Peter,
they were (or were very similar to) the hella oval amber ones, hella part#96255 --
see
page 616 in w. marine 2001 catalog, or better yet, try this link
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/commerce/command/ProductDisplay?prmenbr=201&prrfnbr=65007&store_num=9&store_name=Electrical&subdept_num=483&subdept_name=Interior%20Lighting&class_num=485&class_name=Incandescent%20Lights&outlet=
between the 3 of them, they only draw 180 ma, so they'd draw less and 1 amp over 5
hours
which essentially means if you have a battery on board at all, you could run them more
than
you'd ever need to. I also got one of those solar panels (again from west marine) at
the
boat show recently -- the ones that just clip onto your battery -- i think it
generates 300
ma in bright sun. Seems to do an excellant job although i haven't cruised with it yet.
