Title: Coin Door lights, +5 or +12 v?
Post by: Hawk Daddy on September 05, 2007, 01:11:17 am

I have never rewired a cab from scratch like I did with my multicade, and that i'm almost finished I need to know what type of power to wire to the coin door lights, also is that the same forthe coin mechs them selves as they are also powered, they are the originals from a millipede.

Or you can use 5v if you go with LED's instead of bulbs - which is a good idea... They last longer, and don't produce any heat.

It also depends on the bulbs you use.  If you use 555 bulbs, for example, those are 6V bulbs.  194 bulbs would be 14V.  Both these bulbs fit in the same holder.

I do have the leds, that I got from dive master, they went right in there and worked fine, should I change the voltage on them and bump it down to 5v?
