I refer to the twist-in types where you reach behind the instrument and
twist the thing in and out (if you have small hands and gymnast body).
I believed B8.5D was most common type, with a T5 wedge bulb in it.
Nowadays it probably has a LED that is not removable.
Anyway, I see some catalogues also list "BX8.5D" bulbs that are similar.
What is the difference.

You got me curious about this so I downloaded the OSRAM data sheets.

B8.5d, jet black, 1.17g, thickness of PCB 1.6mm.
BX8.5d, light blue, 1.16g, thickness of PCB 1.25mm.
All else is the same.
