SATCO Lighting S11474 8.5W, BR30 LED, 2700K, 90 CRI, Medium Base, 120V, Dimmable, 6-Pack

Yes. The S11474 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can go in a closed globe, a lensed drum, or an IC/airtight recessed housing without cooking the driver. Most BR30 LEDs are not enclosed rated, which is the single most common reason a retrofit lamp dies early in a sealed fixture.

Damp location rated and indoor rated, so a bathroom, a shower with a trim, or a laundry is fine. A covered porch is not: the rating stops at damp, and an open soffit or anywhere the lamp can catch driven rain needs a wet location lamp instead.

At 2700K it is warm white, the same tone as the incandescent and halogen BR30s it is meant to replace. If the rest of the ceiling is running 3000K or 4000K lamps, the difference will be obvious side by side. Color temperature is fixed here, not selectable, so what you order is what you get on every one of the six lamps in the pack.

90 CRI means colors under the lamp read close to how they look under daylight. That matters where people judge finishes, food, paint, or skin tone: hotel guest rooms, retail, model units, healthcare exam areas, and dining. For a back-of-house corridor or a storage room it is money you do not need to spend. The frosted lens also softens the source so the diode array is not visible as hot spots in an open can.

Burning position is universal, so base up in a downlight, horizontal in a wall sconce, or base down in a pendant are all acceptable. No orientation restriction to work around when you are standardizing one lamp across mixed fixture types in a building.

Rated 25,000 hours. On a corridor or lobby fixture burning 12 hours a day that is roughly 5.7 years; at 24/7 it is about 2.9 years. That is the number that decides whether relamping BR30 cans in a high-ceiling or hard-access space is worth the lift.

No. The S11474 is not a three-way lamp. Put it in a three-way socket and it will run at one output level only, or it may only light on certain switch positions. For a three-way table lamp you need a lamp built for it; for dimming, this one dims on a standard dimmer instead.

No, it is not DLC approved, so it will not clear a rebate program that requires a DLC listing. Many residential-style BR30 rebates run through ENERGY STAR or a utility's own lamp list rather than DLC, so check the specific program you are filing under before you count on an incentive for a retrofit spec.

S11474 is a 6-pack of the 8.5W BR30 under a single Satco part number, supplied with a frost lens. For a property manager relamping a floor of cans, that is one line item per six fixtures rather than counting individual lamps.

Both the lens and the base are plastic, and the housing is white. That matters on job sites and in rental turns: a dropped lamp is far less likely to shatter than a glass BR30, and there is no glass to clean out of a can or a carpet.

Yes. The S11474 is lawful for sale in California, so it clears the state lamp regulations that block a number of LED replacement lamps from being shipped or specified there.
