The Norman Lamps PFA-40A15CL230V is a 40W incandescent A15 appliance lamp rated for 230V operation, designed specifically for use in refrigerators, ovens, and other household or commercial appliances requiring a compact, durable light source. It features an E26 medium screw base for straightforward installation in standard appliance sockets and delivers a warm, clear light output through its clear glass envelope.

This incandescent lamp is coated with Norman Lamps' proprietary high-temperature Tuff-Coat PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) shatter resistant finish, which encapsulates the glass envelope in a transparent polymer film. If the bulb is broken due to impact, thermal shock, or end-of-life failure, the coating holds glass fragments together and prevents them from dispersing, significantly reducing the risk of glass contamination. The coating is optically clear and does not noticeably reduce light transmission or alter light quality.

The PFA-40A15CL230V carries an NSF listing, making it suitable for use in food service, food processing, food storage, and food preparation environments where shatter-resistant or shielded bulbs are required by FDA guidelines, HACCP protocols, and NSF standards. It is an appropriate choice for commercial kitchens, restaurants, cafeterias, food processing facilities, and any location where glass contamination from a broken lamp poses a safety or regulatory concern.

This incandescent A15 lamp measures 3.50 inches in length and 1.88 inches in diameter, and is rated for an average of 3,500 life hours. It is fully dimmable and is excluded from the U.S. Department of Energy General Service Incandescent Lamp (GSIL) definition as an appliance lamp, meaning it is available without restriction under current energy regulations. Each lamp is sold individually.
