Ushio BC2616 Healthcare Medical Scientific Light Bulb

The Ushio BC2616 is a specialty light bulb purpose-built for healthcare, medical, and scientific instruments that require a 6-volt, 15-watt light source with a specific plastic base. This is not a general-purpose bulb — it is designed to slot into particular equipment sockets where the base geometry, voltage, and output characteristics must meet precise OEM specifications. The clear T8 glass envelope allows the full 180 lumens to pass through without diffusion, which is essential in applications where focused, unscattered light is needed for accurate observation or measurement.

With an average rated life of 200 hours, the BC2616 is built for duty cycles typical of diagnostic and laboratory instruments rather than continuous illumination. Its 6-volt operating voltage means it draws power from the equipment's own regulated supply, ensuring stable light output regardless of fluctuations in mains power. For facilities and technicians maintaining compatible equipment, the BC2616 is a direct-fit replacement that preserves the light quality the instrument was designed around.
