The Norman Lamps N85 is a 28V, 1.12W incandescent miniature bulb built on the industry-standard #85 lamp platform. Operating at 40mA with a C-2F filament, this T1-3/4 glass wedge base lamp delivers 0.3 MSCP (approximately 3.77 lumens) of warm 2850K indicator light in an exceptionally compact tubular form measuring just 0.72 inches in length and 0.23 inches in diameter. The long-life incandescent design is rated for 25,000 life hours, far exceeding the standard 7,000-hour rating of conventional #85 lamps, making it well suited for installations where frequent relamping is impractical or costly.

The sub-miniature glass wedge base (W2.1x4.9d) provides a secure, tool-free snap-fit installation and is compatible with both North American and European wedge lamp sockets, giving this incandescent miniature bulb broad cross-market utility. Its 28V operating voltage is standard for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and aerospace-grade 28VDC electrical systems. Applications include lighted pushbutton switches, annunciator panels, control room displays, instrument panels, aviation cockpit indicators, medical equipment, elevator control systems, and other status-indication or panel-backlighting uses where a reliable, low-wattage incandescent source is required.

The N85 is a direct replacement for all standard #85 lamps across brands, including GE85, CML85, SYL85, Philips 85, and trade number 17137, among others. It is sold individually and is also available in 10-pack, 100-pack, 1,000-pack, 10,000-pack carton, and 20,000-pack master carton quantities to support OEM, maintenance, and facility stocking programs. For applications requiring an LED alternative at the same 28V wedge base footprint, see part number LED-85-WHITE.
