Wiring; Split Coindoor and LED Marquee Wires...?
BobA:
If you got the power splitter from Randy and the LED marquee light you have to use 12V Usually a yellow and black wire at the computer end. Your coin door voltage depends on the lights you are using. If using LEDs like the article then the 12V will also work and it is wired in parallel with the marquee.

Thanks for the input so far, it's a great help. I'm pretty decent with wood, pretty solid with computers, but with wiring? My god, I'm a total dofus, haha.
With that said, yup, I got the marquee from Randy, thought I remember that being 12v... although it has red and black wires coming from it. And then I got the (I'm assuming Happ) coindoor LED's when I placed my order with Divemaster. I have a new over/under from Happ.
So if that's the case, then I just wire everything normally... so you guys think the coindoor LEDs are 5v and the marquee is 12v?
(Again, sorry I'm such a moron with this stuff, it's embarrassing asking these 101 questions.)

No, a standard happ coin door will have sockets for wedge base lamps not LED's fitted.
You can get 12V wedge lamps to fit that. It might come with them. They are the most common ones.
Then you have no problem. Just follow the second diagram I gave above.
The wires coming out of your PSU will be (usually) Yellow = +12V Black = -V Those are the ones you need. It should tell you on the side of the PSU what voltages are on which wire colour.
Don't worry about asking noob questions... If you're not an electrician how would you know. Everybody comes into this world knowing nothing. Better to ask the question and get it right first time than to screw your expensive equipment up.

Thanks Fozzy, this is a big help and I appreciate the understanding.
I actually wired my LED marquee today from the yellow and black wires from my power source splitter and was shocked that it actually worked! haha So I'm a little more confident for the LED coindoor lights.
Thanks for the diagram too... monster help!
