SATCO Lighting S11967 30W T8 LED, 6 Foot, 6500K, Recessed Double Contact Base, 4200 Lumens, Type B, Ballast Bypass, Double Ended Wiring

No. The S11967 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the existing fluorescent ballast has to be removed and the sockets wired directly to line voltage. It is double ended, meaning line goes to one end and neutral to the other. If you want a lamp that runs on the existing ballast, you need a Type A plug-and-play tube instead.

The S11967 is an enclosed rated lamp, so a sealed or gasketed fixture is fine. It carries a damp location rating and is listed for indoor or outdoor use, which covers covered walkways, canopies, and parking garages. Damp is not wet, so do not use it where it will take direct rain or hose spray.

The S11967 runs on 120V through 277V at 50/60Hz, drawing 0.250A at the low end of the range down to 0.108A at the high end. That covers both 120V residential-style circuits and 277V commercial lighting branch circuits, so the same lamp works across a mixed facility.

6500K is daylight white, a crisp blue-white. It reads well in warehouses, shops, parking structures, and utility spaces, and it is usually too cold for an office or hospitality area where 3500K to 4000K is the norm. CRI is 82, and the frosted glass lens diffuses the output across a 160 degree beam spread. The color temperature is fixed, not selectable.

No. This 30W T8 is not dimmable, and it is not three-way. Wire it to a straight on/off switch or a contactor. If the space needs dimming control, this is the wrong lamp.

The S11967 puts out 4200 lumens on 30 watts and is rated as a 125W incandescent equivalent, with 50,000 average rated hours. For a lamp-for-lamp swap in a high-output strip, run a quick lumen comparison against what is in the fixture now, since HO fluorescents vary widely by vintage and ballast factor.

It is not DLC listed, which is what most utility prescriptive rebate programs require for linear LED lamps, so plan on it not qualifying. It is Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant, so it will satisfy California energy code and emissions requirements on a specification.

No. Burning position is universal, so it can run horizontal in a strip, vertical in a cove, or anywhere in between with no effect on operation.

Glass, both the lens and the lamp body, with a frosted finish and a white housing. Glass handles heat well in enclosed fixtures but will break if dropped, so handle it like you would a fluorescent lamp during install.
