Jerry,
I have used the USA figures also with good results.
Those table lights can drive you crazy!
On my four heavyweights the lights had all gone out. This was because of the brass contacts between the three floor sections simply loose continuity, After I went through and soldered these contacts from the bottom, the roof lights worked, but not the table lamps when testing it with a 12 volt battery (down at ~10 volts). So I ripped out the guts and floors trying to figure out why the table lamps would not come on. When I pulled the floors I noted that the 8 LEDs are wired in series, so with ~10 volts each LED got ~1.25 volts and this just wasn't enough to get them to light. I put a power pack to the leads and sure enough, when the appropriate voltage was reached, the table LEDs came on just fine.
