SATCO Lighting S13154 152W, LED HID Replacement, 4K, EX39, Type B Ballast Bypass, 120-277V, Dimmable

Yes. The S13154 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 runs on 120-277V, 50/60Hz, drawing 1.267A at the low end of the voltage range down to 0.549A at the high end. If you leave the ballast in the circuit, the lamp will not operate correctly.

No. The S13154 is a base up burning position lamp only. Mounting it base down or horizontally falls outside its rated orientation, which matters in warehouse high bays where some fixtures are pendant and others are wall-mounted floods. For a fixture that holds the lamp any other way, you need an omnidirectional or universal burn position HID replacement.

At 152 watts it puts out 25,000 lumens, and Satco rates it against a 1000W incandescent equivalent. In practice that lumen package is what facilities use to pull out large-wattage metal halide and high pressure sodium high bays while cutting connected load. Color is 4000K neutral white with 82 CRI, which reads clean in a warehouse or shop without the blue cast of 5000K.

Yes, the S13154 is an enclosed rated lamp, so sealed and gasketed high bay housings are fair game. Many LED retrofit lamps are not enclosed rated and fail early when heat builds up inside a closed fixture. Location rating is damp, and it is listed for indoor or outdoor use, so covered loading docks and canopies work. Direct wet exposure does not.

The beam spread is 180 degrees, so it throws a broad flood pattern rather than a tight spot. That suits open warehouse aisles, shops, and gym spaces where you want even floor coverage from a single pendant. For narrow aisle racking where you want the light pushed straight down, a tighter beam angle lamp is the better choice.

The lamp is dimmable, per Satco's own designation for the S13154. Because it is a ballast bypass design wired to line voltage, dimming has to be handled by a line voltage control on the 120-277V feed, not by anything left over from the HID ballast circuit.

Average rated life is 50,000 hours. On a two-shift schedule around 4,000 hours a year, that is well over a decade before a scheduled relamp, which is the main reason facilities pull metal halide high bays that need a lamp every few years and a ballast after that.

It weighs 3.3 lb. That is heavy for a lamp, so a tired or heat-damaged porcelain socket in an older high bay should be inspected or replaced during the retrofit. Housing is white plastic with a clear glass lens.

No. It is fixed at 4000K with no CCT selector switch, so every lamp you order will match the next one. If you are standardizing a facility and some fixtures are already 4000K, this will blend; if the rest of the building is 5000K, you will see the difference.
