SATCO Lighting S12244 7W, AR111, COB LED, 520 Lumens, G53 Base, 80 CRI, 3000K, 12V, 12 degree Spotlight Bulb

No. The S12244 is a non-dimming lamp, so it has to run on a straight on/off circuit. Feed it through a dimmer and you'll get flicker, buzz, or no start at all. If the track or display run is already on a dimmer, either bypass the dimmer on that circuit or pick a dimmable AR111 instead.

It is a 12 volt lamp and needs a low voltage supply. The S12244 draws 7 watts at 0.583 amps on 12V, 60Hz, through a G53 pin base. It will not work wired directly to 120V. Size your existing magnetic or electronic transformer for the total load of every lamp on it, and note that many electronic transformers have a minimum load that a single 7W LED may not reach.

Yes, that is the swap it is built for. The S12244 is rated as a 50W incandescent equivalent, uses the same G53 two pin base as a halogen AR111, and runs on the same 12 volt supply, so it drops into existing low voltage AR111 heads. Power draw goes from roughly 50W to 7W per head, which also frees up capacity on the transformer.

3000K, a warm white, with 80 CRI color rendering. It is a fixed color temperature lamp, not color selectable, so what you order is what you get. If the rest of the space is on 2700K it will read noticeably cooler; if the adjacent heads are 3500K or 4000K it will read warmer. For a mixed run, standardize the whole group on one CCT.

It is an indoor lamp with a damp location rating. That covers a bathroom, a kitchen, or a covered exterior soffit where the fixture is shielded from direct water. It is not rated wet, so keep it out of open-to-weather fixtures, exposed canopies, or anywhere it can take rain or direct spray.

Yes, this 7W AR111 LED is Title 24 compliant, which matters if you are specifying for residential or commercial work in California. It is also FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so it will not qualify for utility rebate programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing.

Burning position is universal, so the lamp can be installed base up, base down, or aimed horizontally with no effect on its rating. That makes it workable in recessed cans, gimbal trims, track heads, and display fixtures alike.

The S12244 is rated for 30,000 average hours. On a retail schedule of roughly 12 hours a day that is around seven years of service, which is why these get spec'd for high-ceiling display and gallery lighting where relamping means renting a lift.

The reflector housing is white, the base is plastic, and the lens is clear polystyrene. A clear lens keeps the 12 degree beam crisp with a defined edge rather than diffusing it, which is what you want for accent work but also means the source is visible if the fixture is aimed toward sightlines.
