I'm using the same motors as ejeschke...they are awesome. I pulled the stockers out of my Mytee, which had just one cord and 2 of the small 2 stage Lamb motors.
I put on a second cord to accommodate the extra draw, they each pull about 13.4 amps. It's a 2 stage motor with the tapered fan blades rated at 129" lift, 131 cfm, and 604 air watts.
I can't comment on the claim they will last from 800-1000 hours, but so far they've been great. And they were only $100 each, brand new.
Their seems to be two versions of these motors with the same numbers. The one that puts out 129" lift and 131 CFM is actually listed as 15.5 amps which would leave no room for a pump. The other one that is 13.4 amps has much lower specs at 108" lift and 112 CFM.

Then there is a third option private labeled for lighthouse, the LH3720-120 which gives the higher specs with the 13.4 amps.
Which one has the right numbers?
Yeah Bill, I have the bigger of the two.
As for the draw...can't say for sure, I will say they do suck a good amount of juice. Definitely put them on their own cord, and if you share one with a pump, make sure it's a small pump. Every so often I'll pop a breaker, usually in the ghetto homes with low power.
You can tell the difference right away between the two different 2 stage Domel's on the market. The bigger one, like I have, has the tapered fans. You can tell by looking at the bottom, there will be a taper to it. The standard one will be totally flat.
The input power of the standard version is about 1507 watts, that's the one Greenie's talking about. That one goes head to head against the Lamb 116472 with the flat bottom. I use the model 4913720, it's rated at an input of 1802 watts, and has the tapered fan blades.
I don't know why Domel's website doesn't have my motor on it, I know it's fairly new to them, maybe they just haven't updated the website for their american products yet.
As far as the Lighthouse version goes, that's basically just their own assembled copycat version of it.
