Goofy? They add character! I put in #90 bulbs, they're not too bright.

Here’s a pic of the 90 bulb, it has a dual contact base and one filament.

And here’s a pic of the 1178 bulb that was originally in it, I thought it was too bright.

Edit: Jerry, I’m afraid I got things backwards! The #90 bulb is brighter than the #1178. I just checked and that’s what I have in there now, the #1178’s. Sorry about that, the memory’s going.

Here's a list of the candle powers:

1178 - 4CP
68 - 4CP
90 - 6CP
