Satco Lighting S11955 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I install the Satco S11955 T8 LED tube without removing the existing fluorescent ballast?
No. The S11955 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the fixture's fluorescent ballast has to be removed or disconnected and line voltage wired directly to the sockets. If you want a tube that runs on the existing ballast, you need a Type A plug-and-play lamp instead.
2) Is the Satco S11955 single-ended or double-ended wiring?
Single ended. Line and neutral both land at one end of the lamp, with the opposite end carrying no power. That means one socket on each fixture position must be a non-shunted socket for the live end. Wire it wrong and the lamp won't light.
3) What voltage can the Satco S11955 run on, and will it work on a 277V commercial circuit?
It accepts 120V through 277V at 50/60Hz, so it runs on standard 120V building power and on 277V commercial lighting circuits without a different part number. Current draw ranges 0.250A down to 0.108A across that voltage span.
4) Can I dim the Satco S11955 T8 LED on my existing dimmer?
No, this lamp is non-dimmable. Putting it on a dimming circuit risks flicker and early failure. For dimmed areas such as conference rooms or auditoriums, specify a dimmable LED tube and matched driver instead.
5) How bright is the 30W Satco S11955 compared to the lamp I'm replacing?
4000 lumens from 30 watts, which Satco rates as a 125W incandescent equivalent. The 4000K color is a neutral white commonly used in offices, corridors, retail and shops, and the 160 degree beam spread gives broad coverage across a troffer or strip fixture.
6) Will the S11955 match 4000K tubes already installed in the rest of my building?
Color temperature is fixed at 4000K with no field-selectable CCT, so every lamp out of the box is the same neutral white. Color rendering is 83 CRI. If other fixtures in the space are 3500K or 5000K, the difference will be visible, so keep a given room or corridor on one temperature.
7) Can I use the Satco S11955 in a parking garage, covered walkway or wash-down area?
It's rated for indoor use in damp locations only. Covered areas protected from direct water, such as a garage or a bathroom, are fine. Anywhere exposed to rain, spray or hose-down needs a wet-rated fixture and lamp.
8) Does the Satco S11955 qualify for a utility rebate?
It is not DLC listed, so it won't qualify for utility rebate programs that require DLC qualification. It is Title 24 compliant, which matters for California energy code work, and FCC compliant.
9) Can the Satco S11955 be mounted vertically or in a wall-mounted fixture?
Burning position is universal, so it can be run horizontal, vertical, or base up or down without affecting rated life. That makes it usable in strip fixtures, troffers, wraps and vertical wall-mount units alike.
10) How long will these T8 LED tubes last before my crew has to go back up the ladder?
Rated at 50,000 average hours. On a 12 hour per day office or retail schedule that's roughly 11 years of service, which is why these are commonly specified for high-ceiling and hard-to-reach fixtures where relamping labor is the real cost.
11) Is the Satco S11955 a glass tube or plastic, and does it have a frosted lens?
Glass, with a frosted lens finish and a white housing. The frost diffuses the diodes so you see an even line of light rather than individual points. Glass is less prone to yellowing than plastic but handle it like a lamp, not a shatterproof tube.
