SATCO Lighting S11633 12W LED Direct Wire Downlight, 3.5in, 3000K, 120V, Dimmable, Square, Remote Driver, White

The 12W S11633 is a direct wire fixture whose LED driver is a separate module rather than being built into the trim, so it wires to line voltage at a junction box and the driver sits outside the light housing in the ceiling cavity. That keeps the fixture body shallow at 3 inches deep, but it means you have to plan an accessible spot for the driver during rough-in. It is a 120V, 60Hz fixture with no lamp to install, the LED is integrated.

It carries a wet location rating, so it is suitable for a shower ceiling or similar damp/wet interior spot. Satco does classify it as an indoor fixture, though, so use it inside the building envelope rather than on open exterior soffits or eaves.

The S11633 puts out 840 lumens at 12 watts in a fixed 3000K warm white. It is not CCT selectable and not wattage selectable, so what you order is what you get, which is actually helpful when you are standardizing corridors or units and want every trim to look identical. If the rest of your building is 2700K or 4000K, this one will read noticeably different next to them.

It is cETLus Listed and California T24 Listed, and Satco also states FCC compliance and RoHS compliance. That combination covers the usual submittal boxes for California work and for most institutional specs asking for a recognized third party listing.

Yes, the fixture is dimmable on a 120V circuit. Because the driver is remote rather than integral, the dimmer has to be matched to that driver, so pair it with a forward or reverse phase LED dimmer appropriate for the driver you are installing and keep the load within the dimmer's LED rating.

Average rated life is 50,000 hours. The LED is integrated, so there is no lamp to swap at all, which is the point for a property manager relamping a hallway on a schedule. When it does fail, the trim comes out and the remote driver is replaced or checked separately rather than changing a bulb.

White is the only finish offered, and the base material is aluminum, which helps the fixture shed heat in a shallow 3 inch deep housing. The style is utility rather than decorative, so it suits corridors, closets, baths, and back of house rather than feature lighting.
