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.
