Satco Lighting S13161 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Satco S13161 LED lamp go straight into an existing fixture with a ballast still in it?
No. The S13161 is a ballast bypass (Type B) lamp, so the existing ballast has to be removed or bypassed and line voltage wired directly to the socket. Leaving the ballast in circuit will not work. Once bypassed it runs on anything from 100 to 277 volts at 50/60Hz, which covers both 120V residential and 277V commercial lighting circuits.
2) Will the Satco S13161 work on a dimmer switch?
It will not. The S13161 is non-dimming and it is not a three-way lamp either, so it needs a plain on/off switch. Putting it on a dimmer or in a three-way socket risks flicker, buzz, or no light at all. For dimming applications pick a lamp specifically listed as dimmable.
3) How do I set the color temperature on the Satco S13161 ColorQuick bulb?
It is a field-selectable lamp offering 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K, picked with the ColorQuick selector on the lamp before installation. That means one stocked part can match warm white lobby fixtures, neutral 4000K corridors, and 5000K shop or garage lighting, which is why maintenance crews carry it as a single SKU instead of three.
4) Can the Satco S13161 be used in a fully enclosed fixture or outdoors?
It is an enclosed rated lamp, so sealed jelly-jar, drum, and vapor-tight fixtures are fine, which is where most LED lamps fail early from heat. It is rated for damp locations and suitable indoors or outdoors, meaning covered porches, canopies, and breezeways are in scope but direct rain exposure, wet-location duty, is not.
5) Does the light output change depending on which color temperature I select on the S13161?
Yes, slightly. Output runs 3000 lumens at the warm setting, 3375 lumens in the middle, and 3250 lumens at the top setting, all from 25 watts. Current draw shifts across the range too, 0.250A down to 0.090A depending on setting and supply voltage. CRI is 80 at all settings.
6) Is the Satco S13161 DLC listed for utility rebates?
No, the S13161 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under rebate programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing. It is FCC compliant. If a rebate is driving the project, pick a lamp carrying the DLC listing instead.
7) Will the Satco S13161 throw light in all directions like the incandescent it replaces?
Close to it. Beam spread is 280 degrees through a frosted polycarbonate lens, so light wraps around the lamp rather than firing in one direction. That keeps it usable in open shades, pendants, and globes where a directional LED would leave the top of the fixture dark.
8) How long does the Satco 25W ColorQuick A-Plus lamp last before relamping?
Average rated life is 50,000 hours. On a 12-hour-a-day corridor or exterior schedule that is over 11 years of service, which is the argument for using it in high-ceiling or hard-to-reach sockets where the labor to change a lamp costs more than the lamp.
