Hey guys. I'm totally new here, and got most of my information for my new MAME cabinet by lurking here. I am now at a point where I'm too confused not to post.
For anyone that cares, I got an old Street Fighter 3 cab (the guy removed the game) for $350. Considering it has a working 25" standard res monitor, I thought that was a decent deal. (The only thing that sucks is I didn't realize until I got home the glass on the monitor is fairly heavily scratched, making playing games on it with flat colors/graphics very annoying as it gets a prism effect). Anyway, I am going to use MaLa and I bought a LED-Wiz because I heard I can have only the buttons the game uses light up. That sounds amazingly awesome to me.
I already bought my LED-Wiz, but the whole LED thing confuses me to death. I work for an electrical supply company and I would get LEDs at a big discount, so I'd rather go through my job, however in the gigantic book of 20,000 LEDs to choose from, I can't figure out exactly what type to pick out. I see tons of options like the mcd, forward current, wave length, typical mcd, forward voltage, test current, I could go on and on. I want to get 6 blue, 6 red, 6 green, and 6 yellow and use them all in my Happ translucents of the same color scheme. If someone could just help me out with that, I'd greatly appreciate it.
