Title: High Speed Pinball Lightbar Project Post by: Fourbyracer on August 26, 2013, 02:42:45 AM Well I finally found the lightbar I wanted (same as the first firetruck I ever rode on), in the shortened size that I needed for the pinball back box. I always thought the original was a little inadequate. So I installed a new power supply just for the lightbar and put a relay in that coverts the power to 12 volt, and here is the result.

I also have the option of adding 2 more rotators or flashing lights in the future if I want to totally go blind playing! :72- Also want to change one side of the bar to blue to better match the theme of a Police chase. Here is the lightbar as I started with. Title: Re: High Speed Pinball Lightbar Project Post by: Styx on August 26, 2013, 06:13:13 AM That is awesome!

I want one for my slot machine. lol Ron (r273) It would actually be dooable Ron as far as I can see. Everything was added to the pinball so it is no draw on the original wiring or power. All that was used was the the 2 original power and ground wires. Those wires are now used to activate the relay. So I would think you could do the same thing and wire it to the candle. Whatever the candle did, the lightbar would do. I say wire it to the change light on the candle and then turn the lightbar on whenever you feel like it!! :72- |
