Coin Door LED's

[bent98]

I would like to replace the stock bulbs on my Happ Coin door(http://www.happcontrols.com/coindoors/40000800.htm)

with some super brights(http://www.superbrightleds.com/) question is which ones do I use and will they fit in the happ coin door sockets?

You are after a LED bulb with a T 1-3/4 base. Happ do LED replacements for them here or you can get from form superbrights from this page.

T13 Wedge Base LED bulb
12VDC 6-LED Wedge Base bulb
measure 1 1/8 long by 1/2 inch maximum diameter (194/168 type)
Available in White, Blue, Green, Red, Amber and UV-BlackLight LED
$ 1.99

91-10WB-123R 
 Red T 3-1/4 Cluster (3)  12 vdc #161, #194

But it says 161, 194 bulb size and superbright is 194/168


Happ has 4 cluster

I'm pretty sure the numbers are only to do with the main bulb bodys shape/size. They all have the same wedge base so they will all fit the bulb holder and there is plenty of room behind your coin inserts for the larger diameter bulbs

I used multicolor Led from superbright model # RL5-RGB-ACC. I just taped them behind the coin slots. They look great flashing and changing color. I am going to add one under my trackball in the future.


Just remember to follow polarity.

I also have a question about wiring the coin door with the IPAC does the switch need power? What do I connect to where?

[Franco]

Connect the bulbs to a 12v power supply (eg PC PSU). You could also control the lights by a LED WIZ etc but take note those bulbs have a built in resistor designed to work of 12v and the LED wiz supplies 5v so you would require a different lighting solution.

You don't connect the bulbs to your IPAC, you only connect the micro switches on the coin door which register coin drops.

I know how to wire the bulbs. I was talking about the micoswitch. There are 3 connectors on each switch. What do I connect where?

[Franco]

Ah, apologies.

The three contacts are ground (the one on the side), normally open and normally closed.

Most arcade coin mechs/buttons/joysticks etc use the normally open contact as when the button etc is pressed the circuit is completed.

Daisy chain both of the micro switches grounds and connect them to one of the ground terminals on the IPAC. Then connect a wire to each of the normally open terminals on the micro switches (dont daisy chain them) and run the separate wires to the Coin 1 and Coin 2 terminals on the IPAC.

So there is no power going to these switches. I wasnt sure if coin door return was mechinical or electric.

[Franco]

Its a mechanical switch that in turn completes an electrical circuit 

But no, its not like say a Coin Controls Sentinel coin mech that requires power.

I just made a wiring harness for my coin door led's & run it from my computer power supply
