Title: Re purposing my CS-64
Post by: shredman on August 13, 2012, 04:57:02 pm
I want to set my Cavalier CS-64 up so that whenever the machine is plugged in the refrigerator and both lights(Have a Coke and Use Exact Change Only) are ON.  Is there any concern with the lights always being on?  Melt things?  Too hot?  The big Have a Coke sign is fluorescent and the Use Exact Change Only is a 7 or 8 watt bulb, but I replaced it with a 4 watt.  Thoughts?  Suggestions?  I'm open to anything you guys have to say on the matter.....and thanks.

They make some LED candelabra base bulbs that might work better for that, basically no heat at all, but not a ton of light output (not that you need much).  You can find them at any of the big box home improvement stores.

i haven't had any heat issues with the lights on my USS64. I think mine use the higher watt flourescents.
