Heathkit GC-1195 Grandfather Clock redesign the numeral segments

1. Are there any reliable LED upgrade kits for the numeral segments?  I have red reviews that report problems with existing 
kits.  
2.  OR What is the correct wattage for the miniature lamps supplied with the original kit?

I am an Electrical Engineer and have successfully built many heath kits.  If I know the electrical load presented by the original mini-lamps, perhaps I can design an LED equivalent.

Thanx.

Hello,

The power supply voltage of the miniature lamps is 5V,dimmed by LDR1,so you can calculate the series resistors of the LED display.

Good luck to modification!
