SATCO Lighting S11629 12W LED Direct Wire Downlight, Gimbaled, 3.5in, 3000K, 120V, Dimmable, Square, Remote Driver, Brushed Nickel

Plan on 3 inches of depth above the ceiling for the fixture itself, with a 4.38 by 4.38 inch square face at the ceiling line (overall L:4.38" W:4.38" H:3.00"). Because the driver is remote rather than attached, the depth requirement is for the LED module only; the driver needs its own accessible space. Spring clips hold it in the opening, per Satco's spring installation instructions.

It carries a Wet location rating, so a shower or a covered porch ceiling is within rating. Satco classifies it as an indoor fixture, so for exterior work keep it under a fully covered, protected ceiling rather than open sky. It is cETLus Listed and also California Title 24 listed.

Yes, it is a gimbaled trim, so the LED optic tilts within the square 4.38 inch aperture frame for wall washing or accenting. Light output is fixed at 840 lumens, 12 watts, 3000K warm white.

The S11629 is dimmable on a 120V, 60Hz circuit. Dimming behavior is controlled by the remote driver, so the dimmer has to be an LED-compatible model matched to that driver, not an old incandescent-only rotary. On a multi-fixture run, keep all the downlights on the same driver and dimmer type to avoid mismatched low-end performance.

No. Color is fixed at 3000K and wattage fixed at 12W, with no CCT or wattage selector on the fixture. If you are matching existing warm white downlights in a corridor or lobby, 3000K is a common commercial warm white and will read consistent across a run of these; if you need a different temperature, order a different model rather than expecting to field-set this one.

It is listed as California T24 Listed and cETLus Listed. That matters on California jobs where recessed luminaires in residences have to come off the approved list; for specification files, Satco publishes the full spec sheet for the S11629 along with the spring installation instructions.

No. The LED is integrated, so there is no serviceable lamp. Rated life is 50,000 average hours, and at end of life the trim assembly is replaced rather than relamped. For a maintenance fleet, that is the tradeoff: no relamping labor for years, but a fixture swap eventually.

Aluminum body and base, finished in brushed nickel, at 1.39 lb per fixture. The light weight means standard spring clips carry it in a drywall ceiling without added bracing. It is also RoHS compliant and FCC compliant.
