SATCO Lighting S11962 10.5W T8 LED, 4Ft, 4000K, Medium Bi Pin Base, 50000 Avg Rated Hours, 1700 Lumens, Type B, Ballast Bypass

No. The S11962 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the fluorescent ballast has to be removed or disconnected and line voltage wired directly to the sockets. It is not a plug-and-play lamp that runs off an existing ballast. If you want to leave the ballast in place, you need a Type A lamp instead.

Either. Satco lists the S11962 for single or double ended wiring, so it works whether you bring line and neutral to one end or split hot to one end and neutral to the other. The lamp uses a medium bi-pin base and runs on 120V to 277V at 50/60Hz, which covers both residential and commercial branch circuits.

Yes, the lamp is rated 120V to 277V, so the same part number works on 120V residential or small commercial circuits and on 277V building lighting panels. Current draw ranges from 0.088A down to 0.038A across that voltage span, which is what you use when counting lamps on a circuit.

The S11962 puts out 1700 lumens at 10.5 watts with a 210 degree beam spread, so light is thrown broadly rather than in a narrow strip. At 4000K it reads as neutral white, and CRI is 82. For a warehouse, corridor, or shop where the old T8 strips were lighting a wide area, a two or four lamp fixture of these covers the same footprint on a fraction of the load.

The S11962 is fixed at 4000K neutral white, with no color temperature selector on the lamp. If your other fixtures are running 3500K or 5000K tubes, you will see the difference down a corridor. Standardize a room or a floor at a time rather than mixing, since this lamp cannot be field-adjusted to another CCT.

Damp location rated, so covered outdoor areas like garages, breezeways, and canopies are fine as long as the lamp is not exposed to direct water or weather. Satco lists it for both indoor and outdoor use at that damp rating. Burning position is universal, so it can be mounted vertically, horizontally, or at an angle.

The S11962 is DLC approved, which is what most utility prescriptive rebate programs require for linear LED replacement lamps. Have the model number ready for the application; the lamp is also FCC compliant, which matters where RF interference is a concern around sensitive equipment.

Glass. Both the lens and base material on the S11962 are glass, with a gloss white lens finish and white housing. Worth knowing for areas where a shatter-resistant coated or plastic tube is specified, such as food handling or gym spaces, since this lamp is not described as shatterproof.

No. The S11962 is not a three-way lamp and carries no dimming rating, so put it on a straight on/off switched circuit. For dimmed or occupancy-controlled zones, specify a lamp or fixture rated for that control scheme.
