There are several bulbs which meet this specification, and as such are interchangeable:
Trade No. / Design / Volts / Watts / Amps / Avg. CP / Life
161 / 14.0 / 2.66 / 0.19 / 1 / 4000
158 / 14.0 / 3.36 / 0.24 / 2 / 3000

168 / 14.0 / 4.90 / 0.35 / 3 / 1500
To get brighter go with either the 192 or 168 bulbs.
