Satco Lighting S11553 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Satco S11553 LED PL lamp work if I leave my existing CFL ballast in place?
Yes. The S11553 is a dual mode (Type A/B) lamp, so it runs off a compatible existing ballast or, if you remove or bypass the ballast, it runs on line voltage direct. That makes it usable as a straight drop-in now and still good after the ballast fails and you rewire the fixture.
2) What voltage range does the Satco S11553 LED PL lamp run on for bypass wiring?
120 to 277 volt, so the same lamp works on 120V residential and multi-family circuits and on 277V commercial lighting branch circuits. For a bypass install, the socket is wired direct to line voltage within that range.
3) How bright is the 5.5W Satco S11553 compared to the CFL it replaces, and what color will it look?
550 lumens at 5.5 watts, at 4000K. 4000K is a neutral white, cooler and cleaner looking than the 2700K to 3000K warm lamps often found in residential fixtures, so if you are replacing only some lamps in a corridor or stairwell the color will not match a warm-white lamp beside it.
4) Is this Satco PL lamp a good choice for a downlight or a wall sconce?
It throws a 120 degree beam, so light spreads wide rather than being focused. That suits the recessed cans, sconces, stairwell fixtures and cabinet lights that PL twin-tube lamps normally sit in. It is not a spot or flood lamp and will not give you a controlled beam.
5) How long does the Satco S11553 LED PL lamp last for maintenance planning?
50,000 average rated hours. Running roughly 12 hours a day in a corridor or common area, that is over 11 years of service, which is why property managers relamping whole buildings tend to move PL sockets to LED in one pass.
6) Can I order the Satco S11553 in a different color temperature or wattage?
The S11553 is one configuration only: 5.5W, 4000K, 550 lumens, GX23 base, frost. Other color temperatures and wattages in Satco's LED PL line carry their own separate part numbers, so order by the number that matches the spec you need rather than expecting an option on this one.
7) What finish is the Satco S11553 lamp and will it hide the LED diodes?
Frost. The frosted lens diffuses the diodes so you do not see individual points of light through an open trim or a clear fixture lens.
