161 bulbs

Pages: (1/3) > >>

paigeoliver:

Two questions.

What voltage do 161 bulbs use?

And, if they are 5 or 6 volt, then will a keywhiz have enough juice to power 10 of them, or should I pull power directly from the PC power supply?

_Iz-:

They're 14 volts...

paigeoliver:

Ok, in that case I guess it will be either 12 volts from the PC power supply.

Or?

Could I wire them in series off 120VAC house current, ten in a series should drop the voltage down to 12, which is under 14. But are some bulbs DC power only?

Scottzilla:

That should work fine.  That's pretty much how christmas lights work...

Rocky:

161 bulbs are DC.  Use 12v from your power supply (arcade or computer).  I don't think they would work with AC current.
