Default Current draw Vans lighted instrument gauges...

I have several of the Vans lighted instrument gauges. e.g. fuel pressure, fuel level, etc. I would like to put the instrument lights on a single circuit. I can't find the spec for the current draw for the light in the instrument. Does anyone know offhand what the current draw would be?

Thanks,
Michael-

Michael,

The draw is .2 and I you can put 1.5 on a dimmer.
that means you can put 7 on one unit.
I used a DBus field of grounds for mine and worked great.
In Bob N electronic book.

Hope it helps.
