Hey guys,
I have some red wedge LED bulbs in my High Roller Casino, but they seem awfully dim. What’s the voltage spec for Stern coin door bulbs?
Thanks,
Jason

6.3 volt incandescent bulbs like #44, #47 and #555 are used on most machines.they come in two shapes.
the #159 bulb is also 6.3 volt at .15amp.
Quoted from Shogun00:Can you post a picture of the inside of the coin door? It might be the same as what my Robocop had.
Here ya go!

There are a few ways to resolve this.
Use a bulb that has 4 LEDs on it. These are super bright, which pushes more light through that hole.

Use a LED flex bulb, so you can get the light properly aimed into the hole.

Buy a retro LED bullet bulb. They look just like a traditional incandescent bulb and fit through that hole perfectly. This is what I did with my Robocop.

No problem! Here are a couple of photos of the LED bullet bulb in my machine. I went with the clear lens natural white.
