Sealed beam vs. bulb

Does a headlight sealed beam draw any more or less current than the stock bulb?

it all depends on the bulb number what sealed beam? what Lucas number? 12volt or
volt? Can you believe Woodstock was 40years ago? The Chicago Convention was 41 years ago?

Hi Red1959, as KADUTZ said, it all depends on the wattage,
if they are both fifty watt they burn fifty watt.
The sealed beam will stay the brightest the longest
as the reflector will always be in pristine condition,
while the bulb type reflector will deteriorate with oxidation and condensation.
