Tron cabinet lighting
« on: January 06, 2014, 02:37:25 pm »
I'm building a tron original design cab, and I need some help with the lighting

There are 4 lights in this machine, I am not using the original power brick, it will be normal a/c, does anyone what voltage and amps I need in the cabinet to get power to the lights properly?

I can't answer your question but would love to see some pics.  Sounds like a cool project.

Hm, don't you need to specify what kind of lights you are going to use before you ask how to power them? It's like asking "I have a new car, what kind of fuel shall I use for it?" :)
Or shall we assume that you have the original lighting parts? Then the data asked for should be in the manual I assume.

I.e. some standard and black light 18" fluorescent light tubes.

Thank you!
