GGG's NovaMatrix marquee light
Jeff AMN:
I'm thinking of using one of these to replace my dead fluorescent tube in my candy cab. Since these use different power than the old light, what would be the best/easiest method for powering it?

If you've put in a PC, the easiest thing would be to select the newly added power splitter cable option to connect to one of your power supply's drive power cables and then just run some wires between the two.
If you have original game boards, you'll need to take a look at your power supply to see if a decent 12v DC (regulated) supply is available. If so, then you are in luck. Otherwise, you'll be in the market for a regulated 12v wall wart with at least 400ma output. If you plan on running more than one NovaMatrix™, you'll need to multiply that 400ma by the number you use.

So....connect a couple to an LED-Wiz and set the brightness to what ever you want ;D (anyone wishing to do this should use only 1 unit per output, disconnect the USB 5v jumper and not connect the positive side of the power to the LED-Wiz..email for details.)
But in reality, if your current lights are too bright, you will probably find the NovaMatrix to be just the ticket in their normal state.

Jeff AMN:
I have an original Neo Geo 4-slot board in there. I'll check to see if I have an available source when I get back. Thanks, Randy.

Since we have the attention of both er... engineers. (What am I supposed to call them ??? )
Is there any ultraviolet impact from these lights?
