why the first shot or two don't light up, is not because the LEDs are not on when they are being loaded, it's due to the location of the LEDs relative to the loading nozzle. take the ACR and my HK416 as an example. there is no room on the hopup housing to install the 5mm LEDs, so they were mounted on the vertical feed tube instead. so instead of lighting the BB thats next to be loaded and shot it lights up the second in line. so it doesn't matter how you wire up the LED, it's all about location.
