Where to tap into 12v DC on a TAF?

[Pharoah007]

Want to add a small section of led strip lights (12v) to my TAF.

"Always on" 12v works, however, if there is a "switched" 12v source that will allow the lights to come on and off with the lightshows...that would be way cooler.

Any ideas?

That's what I used to drive some led strips on my WH20 before

WH20 Mountain Light Up Mod

Went to pick up lunch yesterday and noticed an LED store on Denison so I pulled in to check it out because I am looking for a 1-2m RGB LED strip for the bottom of my pinmame cab so I can have it illuminate the bottom of the cab different colors depending on the game selected. They had them but...

Thanks man. Coin door is a bit far from where I need the led strip.

Any candidates in the back box?

In the manual I see the following..

Can either gray/green or Grey/yellow be used? Also what's the difference between switched and analog 12 VDC?

I also see some in other +12vdc here...

I just want to be 100% sure before I hook up an LED strip to a random 12 volt, last thing I want to do is blow up one of my pcbs for Christmas

Go check my thread and you will see I am pulling power from J116 on power driver board in head

Follow up question...what happens if I hook a 12vdc led strip to a 6.3vac G.I. circuit? Do I get free fire or smoke?

I would prefer to have this 12vdc led strip work with the games lights how, vice always on.
