    Love it! Do they run warm?? I had used some from a few years ago and they burned out rather quickly I think from heat.

    That looks really good! Do they change colors/flash? What is their behavior other than light up??

    These are 12V so can be easily tied in to come on when you turn your game on.

    Quoted from mwong168:

    I'm assuming they run on DC right? I have two or three of these from an old computer build I did awhile ago and would love to do this.

    I heard the coin door is the best place to tie into 12vDC. Does that sound right?

    Yes..It would be interesting to know how you have this wired

    #9 11 years ago

    Oh, man. I want to wire a few of these to some flashers so hard!

    Yes, they're DC voltage.

    #10 11 years ago

    Are there any tutorials/resources to learn how to "tie into" voltage? That's one of those things I've wanted to learn but never had an opportunity to yet.

    #11 11 years ago

    Mine are just remote controlled...turn them on or off when I want...simple

    I know for B/W games you can piggy back connector off the J116 connector to power an LED strip like this on my Flintstones. I believe this is unused 12V circuit and someone posted on another forum that it is meant to be used for a bill validator.
