SATCO Lighting S11344 8W C11 LED, Clear Finish, Candelabra Base, 4000K, 90 CRI, 800 Lumens, 120V

The S11344 is a dimmable 8W C11 LED lamp running on 120V, 60Hz and drawing 0.067A. It will dim, but on LED-rated dimming circuits, not on old high-wattage incandescent-only dimmers driving a single lamp. Because it pulls a fraction of the current of the 75W incandescent it replaces, a dimmer with a high minimum load may flicker or drop out until you have several lamps on the circuit.

Damp location rated, so a covered porch, a soffit fixture, a bathroom, or a covered entry is fine. What it is not rated for is wet location: no direct rain, no open exposure, no fixture where water can sit on the lamp. If the fixture is open to weather, this is the wrong lamp and you want a wet-rated one instead.

Title 24 compliant, per Satco's data on the S11344, and it carries 90 CRI, which is the color rendering threshold that specification usually turns on. It is also FCC compliant. For a California job where the fixture schedule calls for high efficacy lamps, those are the two numbers the plan checker looks for.

Burning position is universal, so base up, base down, or horizontal all work. That matters on chandeliers and sconces where the sockets point up and heat collects at the base, and on ceiling fan light kits where the lamps hang down. No orientation restriction to design around.

4000K is neutral white, closer to daylight than to candle glow. In a lobby, corridor, office, or commercial common area it reads clean and matches most fluorescent troffers being replaced around it. In a residential dining room or a hospitality space where people expect a warm candle look, it will look stark. The color is fixed on this lamp, it is not CCT selectable, so the decision is made at order time.

Average rated life on the S11344 is 15,000 hours. Run 12 hours a day, that is roughly 3.4 years per lamp; on a corridor or exterior fixture burning 24/7 it is closer to 1.7 years. For a property manager standardizing a building, that plus the 8 watt draw against a 75 watt incandescent is where the relamp labor savings come from.

It is a clear glass LED filament lamp, so the filament strips are exposed and it reads like a decorative candle bulb rather than a frosted or plastic-domed LED. The 300 degree beam spread means it throws light nearly all the way around instead of forward only, which is what you want in an exposed socket where the lamp is part of the look.

No. The S11344 is not a three-way lamp. Put it in a 3-way socket and you get one output level regardless of switch position, or erratic behavior. For dimming control, the lamp is dimmable on an LED-compatible dimmer instead; that is the route to variable output with this bulb.

90 CRI means colors under the lamp look close to how they look under daylight. In a healthcare exam area, a retail display, a hotel lobby, or anywhere finishes and skin tone matter, it is the difference between a space looking right and looking flat. In a back-of-house stairwell it buys you nothing. The S11344 pairs that 90 CRI with 760 lumens at 8 watts, so you are not trading output for it.
