The Norman Lamps 1460X is an 18W incandescent S8 miniature bulb engineered for precision medical, scientific, and optical instrumentation. Operating at 6.5V with a current draw of 2.75A, this incandescent lamp delivers 23 MSCP of light output and is purpose-built to meet the exact illumination demands of microscopes, ophthalmoscopes, and illuminator assemblies used in clinical and laboratory environments.

The 1460X designation carries an "X" suffix signifying a precision-controlled filament position, which is essential for achieving optimum optical performance in the equipment it is designed for. The C-6 filament construction and Double Contact Pre-Focus (P15d) base work together to ensure accurate, repeatable light placement at the focal point of the instrument's optical system — a requirement that standard general-purpose incandescent bulbs cannot reliably meet.

This NLI-USA exclusive medical incandescent bulb is compatible with equipment from American Optical Reichert (AO-579 Illuminator), Bausch and Lomb (Microscope Illuminator 31-35-30), Leica (13410311), and Reichert 650 instruments, among others. Its clear S8 glass envelope measures 2.00 in. in length and 1.04 in. in diameter, with a Light Center Length (LCL) of 1.25 in. to facilitate proper positioning within instrument housings. Rated for 100 life hours of service, this bulb is sold individually.
