SATCO Lighting S12436 10.5W A19 LED, 75W Replacement, Clear, Medium Base, 2700K, 120V, 4-Pack

Yes. The S12436 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can go in a closed globe, jelly jar, or sealed ceiling fixture without the heat trapping problem that kills non-rated LEDs early. It also carries a wet location rating and is approved for indoor or outdoor use, so covered porches, soffits, and exterior sconces are fair game.

The lamp is dimmable on 120V, 60Hz line voltage. Like any LED filament lamp it needs a dimmer that handles LED loads; an older incandescent-only dimmer sized for a 75 watt bulb is seeing only 10.5 watts here, which is often below its minimum load and shows up as flicker or a dead bottom end. Ganging several of the four bulbs in the pack on one circuit helps meet that minimum.

It puts out 1100 lumens at 10.5 watts, which Satco rates as a 75 watt incandescent equivalent. Light spreads over a 320 degree beam angle, close to omnidirectional, so it fills a shade or a globe the way the old bulb did rather than throwing light one direction.

Clear is the point of this one. The S12436 uses LED filament construction in a clear glass envelope, so the filament strips are visible the way a vintage-style incandescent is, which suits open shades, cage fixtures, chandeliers, and bare-socket pendants. At 2700K with a CRI of 90, the color is warm white and renders skin tones and wood finishes closer to the incandescent it is replacing. If the socket is exposed at eye level and glare is a concern, a frosted or milky A19 is the better pick.

Each lamp draws 0.088A at 120V, 60Hz. That is a very low per-fixture load, so a lighting circuit that was previously maxed out on incandescents has substantial headroom after a relamp. Size the circuit to your own code calculation, but the current draw per bulb is the number you need.

No. The S12436 is not a three-way lamp. Put it in a three-way socket and you will get a single light level, usually on the highest position only. For a three-way table lamp you need a bulb specifically built as three-way.

Rated average life is 15,000 hours. On a common residential or corridor pattern of a few hours a day, that is years between changes rather than months, which is the argument for standardizing units on it. Each order is a 4-pack of the same clear 2700K lamp, so matching color across fixtures in a unit is straightforward.

No, it is fixed at 2700K warm white with no CCT selection switch. If you are relamping a building and want a cooler 3000K or 4000K look in some areas, you have to order a different lamp for those spaces rather than switching this one over.

It is not DLC approved, so it will not satisfy a rebate program that requires a DLC listing. The lamp is FCC compliant and is noted as lawful for sale in California.
