Automotive Miniature Bulb BA15s
The GE 25836 is a 9 W miniature incandescent bulb designed for 13.5 V automotive circuits. Its BA15s single-contact bayonet base fits sockets that accept a #97 lamp. Rated life is 5000 hours under normal vehicle electrical conditions.
Voltage and Base Constraints
Operation at voltages above 13.5 V reduces filament life and increases current draw beyond the 9 W rating. The BA15s base provides only one contact, so the bulb cannot serve dual-filament functions such as combined brake and tail lighting.
Highlights
- 9 W draw keeps vehicle charging load low
- 5 V rating matches standard automotive systems
- BA15s single-contact bayonet fits common sockets
- 5 000 hour rated life reduces replacement frequency
