SATCO Lighting S13151 72W, LED HID Replacement, 5K, EX39, Type B Ballast Bypass, 120-277V, Dimmable

Yes. The S13151 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the existing metal halide or HPS ballast has to be removed or bypassed and line voltage wired directly to the socket. It accepts 120-277V line input, so it works on either a 120V or a 277V circuit once the fixture is rewired. If you want a lamp you can thread in without touching the wiring, you need a Type A (ballast-compatible) lamp instead, not this one.

At 11,000 lumens delivered from 72 watts, the S13151 lands in the range normally covered by a 250W metal halide or 250W HPS lamp, since HID output drops substantially over life while LED holds closer to initial output. For high bay, parking garage, and wall pack retrofits, match on lumens rather than on the old wattage number.

It is a dimmable lamp running at 5000K, a daylight white tone that reads crisp and slightly blue, which is what most warehouse, garage, and exterior area lighting specs call for. Color rendering is 80+ CRI. Because it is a ballast bypass lamp, dimming is handled by a line voltage dimmer on the circuit, not by the old HID gear.

The S13151 has built-in 6kV surge protection, which covers the typical transients on exterior pole and industrial branch circuits. On sites with repeated lightning exposure or heavy inductive switching, facility crews still commonly add external surge protection at the panel or fixture.

The lamp weighs 2.09 lb, which is heavier than the HID lamp it replaces because of the LED heat sink. In pendant or socket-only mounts, confirm the porcelain socket and its support are sound before hanging the weight off it, especially in older high bays.

The lamp body is plastic over the LED assembly, and like all HID replacement lamps it depends on airflow around the housing to shed heat. Enclosed and gasketed fixtures trap that heat, so verify the enclosed rating on the manufacturer spec sheet for S13151 before putting it in a sealed wall pack or acorn globe.

Order by Satco part number S13151. It is a single configuration, white finish, 72W, 5000K, EX39, so every unit you buy is identical, which is what you want when you are relamping a whole garage or warehouse and need consistent color across bays. Mixing 5000K with 4000K lamps on the same ceiling is visible.
