SATCO Lighting S11415 9.5W A19 LED, 3000K, Dimmable, Medium Base, 230 degree Beam Angle, 4-Pack

Yes. The S11415 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can be installed inside a fully enclosed fixture without voiding its rating. It also carries a damp location rating and a universal burning position, so base-up in a can light, base-down in a globe, or horizontal in a sconce are all fine. Damp covers a bathroom, a covered porch ceiling, or a laundry room, but not a spot exposed to direct rain.

The lamp is dimmable and runs on 120V, 60Hz, so it works on a standard line-voltage residential dimmer. The thing that catches property managers is load: at 0.079 amps each, a 9.5W LED pulls a fraction of what the incandescent did, and older dimmers built for a heavy incandescent load often have a minimum load that a few LEDs will not meet. That shows up as flicker or a dead spot at the bottom of the travel. If a circuit is running just two or three of these on an old rotary or slide dimmer, plan on swapping the dimmer for an LED-rated one.

No. The S11415 is flagged non-compliant for California, so it should not be specified for jobs in that state. California enforces its own lamp efficacy and quality rules on top of federal ones, and a bulb that does not meet them cannot be legally sold there. For CA work, look for a Satco A19 LED carried specifically as a California-compliant SKU.

3000K is soft white, a notch cooler and cleaner than the 2700K most residential incandescent replacements use. It reads well in corridors, kitchens, baths, and laundry rooms where you want the space to look crisp rather than yellow. For living rooms and bedrooms in class A residential, 2700K tends to be the expectation. The lamp is a fixed 3000K and is not color selectable, so what you order is what you get on the wall. Its CRI is 80, standard for general area lighting, and below the 90-plus you would want where color matching actually matters.

230 degrees of beam spread, which is wide but not fully omnidirectional. In a table lamp, a bare pendant, or an open globe fixture, that reads much like a standard A19: light goes out and down and well past the equator of the bulb. What you will not get is much light thrown straight back behind the base, so in a fixture that relies on uplight bouncing off a ceiling, output will look lower than the 800 lumen figure suggests. The lens is frosted, so the diode array is diffused rather than showing as hot points.

Rated for 15,000 hours. On a common-area fixture burning roughly 12 hours a day that is about three and a half years before you are back on a ladder; on a residential fixture at 3 hours a day it is well over a decade. For an MRO buyer that is the number that justifies standardizing: relamp cycles on corridors and stairwells drop from annual to multi-year.

Not as a 3-way. This bulb is single-level output only, so in a 3-way socket it will light at one brightness regardless of where the switch sits, and on some fixtures it will only come on in certain switch positions. For a 3-way table or floor lamp, order a lamp specifically listed as 3-way. Where the fixture is on a wall dimmer instead, this bulb dims normally.

Only under cover. The lamp is damp location rated and listed for indoor use, which covers a soffit can, a covered entry, or a porch ceiling fixture where rain cannot reach the lamp. An open exterior fixture, a post lantern with an open bottom, or anything taking direct weather needs a wet location rated lamp instead. The housing is a high heat conductive plastic with a polycarbonate lens, not glass, so it will not shatter if a maintenance tech drops one on a walkway.

Not through DesignLights Consortium. The S11415 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under rebate programs that key off the DLC qualified products list. Most utility rebates on screw-base A-lamps run through ENERGY STAR rather than DLC anyway, and DLC listings generally cover commercial fixtures and troffer retrofits. If a rebate is driving the spec on a large relamp, confirm which list your utility program requires before committing the quantity.

Four bulbs per pack. Each is a 9.5W A19 with a frosted polycarbonate lens on a medium screw base, ready to install with nothing else required. For a property manager stocking a maintenance cart, that means one pack covers a typical two bedroom unit's fixtures or a short run of corridor lights.

The S11415 is FCC compliant, so its driver meets the federal limits on conducted and radiated emissions for consumer lighting. That is the spec to point at when a resident complains about an AM radio or a wireless doorbell after a relamp. It is the same standard that separates a name-brand LED lamp from unmarked imports, which are the usual culprit in those calls.
