Coin Door Light Question
« on: October 21, 2004, 09:39:03 pm »
I want to hook up my Happ coin door lights up to my computer's power supply 12V

The lights that are installed are C161.  They are 14V lights with a wedge base.  Will these work fine on 12V or is there a better choice of lightbulb that will fit these holders?


Thanks for all the help

I have used the 12 volts from my PC PSU and they work just fine. The extra 2 volts wouldn't make a noticable difference, infact the globes would probably last a little longer on 12 volts

I used 161 14v bulbs with no problems. Here's the article and video:

(Sheesh, does every answer of mine have to have an accompanying article and video?  ;))
