SATCO Lighting S11306 4W CA11 LED, Satin Spun Clear, Candelabra Base, 2700K, 120V, Carded

It replaces a 40 watt incandescent candle bulb. The S11306 draws 4 watts and puts out 300 lumens at 2700K, so the light level and warm color are close to what a standard 40W candelabra lamp gave you, at roughly a tenth of the load. Handy when you are re-lamping a chandelier with a dozen sockets on one circuit.

The S11306 is a dimmable lamp. One caution for property managers re-lamping older fixtures: dimmers built for incandescent loads often have a minimum load higher than what a few 4W lamps draw, and each bulb pulls only 0.033A. If a chandelier of these flickers or drops out at the low end, the dimmer is the part to change, not the lamp.

Yes, it is an enclosed rated lamp, so sealed ceiling fixtures, lanterns and glass-globe sconces are fair game. That matters because heat buildup in an enclosure shortens the life of LEDs that are not rated for it. It is also damp location rated, which covers covered porches and bathrooms, but not direct exposure to weather.

Burning position is universal, so base-up, base-down or horizontal all work. Useful on chandeliers with mixed socket orientation and on wall sconces where the lamp sits sideways.

The satin spun finish is a diffusing lens over an LED filament, which knocks down the hot-spot you get from a clear filament lamp while keeping the candle look. Color is 2700K warm white with 80 CRI, and the beam spreads 300 degrees, so it throws light nearly all the way around rather than in one direction. That is the right choice for exposed-socket chandeliers and sconces where the bulb is visible.

Average rated life is 15,000 hours. At roughly 8 hours a day in a lobby or corridor that works out to about five years between re-lamps, which is why hospitality and multi-family buyers standardize on LED candelabra rather than incandescent in high-socket-count fixtures.

No on both counts. It is a fixed 2700K lamp with no CCT selection, and it is not a three-way bulb, so it will only run at full output in a three-way socket. If you need a cooler white or a field-selectable color, this is the wrong lamp.

It is not DLC listed and it is not Title 24 compliant, so it will not satisfy a California Title 24 lighting requirement or a utility program that requires DLC qualification. It is FCC compliant. For a Title 24 job, specify a lamp that carries that compliance on its spec sheet.

Only if the fixture is a covered one. The S11306 carries a damp location rating, which covers porches, breezeways and enclosed lanterns shielded from rain, but not wet locations where the lamp can take direct water. For an exposed fixture, use a wet location rated lamp.

Glass. The S11306 is a glass CA11 filament-style candle lamp with a spun satin finish, not a plastic-bodied LED, so it keeps the look of a traditional candelabra bulb in an open chandelier.
