Ralph, LED's use low amounts of electricity, they are
"low draw" as they say. i use a "10 candella" power
LED for a map light using a 220 OHM resister and an
on/off switch. i mounted the LED overhead next to my
rear view mirror pointed down to the right of my lap
area. It is a stealth installation and it takes up no
room, which is nice! I just installed another one in
my rear closet last week.
