      Solar cell controlled mooring light with various bulb types.

The anchor light by Davis Mini Amp Mega Light  comes with two bulbs ( low power and higher power)
14.4V .100A  #  1813 lamp    my filament broke when I dropped the assembly after 5 months of use.
14.4V .240A  #  1891 lamp   the 2nd night I used it the light sensing control system failed in the
                                          off state.

Note:  a 14.4V .330A  # 1816 is readily available at auto parts houses.
         a 14.4V .200A  # 1815 lamp may be a reasonable sub for the 1891

I loved the anchor lamp when it worked with the .100 A lamp that only draws about .075 at 11V.
The auto parts house will special order the 1813 but I need to buy ten at a time
roughly $19.00.   I guess I'll buy ten next spring and leave the energy efficient mooring lamp on 24/7

I also bought an Intermatic Inc. Model LZ 10131 Garden lamp with built in solar panel, 1.2Volt/700mAh  battery, but it did not give out much light.   click here for pictures.

In the winter of 09' I learned about Malibu's solar collector for 8 LED's (three batteries) and built in controller.  All 8 LED's run off of the 3.75 Volt battery combo. click here for pictures of the adaptation.  visible more than one mile.  Click here for the pictures.
High quality solar lamp for marker buoys.
