Satco Lighting S12438 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Satco S12438 A19 LED go in an enclosed fixture?
Yes. The S12438 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can be installed in a closed ceiling fixture, a jelly jar, or a globe without voiding its rating. It also carries a Wet location rating and is listed for both indoor and outdoor use, which covers exterior porch and soffit fixtures.
2) Will this 11W A19 LED actually match the brightness of the 75W incandescent bulbs I'm pulling out?
It puts out 1100 lumens on 11 watts and is rated as a 75W incandescent replacement, so the light level is comparable while drawing about 0.092 amps at 120V. Color is 2700K soft white, the same warm tone as the incandescent you're removing, so it won't look bluer than the rest of the room.
3) Is the Satco S12438 dimmable, and will it work on a three-way lamp socket?
Dimmable, yes, on a 120V 60Hz circuit. Three-way, no. The S12438 is a single-level lamp, so in a three-way socket it will run at one output on all positions. For three-way table lamps you need a bulb specifically built for three-way switching.
4) For a rental turnover or apartment fleet, how long should these last and how many come in a pack?
Rated at 15,000 average hours, and they ship four to a pack, so one pack covers a small unit's fixtures in a single turn. Standardizing on the 2700K soft white version keeps every unit reading the same warm color when tenants see a mix of rooms.
5) Can I mount this bulb base-up in a recessed can or sideways in a wall sconce?
Any orientation works. Burning position is universal, so base-up in a downlight, base-down in a pendant, or horizontal in a sconce are all fine. The 320 degree beam spread means it throws light nearly all the way around rather than in one direction, which suits open shades and bare-socket fixtures.
6) Is the color rendering good enough for retail display or hospitality guest rooms?
CRI is 90, which is the threshold most hospitality and retail specs call for when color accuracy on skin tones, fabric, and finishes matters. Paired with the 2700K warm tone it reads like incandescent rather than flat white light.
7) Is the Satco S12438 a color-changing or tunable bulb?
No. It is fixed at 2700K soft white with no CCT selectable switch, so you cannot field-adjust it to 3000K or 4000K. If you need one bulb to cover several color temperatures across a building, look for a bulb listing a selectable CCT option.
8) What is this bulb made of, and is it a filament-style LED?
Construction is aluminum and glass, and it uses LED filament emitters behind a soft white lens rather than a single chip-on-board diode. That is what gives it the wide 320 degree distribution instead of a forward-throwing pattern.
9) Does the S12438 qualify for DLC rebates on a commercial retrofit?
No, it is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under utility programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing. It is FCC compliant and marked lawful for sale in California, which matters for jobs in Title 20 jurisdictions.
