SATCO Lighting S11346 8W C11 LED, Frosted Finish, Candelabra Base, 3000K, 90 CRI, 800 Lumens, 120V

It replaces a 75 watt incandescent candle bulb while drawing 8 watts, at 760 lumens on 120 volts. Current draw is 0.067 amps, so on a chandelier with a dozen sockets you are pulling well under an amp total instead of loading the circuit the way twelve 75W lamps would.

Yes, the 8W C11 is a dimmable lamp at 120V, 60Hz. One caution worth knowing on a retrofit: a dimmer sized for an incandescent load has a minimum load, and swapping a chandelier of 75W lamps for 8W LEDs can drop you below it, which shows up as flicker or a dead bottom end. If the fixture is going all-LED, plan on an LED-rated dimmer.

It is rated for indoor or outdoor use in damp locations, which covers a covered porch, a soffit fixture, a bathroom vanity or a laundry room. Damp rated is not wet rated, so it should not go where it takes direct rain or hose spray, such as an open exposed fixture with no shelter above it.

3000K is warm white, a step whiter than the 2700K soft white most residential incandescent and LED candle lamps run at. In a chandelier where some sockets get changed and others do not, a 3000K lamp next to a 2700K lamp reads as a visible color difference. For fleet work, change the whole fixture at once, and standardize on one color temperature across the property. This lamp is fixed at 3000K, not color selectable, so what you order is what you get.

Burning position is universal, so base-up, base-down or horizontal all work. That matters on chandeliers and wall sconces where sockets point in different directions, and on enclosed ceiling fixtures where the lamp hangs base-up. The frosted finish and a 300 degree beam spread mean it throws light all the way around rather than in one direction, so orientation does not create a dark side.

Frosted is the right call when the lamp is visible and glare is the problem. The S11346 is an LED filament lamp behind a frosted glass envelope, so you see a soft even glow instead of the bright filament lines. Go clear instead when the fixture is meant to show off the filament as a decorative element. Light output and color are the same either way on this 8W C11: 760 lumens at 3000K.

It does where people and finishes are on display. At 90 CRI, colors under this lamp render close to what they look like under daylight, so wood tones, upholstery, skin tones and food hold their color. Typical commercial LEDs sit around 80 CRI, where reds in particular go flat. For hospitality, retail and healthcare spaces lit by decorative candle fixtures, the 90 CRI is the reason to spec this one over a cheaper lamp.

Yes, the 8W C11 LED is listed as Title 24 compliant, which is what you need for the high-efficacy lighting requirement on California residential work, including multi-family. It is also FCC compliant. Those two together are what usually gets asked for on a submittal for new construction or a permitted remodel.

Average rated life is 15,000 hours. On a lobby or corridor chandelier running about 12 hours a day that is roughly three and a half years between relamps, against the several-hundred-hour life of the 75W incandescent candle lamp it replaces. For a property manager, the real saving on a high chandelier is the labor and the lift, not the watts.

No. This 8W C11 is a single-output lamp, not three-way, so in a three-way socket it will run at one brightness regardless of where the switch sits. For adjustable output, use it on a dimmer instead, which it does support.
