SATCO Lighting S11455 13W A19 LED, 3000K, Dimmable, Medium Base, 230 degree Beam Angle, 4-Pack

Yes. The S11455 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can run inside a closed glass globe, a flush ceiling pan, or a jelly jar without voiding the rating. It is also damp location rated, which covers a covered porch ceiling or a bathroom over a shower, but it is an indoor lamp and should not go in a wet location.

No. Satco flags the S11455 as non-compliant for California, so it should not be specified for jobs in that state. For California work you need a lamp that meets the state's quality LED requirements instead.

The S11455 is dimmable on a 120V line voltage circuit. Each lamp draws 0.108 amps, so a full 15 amp branch circuit loaded to 80 percent (12 amps) would be well over a hundred lamps on current alone. In practice the dimmer's own LED load rating, not the breaker, is what limits the count.

3000K is a soft white, warmer than a 4000K neutral and noticeably warmer than daylight. It is the usual pick for apartment interiors, lobbies, and corridors where you want the look of incandescent without the yellow of 2700K. Color rendering is 80 CRI. Note that the lamp is not CCT selectable, so the 3000K is fixed and every lamp in the fleet will match.

Any orientation works. Burning position is universal, so base-up in a recessed can, base-down in a pendant, or horizontal in a wall sconce are all acceptable. The 230 degree beam spread means light wraps well past the sides of the lamp, which is why it works in a shade or globe rather than only throwing straight down.

It will light, but it will not step through the three levels. The S11455 is not a three-way lamp, so in a 3-way socket it operates as a single output bulb. For a table lamp where the tenant expects low/medium/high, order a 3-way LED instead.

No. The S11455 is not DLC approved, so it will not clear a rebate program that requires a DesignLights Consortium listing. It is FCC compliant for electromagnetic interference, which is a separate matter from rebate eligibility.

Average rated life on the S11455 is 15,000 hours. On a corridor or stairwell fixture running roughly 12 hours a day that works out to about 3.4 years between relamps, which is why the 4-pack is a practical buy for a building with many identical sockets.

It is a frost finish A19 with a white housing, so the diffuser hides the diodes and you get an even glow rather than visible hot spots. The housing is polycarbonate with high heat conductive plastic rather than glass, so it will not shatter the way an incandescent does when a tenant knocks it.
