SATCO Lighting S13163 35W, A-Plus 28, LED, CCT Selectable and Wattage Selectable, Extended Mogul Base, Type B, Ballast Bypass

No. The S13163 is a ballast bypass lamp, which means the existing HID ballast has to be removed or bypassed and line voltage wired straight to the socket. It runs on 100V-277V at 50/60Hz, so it covers the usual commercial input ranges once the fixture is rewired. It is a Type B lamp, so plan on an electrician touching the fixture, not just a screw-in swap.

The S13163 is rated as a 300W incandescent equivalent and delivers 4550 lumens on its high setting while drawing 35W. On the low setting it drops to 17W and 2380 lumens. For a retrofit, match the lumen output of what is coming out rather than the old wattage number.

Both are selectable on the lamp itself. Color runs 3000K, 4000K or 5000K via ColorQuick, and output switches between 35W and 17W via PowerQuick. That means one part number covers a warm-white lobby and a 5000K parking garage, so a property manager can stock a single SKU across mixed openings instead of three.

Yes, the S13163 is an enclosed rated lamp, so a sealed acorn, jelly jar or lensed wallpack is fair game. It also burns in any position, universal, so base-up, base-down or horizontal all work. Location rating is damp, which covers covered exterior and canopy applications but not direct wet exposure.

The S13163 is DLC approved, which is what most utility prescriptive rebate programs require for a commercial LED retrofit. It is also FCC compliant. For an institutional or MRO submittal, those are the two boxes on the form this lamp checks.

Wide. The beam spread is 280 degrees, close to omnidirectional, with a frosted polycarbonate lens to diffuse it. That suits high bays, area lights and open canopies where you want light thrown down and sideways. If you need a controlled beam on a facade or a sign, this is the wrong lamp type; pick a directional reflector lamp instead.

Draw is 0.350-0.126A at the 35W setting and 0.170-0.061A at 17W, the range tracking input voltage across 100V-277V. Higher voltage, lower amps. Size the branch circuit from the amp figure at your actual supply voltage rather than dividing watts, and remember the selectable wattage means a bank set to 17W loads the circuit less than half as hard.

AP28 is the lamp shape, an A-line profile in a 28 eighths diameter, paired with a white housing and a frosted lens. In an open fixture the white body reads clean rather than showing a bare heat sink, which matters on exposed pendant and post-top applications.
