SATCO Lighting S11868 10W LED, Fire Rated 4in, Direct Wire Downlight, Round Shape, White Finish, CCT Selectable, 120-277V, Dimmable

Fire rated is what this fixture is built for. The S11868 is a fire rated 4 inch direct wire downlight, and it carries a cULus certification. It is also California Title 24 listed, which matters if you are working in California residential or non-residential jobs where T24 compliance is checked at inspection.

It is a 4 inch downlight with an outside diameter of 4.75 inches and a height of just 0.69 inches, so the trim overlaps a nominal 4 inch opening. The shallow 0.69 inch body is why it goes into ceilings where a can will not fit, but the driver is remote, so you need room in the plenum for the driver and the whip alongside the ceiling opening.

Yes, it takes anything from 120V to 277V at 50/60Hz, so the same part number works on a 120V residential circuit and a 277V commercial lighting branch. For a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing across a mixed portfolio, that means one SKU on the shelf instead of separate 120V and 277V stock.

It carries a Wet location rating, so it can go over a tub or shower or in a damp covered area. Satco lists it as an indoor fixture, so treat the wet rating as protection against moisture in indoor spaces like bathrooms and laundry, not as permission to hang it in open weather.

No ordering decision on color. The S11868 is CCT selectable in the field across 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K, so one part number covers warm residential corridors at 2700K and cooler back-of-house or clinical spaces at 4000K or 5000K. You set it at the fixture during install, which is what lets a facility stock a single downlight for the whole building.

No can required. This is a direct wire downlight, meaning it connects straight to building wiring rather than screwing into a lamp socket in an existing housing. Mounting is to the ceiling. The LED is integrated, so there is no lamp to replace, and because the driver is remote it mounts separately from the 0.69 inch deep fixture body.

The fixture is dimmable, and the driver is remote rather than built into the trim, so the dimming compatibility comes down to the driver and the control you pair it with. Satco publishes the wiring and dimming detail in the S11868 installation instructions and spec sheet, and that is the document to match against the dimmer already on the wall before you commit to a floor's worth of them.

Rated at 50,000 hours. Run 12 hours a day that is over 11 years, which is the argument for putting an integrated LED in a stairwell, high lobby ceiling or anywhere a lift has to come out. There is no lamp to change, so at end of life you are replacing the fixture, not a bulb.

Both are covered. The S11868 is FCC compliant, which matters where LED drivers sit near sensitive electronics in healthcare or AV spaces, and it is RoHS compliant for restricted-substance requirements on government and institutional submittals. Add the cULus certification and California T24 listing and it clears the usual boxes on a submittal package.

The body is aluminum and steel, not plastic, which is what carries heat away from the LED and is part of why the fire rated assembly performs. The trim is a round white finish, 4.75 inches across, so it reads as a standard 4 inch downlight against the other openings in a ceiling grid or drywall run.
