SATCO Lighting S11778 8.5W BR30 LED, Medium Base, CCT Selectable, White Finish, 90 CRI, 120V

One lamp covers five color temperatures: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K. For a property manager or MRO stockroom that means a single SKU on the shelf instead of five, and you set each lamp to match whatever the rest of the space is already running. Set the temperature before you install it, since the selector is on the lamp and a recessed can will bury it once it's seated.

Yes. The S11778 is an enclosed rated lamp, so sealed and airtight recessed housings are fine. It burns in any position, base up or base down, which matters in sloped ceilings and wall-mounted cans.

Damp location rated, so covered porches, soffits, bathrooms and enclosed shower cans with a trim are within spec. It is an indoor-rated lamp and is not wet location rated, so keep it out of open exposure to rain or direct spray.

It dims, on 120V/60Hz line voltage. At 8.5 watts it only pulls 0.0708 amps, so an older magnetic or high-wattage-minimum dimmer may drop out or flicker with just one or two lamps on the circuit. Pair it with an LED-rated dimmer, or gang enough lamps to clear the dimmer's minimum load.

No. The S11778 is not a three-way lamp, so in a 3-way socket it will run at a single output level regardless of switch position. For a 3-way fixture you need a lamp specifically built with three-way circuitry.

The S11778 is a 90 CRI lamp, which is the threshold most retail, hospitality and healthcare specs call for when color rendering matters on merchandise, skin tone or finishes. Standard-grade LED retrofits typically sit at 80 CRI, so if you are mixing this into an existing installation the 90 CRI lamps will visibly render color differently than the 80 CRI ones alongside them.

No. This BR30 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing. If your utility rebate is tied to DLC, you will need to source a DLC-listed lamp for that scope.

Rated for 25,000 average hours. In a common area running roughly 12 hours a day that's over five years between relamps, which is the argument for retrofitting a stairwell or corridor where getting a lift in place costs more than the lamp does.

Plastic base and a frosted plastic lens with a white housing, so there's no glass envelope to break in handling or shipping. Satco lists it as lawful for sale in California and FCC compliant.
