Marquee Lights not working (non mame)
« on: July 01, 2004, 02:34:37 pm »
I have my PacMan machine going now, so I wanted to wire the marquee lights (original)  up to the switching power supply. I wired them to the 12V. Nothing happened. I tested the terminals on the light fixtures and they all read 12V.

Do I need a special bulb?

Is it supposed to be AC current?

Whats the problem?

Original Pacman light circuit wiring was plain old 120 volts AC and used 25 watts (or less) sized house light bulbs.
