SATCO Lighting S12444 17W, A21 LED, Frost Finish, Medium Base, 3000K, 120V

Yes. The S12444 carries a wet location rating and is listed for both indoor and outdoor use, so it can go in exposed porch fixtures, carriage lights, and covered walkway cans. Burning position is universal, so base-up, base-down, or horizontal all work without affecting rated life.

The bulb is dimmable on 120V, 60Hz line voltage. It is not a three-way lamp, so it will not step through low/medium/high in a three-way socket; in that socket it simply runs at full output. For dimming, pair it with an LED-rated dimmer rather than an older incandescent unit, since the lamp only draws 0.142 amps and legacy dimmers often need a higher minimum load to run smoothly.

3000K is a soft white that reads slightly cleaner and less yellow than 2700K. It is a fixed color temperature, not tunable, so every S12444 on the job will match the others exactly. If your existing lamps are 2700K, you will see the difference in a shared space, so standardize a room or a floor at a time rather than mixing within one fixture group.

CRI is 90, which is the threshold most hospitality and retail specs call for when color accuracy on merchandise, skin tones, or finishes matters. Combined with 2000 lumens at 3000K, it suits guest rooms, lobbies, and display areas where a standard 80 CRI lamp would wash out color.

Close to it. Beam spread is 300 degrees, so it distributes light nearly all the way around the lamp instead of firing forward like a reflector. That makes it a straight swap in table lamps, open shades, ceiling fans, and globes where the old bulb lit the whole room. It is not the bulb for recessed downlights that need a controlled beam.

No. The S12444 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify for rebate programs that require a DLC listing. It is FCC compliant, and Satco marks it lawful for sale in California, which covers the state's lamp regulations.

Rated average life is 15,000 hours. At roughly 12 hours a day on a common-area or exterior photocell circuit, that works out to about three and a half years between changes, which is why it is a reasonable standardization choice for stairwells, corridors, and entries where ladder time costs more than the lamp.

Frost finish on a glass envelope. The coating diffuses the LED sources so you get even light with no visible hot spots, which is what you want in an open shade or a bare-socket fixture where a clear lamp would show glare.

Each S12444 pulls 0.142 amps at 120V, 60Hz. That means a 15 amp lighting branch circuit loaded to 80 percent (12 amps) has room for far more of these than a code-sensible fixture count would ever put on one run, so lamp current is rarely the limiting factor when relamping incandescent circuits to this LED.
