161 bulbs
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.
