I found this: http://www.superbrightleds.com/BA9S6_specs.htm looks like they sell LEDs which are compatible with this older bayonet style socket...hmmm... wondering if I should order those! |

A Type 44 Lamp is 6.3V, 250ma. Applying 12V is probably what burned them out! You need either a transformer that puts out 6V (or 6.3V) at 250MA, or if you want to use your 12V transformer, you need to change the wiring so that they are in series, not parallel. |

OK now I'm officially confused :) I wired my two coin door sockets using one circuit. So socket#1 ground and live) is wired to the PC molex. Socket#1 is also then wired to socket #2 (ground and livewire). I installed two 12v incandescent bulbs (purchased from an Auto store) today in this fashion. Both lit up and I left the machine on for an hour, no problems. Looked good. Did I do this correctly? Thank you again for help. |
