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 think it came out great.  I also have the option of adding 2 more rotators or flashing lights in the future if I want to totally go blind playing!   rotflmao
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.

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!!   rotflmao
