This is a question on LEDs and voltages in TAF (or probably any WPC-89 pin).
Some background:
When I bought my TAF it already had a PinballBulbs Ultimate LED Kit installed on it...every original bulb, and then some, converted to LED.
The translite on this game has a "Cousin IT" light-blocker on the back of it. I assume this is standard for this game. Normally, without illumination from behind, Cousin It is not visible on the translite until a GI light is shines through it and then his "shadow" shows up in the upper-left mansion window.
I thought to myself, "hmm, this is curious, why is it like that?, why didn't they just add Cousin It to the translite like every other character if he's always going to be visible when the game is on anyway?"
So I got to thinking, why not make his shadow show up in certain circumstances? I did some poking around in the machine and found it would be pretty easy to remove Cousin It's translite bulb from the GI strand and instead wire it to the Cousin It position in the lamp matrix (26). That way, Cousin It's shadow only shows up in the translite when the Cousin It playfield lamp is active too...so a tiny bit of dynamics in the translite.
On to my question...
But looking at the TAF manual, it appears the GI is 6.3 VAC and the lamp matrix is 18 VDC. So the LED that's currently in the translite for Cousin It would need to be replaced, I assume. But looking on PinballBulbs website for the appropriate 18 VDC bulb, they're not listed by voltage. However, each of their bulb descriptions say "Great for replacing GI lighting, under plastics and anywhere you want bright light that is not super direct."
Does this mean these LEDs can be used across multiple voltages, and both AC and DC? It seems I'm missing a very basic concept on the differences between these pinball LEDs vs. regular incandescent bulbs. Would the LED GI bulb I already have in there work in the lamp matrix?
Thanks!
