I have a Happ trackball that I lit, and I also lit the 3 colored coinslots on my coindoor.

I powered them with an old CPU FAN that conected to the hard drive's power cable.
I cut the fan portion off and stripped the wires. The CPU fan ran on 12 volts.

You can buy lamps for any lampholder for either 5v or 12v at Radioshack. (They are listed as 6.4 and 14.4 volts)


The 12 Volt, .12 amp lamp seems to be a good brightness.

Just wire them in parallel.
