SATCO Lighting S11231 3.5W, JCD LED, Clear, 4000K, G9 Base, 120V

No. The S11231 is a non-dimmable lamp, so it needs to run on a straight switched circuit. Put it on a dimmer and you risk flicker, buzz, or a short life. If the fixture is on a dimmer, either replace the dimmer with a standard switch or pick a G9 lamp that is listed as dimmable.

Yes, the S11231 is an enclosed rated lamp, so a sealed or covered fixture is fine. It also carries a damp location rating and a universal burning position, so base up, base down, or horizontal all work, and it can go in a bathroom or a covered porch ceiling. Damp rated is not wet rated, so keep it out of anywhere it takes direct rain or spray.

It is a 35W incandescent equivalent drawing 3.5 watts and putting out 330 lumens, so it is the drop in for a 35W G9 halogen capsule. The light color will not match a halogen though: at 4000K it reads neutral white, where a halogen sits around 2700K to 3000K warm white. If the fixture has more than one socket, change all of them at once or the mismatch will show.

The S11231 uses a G9 double loop base, which is the standard two wire loop pin base with 9mm spacing found in G9 halogen capsule fixtures. It pushes straight into the same socket, no adapter and no rewiring. It is a T4 shape lamp, so check the capsule clearance inside a tight shade or a small glass globe before you commit to a fleet quantity.

4000K is neutral white, which suits corridors, laundry rooms, back of house, kitchens, and commercial baths. For guest rooms and residential living areas most specs call for 2700K or 3000K, and a 4000K lamp in that setting will read cold and get complaints. CRI is 80, which is standard for general lighting but below what you would want over retail merchandise or in a color critical space.

Each lamp draws 0.029 amps at 120 volts, 60Hz, so a chandelier with 20 sockets pulls well under an amp. Load is effectively a non issue on these; the practical limit on a branch circuit is everything else sharing it, not the lamps. Voltage is 120V only, so it will not run on a 277V commercial circuit or on low voltage transformer feeds.

Title 24 compliant, yes, per the lamp data. That matters on California multifamily and commercial retrofits where the fixture count has to be certified. Note that it is not DLC listed, so if the utility rebate program you are filing under requires a DLC listed product, this lamp will not qualify for it. It is FCC compliant.

Average rated life is 25,000 hours. On a corridor or common area fixture running 12 hours a day that is roughly 5.7 years between changes, versus the once or twice a year a G9 halogen typically demands. For a property manager with ladder work and a long relamp list, that is where the money is on this swap, not on the 3.5 watt draw.

The lamp has a clear lens and clear housing with a 300 degree beam spread, so it throws light nearly all the way around like the halogen capsule it replaces. That is what you want behind a shade, a frosted globe, or a diffuser. In an open chandelier or an exposed socket at eye level, a clear lamp shows the LED emitters directly and reads as a bright point, so use a frosted G9 there instead.

Indoor rated only, with a damp location listing. That covers a covered entry, a soffit, a porch ceiling, or a bathroom where condensation is expected, but it is not a wet location lamp and should not be used anywhere exposed to direct weather. For an open exterior fixture taking rain, specify a wet location rated lamp.

Ceramic base with a plastic lens. Ceramic is what you want at the socket end in a small enclosed fixture, since it takes fixture heat better than a molded plastic base and is the reason this lamp is enclosed rated. The lens being plastic rather than glass means it will not shatter if it gets knocked during a relamp, which is worth something on a high socket count chandelier.

One configuration only: MPN S11231, clear finish, 4000K, 3.5W, G9 base, 120V. There is no color temperature selection on this lamp and no three way function, so nothing to specify beyond quantity. If you need the same capsule in 2700K or 3000K, that is a different Satco part number, not an option on this one.
