SATCO Lighting S12247 12W, AR111, COB LED, 900 Lumens, G53 Base, 80 CRI, 3000K, 12V, 36 Degree, Floodlight Bulb

No. The S12247 is a non-dimming lamp. Put it on a dimmer circuit and you risk flicker, buzz, or early failure. If the fixture is fed from a dimmed low-voltage circuit, leave the dimmer wide open or swap it for a plain switch before installing.

It runs on 12 volts only, drawing 1.0 amp at 60 Hz. AR111 fixtures are normally fed by a low-voltage transformer, so the existing transformer stays in place. Never wire this lamp to 120V line voltage. Size the transformer for the load: at 12W per lamp you can run several off a typical track or remote transformer, and the 1.0A draw makes that math easy.

Yes, if those fixtures take a G53 base. The S12247 uses the standard G53 two-pin base and the AR111 lamp shape, so it seats in the same holder as the halogen AR111 it replaces. Burning position is universal, so it can be aimed up, down, or horizontally without affecting life.

It is rated for indoor use and damp locations, so an enclosed bathroom or a covered interior-adjacent soffit is acceptable. It is not a wet location lamp. Anywhere exposed to direct rain, sprinklers, or standing water needs a wet-rated lamp and fixture instead.

36 degrees is a flood beam. It washes a wall section, a piece of artwork with a border, or a retail display shelf with even light rather than punching a tight pool. If you are highlighting a single small object or working from a high ceiling and want a defined circle, you want a narrower AR111 spot instead. For general accent and grazing work at normal ceiling heights, 36 degrees is the workhorse.

The S12247 is fixed at 3000K warm white with 80 CRI. There is no CCT-selectable switch on it, so what you order is what you get. If your other lamps are 2700K the difference will read as visibly cooler side by side, and against 4000K this will look noticeably warmer. For color-critical retail or gallery work where you are judging merchandise or artwork, 80 CRI is the general-purpose tier, not the high-CRI tier.

Yes, the S12247 is Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant. Note that it is not DLC listed, so it will not qualify for utility rebate programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing.

Rated 30,000 average hours. Run 12 hours a day in a store, that is close to seven years of service. The relamping labor savings is usually the bigger number than the energy savings on high or hard-to-reach track, which is the main argument for swapping AR111 halogens out of display and lobby fixtures.

Clear lens in polystyrene plastic, with a white plastic housing and a COB LED behind it. A clear lens keeps the 36 degree beam crisp at the edge rather than softening it, which is what you want for accent work. It also means the source is visible from below, so in a low open fixture aim it out of direct sightlines.

Satco MPN S12247. One configuration, clear lens, so there is no finish or color temperature option to specify when you standardize a facility on it.
