    Does anyone know what the amperage rating is for Miniatronics 1.5 volt grain of wheat bulbs?
    I'm installing decoders in some engines with these lamps and needed to calculate the correct resistors to use.
    I just guessed 25ma but wasn't real sure.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    15mA sticks in my mind for these. A quick search found only one reference outside of Miniatronics, and that was 15mA.
    Miniatronics claim 30mA for similar 1.5v globes
