SATCO Lighting S11642 12.5W LED Downlight Retrofit, 5-6in, 2700K, 120V, Dimmable, White Finish

It carries a wet location rating, so it can be used in a shower stall or over a tub where the housing itself is rated for that use. Satco lists the fixture as an indoor product, so for a covered porch or soffit you want a downlight rated for outdoor use instead. It is cULus Classified.

It is a fixed 2700K warm white, the same tone as a traditional incandescent, so it blends with existing incandescent or 2700K LED downlights. There is no CCT selector on this model, so you cannot field-adjust it to 3000K or 4000K. If you are standardizing a building on a cooler color, pick a different color temperature rather than mixing this one in.

The S11642 is dimmable and runs on 120 volt, 60 Hz line power, which is standard residential and light commercial circuitry. It is a single fixed wattage of 12.5W, so there is no wattage selector switch to set during install.

Yes, Satco lists the S11642 as Title 24 compliant, which matters if you are permitting residential work in California. It is also FCC compliant and cULus Classified.

For a contractor it is a straightforward retrofit: kill the circuit, pull the old trim and lamp, thread the medium base adapter into the existing socket, and push the fixture up into the can. It is a ceiling-mount recessed retrofit rather than a new housing, so no junction box work or new wiring is involved as long as the existing can is in good condition. Satco publishes install instructions and a full spec sheet for the S11642.

The housing is die-cast aluminum in a white finish, which doubles as the heat sink for the LED. Overall the unit measures 1.97 inches high by 7.36 inches in diameter, round. Most of that height sits up inside the can once it is clipped in, so what you see at the ceiling is the white round trim face.
