I actually dug one out of my rummel box last week. Just as I remember, thin tangly flex, fragile plug and overdriven bulb - they ran hot and hard and blew quickly. Replacement 12V bulbs were very yellow as they were meant for car use and hundreds of hours of run time. The original bulbs have no ratings - they are probably 6 Volts.
