Sorry i know it has nothing to do with arcade etc. but didn't know where else i could ask it (klov has a slot forum but i can't post there, although i have registered there) and because i think there are members here who not only have arcade or pinball machines but also 1 or more slotmachines in their gameroom. Plus it's electronics and there are a few here with much knowledge in this erea.
My question. A friend has bought a toplight

How do you change the lightbulb? (how to open this case. There are no screws)
What are those wires for (12V or 24V or ??). How to connect it to let it work?
(flat grey and the green under the screw are groundwires i think, but the small black, red or the other green, black or white one?)

Any info or where to find more info is apreciated

That would be a nice decoration in any game room.
I'm pretty sure this should be connected onto a small dedicated electronic boards for 'patterns' lightening. So I'm afraid for you it's not only a voltage to find on a specific wire ... :-\
Good luck for this cool project anyway.

After a good inspection and a few minutes of fustration and pushing and pulling finally the thing opened up.
Very simple now that i know how ;D

Just pull up the hendel ALL the way up to release the frontplate, although it doesn't look like a hendel

The wires black, white and green are the powercable wires. Black and white are the same as in The Netherlands brown and blue wire. The green is the same as the green/yellow, the ground wire.
So put a powerplug on those and voila the lightbulb goes on.
The led lamps however is conectted to what DarthNuno said a electronic board which houses in a black box. From there leads a black and red wire and the green which is a ground. Have no idea what voltage so just pluged red in a 5V plug of a computer power supply and poef a smell and probably fried the board :(

How do you know what the needed voltage is? Is it somehow measurable? Nowhere is it written, not on the case, not on the board.
