Christmas LED lights - Arcade applications?

Pages: (1/4) > >>

More Cowbell:

I picked up a ton of cool LED lights at $2.50 per strand of 100. While they don't look great on the house (too cold looking), I'm thinking they could be used in arcade cabs. Would they work if wired up to 5v or 12v? I'm thinking they are a cheap alternative to buying bulbs one at a time.

ChadTower:


Depends on the LED type and what resistors if any are on them...

...now is also a good time to pick up tons of stuff like remote control power outlets and wall wart friendly power strips since so many stores carry them as seasonal items.

More importantly, if you have the correct resistors on them, then you probably can connect then up to the LED-Wiz by GGG .... correct?

I would think the best time to buy power strips and stuff would be right after Christmas ...... but I guess then you are gambling whether the stores have any left or not ....

ChadTower:


Least expensive time, definitely, but you'll find a much smaller selection of course.

Ha ... I was editing my post when you posted ......
