HUH? An 1157 is a 12 volt automotive turn signal lamp. It's an S8
envelope and is over an inch across and runs 7 watts or so.

The lamp in a FR200 is a 5 mm long grain of wheat incandescent with
wire leads. There is some sort of circuit to drive it, because the lamp
is running on about 2.5 volts, with about 2 volts difference between
the the + side of the AA batteries. (The lamp runs on either/both the
AA cells and the rechargeable NiMH pack).

BTW, there's a spare lamp in there behind the pop off lamp holder, in a
little recess in the radio case.
