Satco Lighting S11902 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to remove the ballast to install the Satco S11902 T5 LED lamp?
Yes. The S11902 is a Type B lamp, so it runs on line voltage with no ballast or external driver. The existing fluorescent ballast has to come out and the sockets get rewired to line voltage before the lamp goes in. It is a double ended wiring design, which means line goes to one end and neutral to the other, not both pins on one end.
2) Will the Satco S11902 work on 277 volt circuits in a commercial building?
It runs anywhere from 120V through 277V at 50/60Hz, so the same lamp covers 120V residential circuits and 277V commercial lighting branch circuits. Current draw is 0.025-0.011A across that range.
3) Is this T5 LED safe to use in a fully enclosed fixture or a bathroom?
It is an enclosed rated lamp, so sealed and gasketed fixtures are fine, and it carries a Damp location rating, which covers bathrooms, covered exterior soffits, and similar damp spots. It is not rated for wet locations with direct water exposure.
4) What base does the S11902 use, and will it drop into my existing T5 sockets?
It uses a miniature bi-pin base in the standard T5 shape, so it seats in existing T5 miniature bi-pin sockets mechanically. The catch is electrical, not physical: the sockets must be rewired for line voltage double ended operation first, since this lamp bypasses the ballast.
5) What is the Satco S11902 replacing in terms of light output?
It is rated as a 25 watt incandescent equivalent, putting out 270 lumens on 3 watts. Color is 4000K neutral white with 82 CRI, and the frosted lens spreads light over a 240 degree beam angle, so it is close to omnidirectional rather than a one-sided panel.
6) Does this Satco T5 LED count toward California Title 24 compliance?
Yes, the S11902 is listed as Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so if a utility rebate program requires a DLC qualified product number, this lamp will not qualify for it.
7) Can the Satco S11902 be mounted base up, base down, or horizontally?
Burning position is universal, so it can go in any orientation without affecting life or output. That matters for undercabinet, sign, and display cases where the socket orientation is fixed by the fixture.
8) How long does the Satco S11902 last before relamping?
Average rated life is 50,000 hours. On a 12 hour a day schedule that is over eleven years of service, which is why maintenance crews standardize on Type B lamps once the ballasts are pulled: the next failure point after conversion is the lamp, not the ballast.
9) Is the color temperature on the S11902 switch selectable?
No. It is fixed at 4000K neutral white with no CCT selector switch. If you are relamping a space where other fixtures are 3000K or 5000K, this one will read visibly cooler or warmer next to them, so keep a single color temperature across the run.
