| Coin Door Light Wiring Question |
| (1/1) |
| codeena:
Hi all, I'd like to extend wires from my coin door lights' to my pc's molex cables that will power the lights. Can I just splice and use a PC power cord's wires to use as an extension, or would this be dangerous (different gauge, etc.)? Does it matter which of the 3 wires I use, if it's okay? Thanks in advance! |

What voltage are your lights? You can bring 5v or 12v from your power supply (red or yellow wires respectively) easily. So you pick a color, and the black is your ground. |

Hi Aurich, thanks for the reply. The 12v lights to work fine connected to the pc, but need to extend the wires from the lights to the pc. So I was wondering if a pc power cable would serve well as the extension wires. |

I think just some standard 18 or so gauge wire and some wire connectors should be all you need. |
