SATCO Lighting S11620 12W LED Direct Wire Downlight, Gimbaled, 4in, 3000K, 120V, Dimmable, Round, Remote Driver, Brushed Nickel

Remote driver means the LED driver sits outside the fixture body, connected by lead, instead of being packed into the housing. That keeps the can shallow (2 inches tall) so it works in tight ceiling cavities, and it lets you service or replace the driver without pulling the trim out of the ceiling. You do need accessible space above the ceiling for the driver and its junction box. Mounting instructions are published by Satco at the installation sheet for S11620.

Yes, it is California T24 Listed, so it can be specified on Title 24 work. It runs 120V at 60Hz, draws 12 watts, and is dimmable, which covers the usual control requirement on residential recessed work.

No. The S11620 is fixed at 3000K, with no CCT selector switch and no wattage selector. If you are standardizing a property on a different color temperature, order the Satco fixture built for that CCT instead of planning to change it in the field.

Each S11620 delivers 850 lumens at 12 watts in 3000K warm white. For general ceiling lighting at 8 to 9 foot heights, that is a typical 4 inch downlight output, so plan on spacing them roughly 4 feet apart in a living space and tighten that up over counters or in a corridor. The gimbal lets you aim each one, so the same fixture also works as a wall-wash or art light on the perimeter.

Aluminum, in brushed nickel. That is the only finish offered on the S11620, so if a job needs white or black trims to match an existing ceiling, you are looking at a different Satco part number. The complete fixture weighs 1.41 lb, light enough for standard ceiling mounting.

No, the LED is integrated into the fixture, so there is no lamp to change. Rated life is 50,000 hours; at that point the whole trim gets swapped. On a multi-family or hospitality retrofit that is the tradeoff to weigh against a socket-based retrofit kit, though it is also why there are no relamping trips in between.

The fixture is dimmable on a 120V 60Hz circuit. Pair it with a dimmer rated for LED loads and check the driver's dimming range on the Satco spec sheet for S11620 before you order a wall box full of them; standard incandescent dimmers are a common cause of flicker and low-end dropout on LED drivers.
