SATCO Lighting S13130 16W LED HID Replacement, ED23, 5000K, Medium Base, 120-277V, Type B Ballast Bypass

Yes. The S13130 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the existing HID ballast has to be removed or bypassed and line voltage wired directly to the socket. It will not run on an existing metal halide or HPS ballast. Wiring is 120-277V, 60Hz, so it works on either common commercial circuit. This is electrician work in most jurisdictions, and the fixture should be labeled after conversion so the next person doesn't reinstall a ballasted lamp.

The S13130 draws 16 watts and puts out 2000 lumens, rated as a 125W incandescent equivalent. For a property manager doing a lamp-for-lamp swap, compare the lumen number against what is currently in the fixture rather than the old wattage, because 2000 lumens is well below what a larger metal halide lamp produces. Current draw is 0.133A at the low end of the voltage range down to 0.058A at the high end.

Yes on both counts. The S13130 carries a wet location rating and is listed for indoor or outdoor use, and its enclosure rating covers enclosed as well as open fixtures. That makes it usable in gasketed wall packs, canopy fixtures, and post tops, which is where many screw-in LED lamps are ruled out.

Burning position is universal, so it can be installed base up, base down, or horizontal without affecting performance. Light distribution is 360 degrees, so in a base-up fixture you rely on the reflector to throw light down rather than the lamp itself being directional.

No. The S13130 is a non-dimming lamp. If it is installed on a circuit with a dimmer or on a legacy bi-level HID control, the dimmer needs to come out or be bypassed. It is also not a three-way lamp and the color temperature is fixed, not selectable.

The S13130 is fixed at 5000K, a cool daylight white with a CRI of 80. That is a close visual match to most metal halide lamps it would be replacing, but noticeably cooler and bluer than a 3000K or 4000K LED. For a fleet of fixtures, standardize on one CCT across the space, because mixing 5000K with 4000K in the same bay is obvious from the floor.

No. This lamp is not DLC listed and is not Title 24 compliant, so it will not support a DLC-based utility rebate application or a California Title 24 compliance path. It is FCC compliant. Institutional buyers pursuing rebate funding should spec a DLC-listed product instead.

Rated average life is 25,000 hours. On a dusk-to-dawn exterior schedule of roughly 4,000 hours a year that is about six years between relamps, which is the main maintenance argument for the conversion since the ballast is out of the circuit and can no longer fail.

It is an ED23 shape with a white glass lens, built from glass, metal and plastic. ED23 is the classic bulbous HID envelope, so it occupies the same general footprint as the metal halide lamp being removed. Confirm the overall length clearance in a tight reflector or refractor before ordering a full building's worth.
