TKK Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 So thanx to Cajun I decided to try this upgrade. I have some snack machines and a usi combo that I just cant get bulbs for. Even then you pay $9-$25 per bulb plus a starter. So im upgrading some to diy led lighting. Ill post some pics. 6 16feet ropes for $72 shipped with power inverters. These are the single led ones and even then they are bright as hell! Has a sticky side. I think it gives way more light and appeal.ill post pics tomorrow when I decide which ones I do. Shouldn't take more than 5 min a piece. I bought the dual led ones for my box trucks box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKK Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 My cousin bought the ones that plug in for $80 they arent even as bright, these actually light ALL the Machine and spreads the light. I showed them to him and he was pissed. He spent 430 for 5 and I spent 72 lol For 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry1973 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 i just put a 3 meter kit from ebay in a dn368 soda machine, and it does just fine. So far so good, and cheaper than just buying bulbs. Especially since no one carries the 64" t12 HO bulbs anymore around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojorhino Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I ordered 5 sets of those LED strips off ebay on Thanksgiving day for less than 50 bucks with no shipping! They should be here in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loach33 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Can you give a quick class on how to install these? I assume they plug in to existing wiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojorhino Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I just received my lights yesterday. There a lot smaller that I expected but I suspect that they should be easy install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog3632 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I bought some a while back but didn't realize I need something to power them. I thought I could wire in but now realize I need a converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spdydre Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 are you guys just splitting the wires to connect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKK Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Theres.some for 10 from Hong Kong. U have to.plug these.in to the wall for sure as I tried splicing into the.bulb source and they all burned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The existing wires are 120 volt LEDs can be 120 but yours were probably 12 volt You can splice the provided transformer into the wires though probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis2000 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just installed some of those EBay LED strip lights with the sticky back. I used the original plug going to the ballast and spliced in a 120V plug to plug the new LED transformer into. Seems to work. I really like the color changing effect, but will probably stick with just white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
