Good question.
Garbee had this (brief) list posted on his web site:

This is only good if you have the same clamshell type maplight as I have, also.
Here is a good chart of bulbs, voltages and wattages available commonly.

My bulb has two contact points on the base, and there are two springs in the base of the light. I have two of these and one had a single contact bulb in it- it contacted both springs which seems to me to be a direct short as the wires are attached to both springs (one each). The bulb that has two contacts (pic) has a single filament. This bulb came from MWM in the light.

Double contact, single filament should be 1254, 304 & 624 from dimmest to brightest.

I would go with the LED equivalent. I think this is it.
