Just to make sure I understood that correctly, Mame hooker is required, you can’t just you LED Blinky and standard MAME?

Anyone who comes to my arcade room can rub the cones all they want. I have a few games that use them.

Sorry my phrasing wasn't clear.
You can use Mamehooker or LEDBlinky or LEDWiz or RGBCommander or some other software app to convert the MAME outputs into LED controller commands.
From the LEDBlinky homepage:
--- Quote ---Flash start buttons when credits are available - this is a MAME only game dependent feature.

- Remember to set MAME outputs to "windows" in mame.ini so your software can see them.

- Definitely avoid using MAME 0.170 thru 0.175. MAME 0.188 or newer should be fine.
--- Quote from: arzoo on August 05, 2016, 03:56:47 pm ---As of mame .170 the output system is broken and LEDBlinky can't detect any mame output events. A patch has been submitted and implemented as of .176 but the interface library (between LEDBlinky and mame) is still in the process of getting updated.

It should now be usable in a similar way to the legacy Windows window message passing. The changes are in Github top of tree now and will ship in 0.188.

EDIT: Clarified which versions of MAME to avoid/use.
