SATCO Lighting S11236 5W, JCD LED, Frost, 3000K, G9 Base, 120V

That is exactly what it is built for. The S11236 is a 5 watt G9 LED rated as a 40 watt incandescent equivalent, putting out 500 lumens at 3000K. It uses the standard G9 double loop base, so it drops into the same socket as a halogen G9 capsule, and it runs on 120 volt line voltage at 0.042 amps. The frosted T4 shape diffuses the light the way a frosted halogen capsule does, so you will not get a harsh point source in an open fixture.

Yes. The S11236 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it is approved for sealed and fully enclosed fixtures where heat builds up. It also carries a damp location rating, which covers bathrooms, covered entries, and similar humid indoor spaces. It is listed for indoor use, so do not put it in an exposed outdoor fixture that sees direct weather.

The bulb is dimmable on a 120 volt, 60 Hz circuit. Keep in mind the practical issue with any G9 retrofit: it draws 0.042 amps versus the much larger load of the halogen capsules the dimmer was likely sized for, so a chandelier converted entirely to these may fall below the dimmer's minimum load and flicker or drop out at the low end. A LED-rated dimmer with a low minimum load handles this properly.

Any orientation works. The S11236 is rated for universal burning position, so base-up, base-down, and horizontal are all fine. That matters in multi-arm chandeliers and wall sconces where sockets point in different directions. The lamp has a ceramic base, which handles socket heat better than a plastic one.

3000K is warm white, close to but slightly cooler than the roughly 2700K of a standard halogen capsule. If you are relamping a chandelier or a run of sconces, change all the lamps at once rather than mixing, or the difference will show. Color rendering is 80 CRI and the color temperature is fixed, not selectable, so every one of these lamps will look identical to the next.

It throws a 300 degree beam spread, which is close to omnidirectional. Combined with the frosted plastic lens, the output is diffuse rather than directional, so it fills open chandeliers, pendants, and shaded sconces evenly. If you need a tight, aimed beam for accent work, this is the wrong lamp type.

Rated at 25,000 average hours. For a property manager or facility team, that is the main argument over halogen G9 capsules, which burn out far faster and keep a ladder in the hallway. At 5 watts drawing 0.042 amps instead of a 40 watt halogen, the connected load on a multi-lamp chandelier drops sharply too.

Yes, the S11236 is Title 24 compliant, which matters for residential and multi-family work in California where lighting has to meet the state energy code. It is also FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so if a commercial rebate program you are filing under requires DLC, this lamp will not qualify for it.

No. The S11236 is not a three-way lamp. It is a single output 5 watt, 500 lumen G9 that dims on a compatible dimmer, but it will not step through levels in a three-way socket. G9 fixtures are generally dimmer-controlled rather than three-way anyway.
