Snake:
The Lucas PL700 "Tripod" headlamps have removeable and replaceable lamp units. Thus, you can insert and install just about any wattage normal or halogen lamp unit into them.

So essentially, the answer is variable wattage, depending upon the lamp you install into them. I am running a high output PIA lamp that I had to bend one thin flange on the lamp in order to fit the rear orafice of the lens housing. The housing has a spring clamp that holds the lamp in. There is also a grey rubber gasket bootie or shield if you will, that fits over the lamp and lens assembly to keep moisture and water out.

The tripod holds a refelctor that shields the lamp and reflects the light from the lamp back onto the reflective lense mirror.

The non-original Tripods also have this type of arrangement as well. Finish Line sells these.

Mine have the small Lucas coat of arms inside the lense. Take a look at my gallery pics I think they may be pictorially represented there. If you double click on the picture in my gallery of the lamp it is there in high definition and will expand to a much much larger picture. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
