SATCO Lighting 90-2615 GU24 Base, Squat keyless fluorescent ceiling fixture with twist-on Lexan lens

The Satco 90-2615 is a GU24 base fixture, so it takes a twist-and-lock GU24 lamp (self-ballasted CFL or GU24 LED), not a screw-in medium base bulb. The lamp is not part of the fixture, so order the GU24 lamp separately. Dimming depends entirely on the lamp you install, since the fixture itself has no dimming hardware.

It measures 4.25 inches high with a 4.75 inch diameter, which is why it is called a squat fixture. That low profile works in closets, pantries, utility rooms, and low-headroom stairwells where a globe or drum would hang into the space. Mount it flush to a standard round ceiling box within that 4.75 inch footprint.

No. The 90-2615 is not Energy Star qualified, so it will not satisfy a spec or utility rebate program that requires an Energy Star rated fixture. For those jobs you need a fixture carrying the qualification on its own listing.

No. It is a keyless fixture, meaning there is no pull chain and no socket-mounted switch. Power has to be controlled from a wall switch or another upstream device. If you need local switching at the fixture, this is the wrong model.

The Lexan lens twists off, so a maintenance tech can change the GU24 lamp without tools or screws. Lexan is a polycarbonate lens rather than glass, which holds up better to handling on multi-family and MRO relamp rounds. The whole fixture weighs 0.77 lb, so it is a one-hand job on a ladder.

Rated 120V, so it wires straight to standard North American residential and light commercial branch circuits. No external ballast or driver is required at the fixture, because a GU24 lamp carries its own ballast or driver inside the lamp.

That is the practical argument for a GU24 fixture. The housing stays on the ceiling and the GU24 base accepts either a self-ballasted CFL or a GU24 LED lamp, so you can convert a property to LED later without rewiring or swapping fixtures. All units are the same white finish and the same 4.75 inch diameter, so the openings match across doors and ceilings.

One configuration only: white finish, with a urea housing. Urea is a molded thermoset plastic, so the body is non-metallic and will not corrode in damp utility areas, and the white finish blends into a painted ceiling without touch-up.
