coin door lights?!

(1/1)

_JMFR:
im doing the final touches to a 60-1 jamma arcade cab i built. im having trouble wiring the coin door lights. how many volts do the lights need to operate? a guy on klov told me +9 and a ground, and the lights were so dim you could barely notice it through the plastic button. i accidently touched the wire to a + 12 volt with the + 9 still connected and it lit up real nice. Should i wire it up with 12 volts? any input?

mrclean:
it depends on the bulb, most jamma stuff is 12volts for the coin door.

RayB:
yeah, what bulbs are you using?

12v is recommended because your game board depends on the +5v to run, so its best not to put any extra load (especially something that can burn out and affect the voltage).
