The number will be stamped onto the bayonet base of the lamp. j I'd
guess 28V, but maybe not. Look in the manual and see what low V+ is.
That's what it is in the Titans. It's always a good idea to add a
couple of diodes in series with the lamps to reduce their operating
voltage, which increases their life. I also try to use long life bulbs
when I can find them.
