SATCO Lighting S11625R1 12W LED Direct Wire Downlight, Gimbaled, 3.5 Inch, CCT Selectable, Round, Remote Driver, 840 Lumens, 120V

The LED driver is a separate box that is not built into the trim. You mount the driver in the ceiling cavity or junction box, run the low voltage leads to the light head, and feed the driver from 120V, 60Hz line power. That keeps the fixture body shallow at 2.1 inches, which matters in tight joist bays or furred-down ceilings, but it means you need accessible space nearby for the driver and you should follow the Satco installation sheet for lead routing.

Yes. The S11625R1 carries a Wet location rating and is listed for indoor and outdoor use, so soffits, covered entries, and shower or tub locations are all within its rating. It is cETLus Listed and FCC compliant as well.

Color temperature is field selectable at the fixture across five settings: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K. For a property manager standardizing a building, that means one part number can be dialed in to match warm 2700K residential units or 4000K corridors and back-of-house without stocking separate SKUs. Set it before you button up the ceiling, using the selector per the Satco instruction sheet.

It is dimmable on 120V and is California T24 Listed, which is what you need for residential and many commercial projects in California energy code jurisdictions. Pair it with a dimmer rated for LED loads at this low 12 watt draw, since very small loads on an older incandescent dimmer are a common cause of flicker.

Color only. The S11625R1 is CCT selectable but not wattage selectable, so it draws a fixed 12 watts and delivers 840 lumens no matter which of the five color settings you pick. If a job calls for field-adjustable output, this is not the fixture for it.

The gimbal lets you aim the light head after install, which is what you want over artwork, a reception desk, stone or tile feature walls, or on a sloped ceiling where a fixed trim would throw straight down at an angle. If all you need is general ceiling wash in a corridor or unit, a fixed round trim is the simpler choice. The S11625R1 is the aimable version, 3.5 inch, round, in a black finish.

No. The light source is integrated, so there is no lamp to change; when the LED or driver fails the component gets replaced. Rated life is 50,000 hours, which at 12 hours a day is roughly 11 years of service. The housing and base are aluminum, which helps it shed heat over that life.

Plan for a 3.5 inch nominal opening with a 4.38 inch trim flange covering it, and 2.1 inches of depth behind the ceiling for the light head itself. The driver mounts separately, so allow room for it in the cavity as well. Each unit weighs 0.98 lb, light enough that it is the ceiling material, not the load, that drives your support detail.

Black, and that is the only finish for this model number. If the ceiling plan calls for white or brushed nickel trims to disappear into the ceiling, you need a different Satco part number; black is usually specified deliberately for dark ceilings, exposed-structure retail, and hospitality where a visible aperture is wanted.

Yes, the S11625R1 is RoHS compliant, cETLus Listed, and California T24 Listed. It is manufactured in Vietnam. Those three listings cover the paperwork most institutional and sustainable-distribution specs ask for on a recessed LED downlight.
