SATCO Lighting S11408 9.8W, A19 LED, 4000K, Medium Base, 220 degree Beam Angle, 120V

No. The S11408 is a non-dimmable lamp. Put it on a dimmer circuit and you can expect flicker, buzz, or early failure. If the fixture is on a dimmer, either swap the switch for a standard toggle or spec a dimmable A19 instead.

Yes, the S11408 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it is built to handle the heat trapped inside a closed globe or dome. It also carries a damp location rating, which covers a covered porch, a bathroom, or a laundry room. Damp is not wet, so it does not belong anywhere it takes direct rain or spray.

4000K is neutral white, a cooler and cleaner look than the yellow of an incandescent. It suits corridors, stairwells, laundry rooms, garages, and back-of-house work areas. For living rooms and bedrooms where tenants expect the warm incandescent look, a 2700K or 3000K lamp is the better call. The color is fixed on this one, there is no CCT selection on the bulb, so pick the temperature at order time and standardize by area.

No. The S11408 is not a 3-way lamp. Screwed into a 3-way socket it will light at one level only, and depending on the switch position it may not light at all. For a 3-way fixture, order a lamp specified as 3-way.

This lamp is flagged non-compliant for California, so it cannot be specified for California jobs. Buyers standardizing a portfolio that spans California should choose a California-compliant A19 LED for those properties and keep this one for the rest.

Any orientation. The burning position is universal, so base up in a recessed can, base down in a table lamp, or horizontal in a wall sconce all work without affecting the lamp.

220 degrees of beam spread, so it throws light back past the base rather than just forward like a reflector lamp. That is what you want in an open shade, a sconce, or a bare socket where light needs to fill the room. The white lens diffuses the output rather than leaving hot spots of diode glare.

Average rated life is 10,000 hours. In a corridor or common area running roughly 12 hours a day, that is somewhere near two and a half years between relamps. For a fixture that runs 24/7, plan on a little over a year.

CRI is 80, which is the standard commercial figure. Fine for corridors, offices, storage, stairwells, and general MRO relamping. If you are lighting merchandise, artwork, or anywhere color accuracy is judged, spec a 90+ CRI lamp instead.

No. The S11408 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under a rebate program that requires a DesignLights Consortium listing. If a utility incentive is part of the project budget, verify the program's qualified products list before committing to a lamp.

White housing with a white lens, the standard opaque A19 look rather than clear glass or a filament style. In an exposed-bulb fixture it will read the same as the other frosted white A19 lamps on the property, so it matches a mixed retrofit visually. The body is acrylic, not glass.
