SATCO Lighting S11461 9W A19 LED, 5000K, Non-Dimmable, E26, 80 CRI, 8-Pack

No. The S11461 is a non-dimmable A19 lamp. Put it on a dimmer circuit and you get flicker, buzz, or premature failure, and the dimmer itself can be damaged. Leave it on standard on/off switches only. It also won't work as a 3-way lamp, so a socket fed by a 3-way turn-knob or a 3-way fixture needs a different bulb.

It's a direct 60W incandescent replacement, drawing 9 watts and putting out 750 lumens on 120V. Screws into the same medium E26 socket. The one thing that changes is color: at 5000K it's daylight white, noticeably cooler and bluer than the warm yellow of the 60W incandescent it replaces. If tenants are used to soft white, expect comments. For back-of-house, laundry, stairwells, garages, and shops, 5000K is usually what you want.

Yes, it's an enclosed rated lamp, so a closed glass dome, a flush-mount ceiling drum, or a jar-style fixture is fine. That matters because most cheap LEDs are not enclosed rated and cook themselves in a sealed housing. Rating is Damp location and Indoor, so covered corridors, bathrooms, and laundry rooms are in scope, but an open exterior fixture taking direct rain is not.

The S11461 is flagged non-compliant for California. California enforces its own state lamp efficacy standards separate from federal rules, so use a California-compliant A19 LED for work in that state. Everywhere else it's a standard 120V general service lamp.

Burning position is universal, so base-up in a recessed can, base-down in a pendant, or horizontal in a sconce all work with no derating. Combined with the enclosed rating, that covers most of the fixture types in a typical building without stocking a second lamp.

Each lamp pulls 0.075A at 120V, 60Hz. That's a tiny load, so lamp count is almost never the limit on a lighting circuit, and swapping incandescents for these frees up a lot of headroom on an existing branch. Size the circuit to the fixtures and any other load on it, not to the bulbs.

No. The S11461 is not DLC approved, so it won't qualify under rebate programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing. For a rebated retrofit, specify a DLC-listed lamp. If the project is a straight maintenance replacement with no incentive filing, that's not a factor.

Beam spread is 220 degrees, so it's an omnidirectional A-lamp, not a directional flood. Light wraps up and out of the acrylic housing rather than firing down in a cone. That's what you want in a table lamp, a bare-socket keyless, or a glass globe where the fixture does the distributing. For a recessed can where you want the light aimed at the floor, a BR or PAR lamp is the better shape.

No, the color is fixed at 5000K daylight. It's not a CCT selectable lamp, so there's no switch on the base to move it to 2700K or 3500K. If you're standardizing a building and want warm light in the units and daylight in the back-of-house, that's two different lamps, not one adjustable one.

80 CRI at 5000K is the standard general-purpose spec for corridors, stairwells, storage, parking, laundry, and back-of-house. It renders colors well enough for wayfinding and work. Where you're matching paint, grading fabric, or lighting retail merchandise or a hotel guest room, you'd want a higher CRI lamp and usually a warmer color temperature instead.

Rated 10,000 average hours. On a corridor or stairwell burning roughly 12 hours a day, that's a bit over two years between relamps, versus the few months you get out of a 60W incandescent in the same socket. For a fleet of units, the labor saved on ladder trips is usually the bigger number than the bulb cost.

The S11461 ships as an 8-pack of 9W A19 lamps, all 5000K, in a white acrylic housing. Ordering by the 8-pack is how most MRO and property maintenance buyers stock these, since one pack covers a floor of corridor fixtures or a full unit turnover.
