SATCO Lighting S14988 8W A19 LED, Ceramic Orange, Medium Base, 360 degree Beam Angle, 120V

Yes. The S14988 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can go in a sealed or gasketed fixture where a non-enclosed-rated LED would cook itself. It's also universal burning position, so base up, base down, or horizontal all work. That combination covers most porch lanterns and enclosed carriage fixtures.

Outdoor use is fine, but only in damp locations. The S14988 carries a damp location rating and is listed for indoor and outdoor use, which means a covered porch, soffit, or enclosed lantern is in scope. A fixture that takes direct rain or standing water needs a wet-rated lamp instead.

The color is in the lamp itself, not a sleeve or a paint job over a white bulb. Satco lists the S14988 with a ceramic orange lens finish and a ceramic/glass base material, and the lamp is lensed. There is nothing to slip off or peel the way a gel or a plastic wrap does.

Each draws 0.067 amps at 120V, 60Hz. On a 15 amp branch circuit held to the usual 80 percent continuous load (12 amps), that's roughly 179 lamps before the circuit is the limiting factor, so in practice the fixture count and the wiring, not the lamps, decide the run. Useful when you're stringing a large seasonal display off one receptacle circuit.

It's a dimmable lamp, so it will run on a dimmer circuit. Worth knowing that dimming a colored LED changes brightness, not the color, so it stays orange all the way down rather than warming the way an incandescent does.

No. The S14988 is not a three-way lamp, so in a three-way socket it will simply light at one level (or not respond to the first click) rather than stepping through the settings. For a three-way fixture you need a lamp built for it, and the color options there are limited to standard white output.

The S14988 is an 8 watt LED rated as a 60 watt incandescent equivalent, so it draws about one seventh the power of the lamp it replaces. Keep in mind that the equivalency describes the lamp's output class; a colored lens always reads dimmer to the eye than a clear 60W, so don't size it as a task light.

All directions. The S14988 has a 360 degree beam spread, so it lights the full fixture the way a standard A-lamp does rather than pushing a cone one way. That matters in an open lantern or a bare-socket string where the bulb is seen from every side, and it's the reason a directional colored PAR or BR lamp isn't a substitute.

Rated life is 15,000 hours. Run 12 hours a night, every night, that's roughly 3.4 years before you're back up the ladder. For a seasonal display that only runs a few weeks a year, the practical limit is storage and handling, not lamp hours.

Yes, Satco flags the S14988 as lawful for sale in California, so it clears the state's lamp regulations. It's also FCC compliant, which is what you want to see on any LED going into a building where RF interference with other equipment is a concern.

Neither. The S14988 is a fixed ceramic orange lamp with no CCT selection, and orange is the only finish it's built in. If you need multiple colors across a display, you order a separate part number per color rather than switching one lamp.
