Compass light

[PabloPicasso]

I have a plastisol contest 101 compass. How much power does the compass light draw, and is it worth replacing with an LED? I've looked on line but can't see any reference to the bulb type or wattage

Next to nothing. Forget it.

About 40mA or 0.5W at 12V. They are called dashboard, indicator or panel bulbs if you are searching for them...

That's probably why I can never read the damned thing.
