Title: Convert cabinet fluorescent light to computer power supply?
Post by: cmoses on January 09, 2009, 11:34:51 am
My cabinet has a fluorescent light to illuminate the marquee with, but it was hooked directly into the old arcade power supply.  It used 3 wires, I think they were green, green with a yellow strip and maybe black.  I would have to look to verify.  Is there a way to hook this up to a computer power supply in order to use it or do I need to get a new one with a true A/C power cord?

Edited - meant fluorescent not neon

I think your best bet is to replace it. It was prolly fluorescent not neon.

It was AC and just connected to the AC in on the power supply. You can run those 3 wires to a plug and just plug it into a power bar.
