Satco Lighting S11901 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Satco S11901 T5 LED be installed in an existing fluorescent fixture with a ballast still wired in?
No. The S11901 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, which means it runs on line voltage directly and requires no ballast or external driver. The existing ballast has to be removed or bypassed and 120-277V brought to the sockets before the lamp goes in. Wiring is double ended, so one pin end takes line and the other takes neutral.
2) Will the S11901 fit a 6 inch T5 miniature bi-pin socket pair?
Yes. The lamp is a T5 shape, 6 inches long, with a miniature bi-pin base, so it drops into standard miniature bi-pin sockets spaced for a 6 inch T5. Confirm your socket centers match a 6 inch lamp before ordering a case.
3) Can this 2W T5 LED be put on a dimmer?
No. The S11901 is not dimmable and has no three-way function. On a dimming circuit it will either flicker or fail, so it needs to be on a plain switched line.
4) Is the S11901 T5 LED safe in a sealed or enclosed fixture, and can it go in a damp area?
It is an enclosed rated lamp, so a gasketed or fully enclosed housing is acceptable. Location rating is damp, which covers covered exterior soffits, walk-in coolers and bathrooms, but not wet locations with direct water exposure. Burning position is universal, so it can be mounted vertical, horizontal or base up.
5) How much light does a 2 watt T5 LED actually give, and what incandescent does it replace?
It puts out 150 lumens and is rated as a 15W incandescent equivalent at 2 watts of draw. That is task and accent level output, typical for under-cabinet, display, exit sign cabinets, and signage strips rather than general room lighting. Beam spread is 240 degrees, so light wraps most of the way around the tube.
6) Will a 6500K lamp match the other bulbs in my building?
6500K is a cold daylight white, the bluest end of the common range, and it will not match 3000K or 4000K lamps on adjacent fixtures. Color is fixed, not CCT selectable, so if you are standardizing a property on a warmer white, choose a different color temperature in the series instead. CRI is 82.
7) Does the Satco S11901 qualify for a utility rebate?
It is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under rebate programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing. It is Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant, which matters for California energy code projects and for sensitive electronic environments.
8) What current draw should I figure per lamp when loading a circuit with these T5 LEDs?
Draw is 0.017A at the low end of the voltage range down to 0.007A at the high end, at 2 watts and 50/60Hz. At those numbers you can put a large number of lamps on a single branch circuit, which is the usual case in signage and display runs.
9) Is the Satco 2W T5 LED tube glass or plastic?
The tube and base material are glass with a frosted lens, so handle it like a lamp rather than a shatterproof plastic tube. It weighs 0.05 lb. The frost diffuses the LEDs so individual diodes are less visible in an open fixture.
10) How long will these last before maintenance has to relamp?
Rated average life is 50,000 hours. On a 12 hour daily display or signage schedule that is roughly 11 years of service, which is the main reason facilities swap miniature bi-pin fluorescents out for this lamp.
