SATCO Lighting S11859 10.5W, LED Retrofit Downlight, Gimbaled, 120V, CCT Selectable, Bronze Finish

Damp location rated and listed for indoor use, so a bathroom ceiling or an enclosed soffit is within its rating. It is not a wet location fixture, so keep it out of ceilings exposed to direct rain or spray.

Color temperature is field selectable at the fixture across 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K, so one part number covers warm residential corridors through 5000K utility spaces. That is useful for a property manager standardizing stock across mixed buildings: buy one item and set it to match whatever is already in the ceiling. The Satco instruction sheet covers the switch position: https://assets.satco.com/dj18eqo18/image/upload/v1713463030/products/S11859/S11859_Instructions.pdf

Title 24 compliant, and cULus Classified. It is also FCC compliant and RoHS compliant, which covers the usual documentation an institutional or government spec asks for on a recessed LED.

Direct wire. The S11859 connects to line voltage 120V supply rather than screwing into an existing lamp socket, so the install is a wiring job, not a lamp swap. Full wiring detail is in Satco's spec sheet: https://media.satco.com/specsheets/pdf/S11859.pdf

Only the color temperature is selectable. Wattage is fixed at 10.5W drawing 800 lumens on 120V at 60Hz, so if you need multiple output levels across a job you'll need separate models rather than switching this one.

It is a dimmable 120V line voltage fixture, so it runs on a standard forward phase wall dimmer circuit rather than a low voltage 0-10V control. As with any LED retrofit, use an LED rated dimmer and keep the load within the dimmer's LED minimum.

A gimbal lets the LED module pivot inside the trim so you can aim the beam off vertical, which is what you want for wall washing artwork, grazing a feature wall, or correcting for a sloped ceiling. A fixed flat trim only throws straight down, so use it for general ambient coverage in corridors and open ceilings. The S11859 is the gimbaled version in a bronze finish.

No. The LED is integrated, so there is no socket and no replaceable lamp. Rated life is 50,000 hours, which is the point of using these in high ceilings and stairwells where relamping means a lift.

Bronze is the only finish on the S11859, ordered as MPN S11859. The base material is polycarbonate, a round utility style trim, so it won't corrode in a damp bathroom ceiling the way a painted steel trim can.
