Satco Lighting S11551 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I install the Satco S11551 LED PL lamp without removing the existing fluorescent ballast?
Yes. The S11551 is a dual mode lamp: it runs on an existing ballast (Type A) or direct on line voltage after the ballast is bypassed (Type B). Bypass wiring accepts 120V to 277V at 50/60Hz, so it works in both 120V residential and 277V commercial circuits. Leaving the ballast in place is the fast swap; bypassing it removes the ballast as a future failure point and drops the ballast's own power draw.
2) Can I put this LED PL lamp on a dimmer?
No. The S11551 is not dimmable in either mode. Wired to a dimming circuit it will flicker, buzz, or fail early. If the stairwell or corridor fixture is on a dimmer, either replace the dimmer with a standard switch or pick a lamp rated for dimming.
3) Is this Satco PL lamp OK in an enclosed shower fixture or a covered outdoor soffit?
Not in an enclosed fixture. It is an open rated lamp, meaning it needs air around it and should not be installed in a sealed housing where heat builds up. It is rated for damp locations and for indoor use, so a bathroom vanity or a covered interior space is fine, but it is not a wet location lamp for exposed exterior fixtures.
4) What incandescent wattage does this 5.5W LED PL lamp replace?
It puts out 500 lumens at 5.5 watts, which Satco rates as a 45W incandescent equivalent. Colour is 3000K warm white with 80 CRI, so it reads closer to a soft white incandescent than to cool office lighting. Current draw runs 0.046 to 0.020A depending on supply voltage.
5) Can this lamp be mounted base-up or horizontally in a wall sconce?
Burning position is universal, so the S11551 can go base-up, base-down, or horizontal without affecting rated life. That matters on PL retrofits, where sconces and downlights often hold the lamp sideways.
6) Is the Satco S11551 DLC listed for utility rebates?
No. It is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify for rebate programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing. It is FCC compliant. If a rebate is driving the retrofit, verify the program's qualified products list before you spec quantity.
7) How long do these LED PL lamps last compared with the CFLs I keep changing?
Rated average life is 50,000 hours. For a property manager relamping corridor and stairwell PL fixtures, that is the main argument for the swap over another twin-tube CFL, especially if you bypass the ballast (Type B) so there's no ballast left to fail in the fixture.
8) Does this bulb have a selectable color temperature?
No, it is fixed at 3000K warm white. There is no field-selectable CCT switch. If you are standardizing a building, order all fixtures in 3000K so the corridors match; mixing in a 4000K lamp on the same run will be obvious.
