Ay 1.3 amps that seems a bit high for what is just a pilot lamp, it will still work of course but why tax the power transformer when you do not have to? I would see if you can find one with a lower current rating, or an LED substitute, as Dale mentioned the current rating isn't critical in a transformer set as in a series string, so going lower or slightly higher will still work.
