The Eiko 161 automotive lamp operates at 14 volts and 0.19 amps. The T3-1/4 bulb has a miniature wedge base that is plated with nickel to increase long term reliability. This automotive lamp has an impressive life rating of 4,000 hours and is typically used as a side marker light in domestic cars. Just a add I seen don't know anything about that brand but would think most would be close to the same.
