| Marquee lighting -- how bright of a light do I need? |

I was wondering how bright of a light I should use behind my marquee. I bought a GE regular white fluorescent light, 25 inches wide with 725 lumens. Is this good enough or is it too bright, or not bright enough? |

I have a 24 inch long 20W sylvannia (cool white) florescent behind my marquee and I'd say it's just about perfect. My marquee area is 27.5 inches X 7.5 inches. |

Just prop it up and turn it on. Too bright, keep your receipt and exchange it. I myself bought the cheapest $5 including bulb fixture I could find at walmart in a half-opened crushed package and it worked perfectly. |

Depends on the size of the marquee, but most commercial arcade games and Jamma/AMOA compliant cabinets use an F15T8CW fluorescent lamp. |

Well, mine is 33 watts... That should be fine I guess? |
