Here you go! This is a basic splitter that will provide you with about 1.5 amps of power at 12v. To power uner-cabinet lighting see my post below.

If you are going to run under-cabinet lighting, it is recommended you use the Accessory Power Supply for SPIKE games as it will safely allow you to power these higher current mods.

Quoted from jorge5240:So which one? Also, If I buy the accessory power supply do I still need to buy specific under cab kit for spike or can I buy one for SAM? Thanks again, Mike
If you are wanting to run under cabinet lighting, get this one. The SAM one will not work in your game as there is no place to plug it in.

Quoted from Lermods:the Undercab light kit, at least the one we sell, runs off the 12v flasher circuits. I think the accessory board only gives you 12v so your lights will always be powered and not be interactive, but I'm not 100% on this. Spike flashers are 6v...I hate spike, makes modding a pain to deal with.
The under cabinet lighting needs a constant 12v power source to function. The accessory power supply board will supply this voltage at the needed amperage. The under cabinet lighting kits can still function along with flashers in the game by tapping off of the ground (signal) side of the flasher. I hope this makes sense.
Thanks,

Quoted from Schwaggs:Scott, have you tested and verified this works on Spike systems? They have fairly sensitive boards and tying a 12V powered LED circuit to the ground outputs of these boards might cause problems. The circuit may not be capable of sinking the amount of current needed for a 12V under cabinet kit. The spike boards may not operate by grounding the circuit like older games.
I have not tested this personally, but I agree that these node boards can be finicky when hooking up mods directly to them. I have seen people do it though. I would recommend reaching out to someone that makes these under-cabinet lighting kits to verify compatibility and functionality.
