SATCO Lighting S38946 100W LED Hi-Lumen Temporary Hi-Bay Caged lamp, 5000K, Integrated Cord / Plug & Hook, 120V

It plugs in. The S38946 comes with an integrated cord and a 3-prong plug, so it runs off a standard 120V receptacle or a jobsite extension cord. There is no socket or fixture to mount it into, and no wiring. An integrated hook lets you hang it from joists, scaffolding, or temporary stringers.

No, not in the weather. The S38946 is rated for indoor use with a damp location rating, which covers things like an unconditioned warehouse, parking structure soffit, or a building shell under roof. It is not wet-location rated, so keep it out of direct rain and spray.

No. The S38946 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify for utility rebate programs that require DesignLights Consortium listing. It is a temporary construction light, not a permanent high-bay fixture. For a permanent warehouse retrofit chasing rebates, you want a DLC-listed high bay instead.

Each S38946 puts out 10,000 lumens at 5000K with a 300 degree beam spread, which is near-omnidirectional coverage rather than a tight downlight pattern. It replaces a 400W incandescent on light output. For general construction lighting, space them on a grid based on your required foot-candles and mounting height; the wide spread means spill between fixtures overlaps rather than leaving dark gaps.

No. The S38946 is non-dimmable, and it is not a three-way lamp either. Put it on a plain switched receptacle or straight to the cord drop. Running a non-dimmable LED on a dimmer causes flicker and shortens life.

It measures 10.9 inches in height and 5.12 inches in diameter (5.12 inches wide), and weighs 3.65 lb. That weight matters when you are hanging a run of them off temporary wire or light-gauge joist hangers, so size your hanging points accordingly. The steel cage and plastic housing make up the body.

5000K is daylight white, the usual choice for construction and shop work because it reads as bright and keeps detail crisp. CRI is 80, which is fine for general task and inspection lighting but below what you would want for color-critical finish work like paint matching. The color temperature is fixed, not selectable, so every unit on the job will match.

Average rated life is 50,000 hours. On a jobsite running 10 hours a day, that is well beyond the span of most projects, so these typically move from job to job rather than get replaced. The lens is frosted polystyrene behind a steel cage, which is what takes the abuse in transport.

The housing is orange and white, which is deliberate on a jobsite. High-visibility orange makes the unit easy to spot on temporary stringers and easy to inventory at breakdown, and it visually separates temporary construction lighting from permanent fixtures so it does not get left behind in the ceiling.
