Satco Lighting S11975 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Satco S11975 T8 LED tube run on my existing fluorescent ballast, or do I have to rewire the fixture?
Either way works. The S11975 is a dual mode hybrid Type A/B lamp: it will operate on an existing ballast (Type A) or you can bypass the ballast and wire line voltage direct to the sockets (Type B). That means you can do a straight lamp swap now and convert to ballast bypass later when the ballast fails, without buying a different lamp.
2) Does this Satco T8 LED fit a standard 4 foot fluorescent socket?
Yes. It is a 48 inch T8 tube on a G13 medium bi-pin base, which is the same lamp holder a standard 4 foot F32T8 fluorescent uses. No socket change is needed for Type A operation.
3) Will the S11975 work on 277 volt circuits in a commercial building?
Yes, it is rated 120V to 277V at 50/60Hz, so the same lamp covers 120V tenant spaces and 277V commercial lighting branch circuits. Current draw runs 0.100 to 0.043A across that voltage range.
4) Can I use this T8 LED tube in an enclosed wraparound or vaportight fixture?
Yes. The S11975 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can go into sealed wraps and lensed fixtures where heat builds up. It is rated for damp locations and indoor use, which covers covered walkways, parking garages under cover, and kitchens, but not direct wet exposure outdoors.
5) Does this Satco LED tube qualify for utility rebates or Title 24 projects?
The S11975 is DLC approved and Title 24 compliant, which is what most utility rebate programs and California energy code projects ask for. It is also FCC compliant for EMI.
6) Will a 12W T8 LED tube be bright enough to replace the 32W fluorescent tubes in my office troffers?
The S11975 puts out 1700 lumens at 12 watts in 3500K neutral white, with a CRI of 82 and a 210 degree beam spread. In a multi-lamp troffer that is the typical modern low-wattage T8 LED output level. If your space is currently lit by high-output 32W fluorescents and you need to match footcandles exactly, run the lumen math per fixture before you standardize a building on it.
7) Is this T8 LED dimmable or color selectable?
No on both counts. The S11975 is fixed at 3500K with no CCT selection switch, and it is not a three-way or color tunable lamp. If you need multiple color temperatures across a building from one SKU, look for a CCT selectable T8 instead.
8) Can these tubes be mounted vertically or in a strip at any angle?
Burning position is universal, so the lamp can be installed horizontally, vertically, or at any angle without affecting rated life. Rated average life is 50,000 hours.
9) Is the S11975 a glass tube or plastic?
It uses a frosted glass lens over a white housing. Glass gives a cleaner diffusion and no yellowing, but it does mean handling care in high-abuse areas such as gyms or shops where a coated or plastic tube would be the better call.
