Satco Lighting S16431 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I put the Satco S16431 T8 LED tube straight into my existing fluorescent fixture without rewiring?
No. The S16431 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, which means the fixture has to be rewired to feed line voltage directly to the sockets and the existing ballast removed or disconnected. Drop it into a ballasted fixture as-is and it will not operate. If you want a no-rewire swap, you need a Type A (ballast-compatible) tube instead.
2) How do I set the color temperature on the Satco S16431, and what options does it give me?
It is a CCT selectable lamp with three field-settable choices: 4000K, 5000K, and 6500K. That lets a property manager stock one SKU and match 4000K neutral white in offices or 5000K/6500K in shops and parking structures. Output shifts slightly with the setting, 1250 lumens at one step, 1300 at another, 1200 at the third, with 83 CRI.
3) Can I dim these Satco 9W T8 LED tubes on an existing dimmer?
No, the S16431 is not dimmable. Put it on a dimming circuit and you risk flicker or driver damage. Use it on a standard switched circuit, and specify a dimmable LED tube if the space needs level control.
4) Will the Satco S16431 work on both 120V and 277V circuits in a commercial building?
Yes, it runs on any line voltage from 120V to 277V at 50/60Hz, so the same lamp works in 120V tenant spaces and 277V commercial lighting circuits. Current draw is 0.075-0.032A depending on the supply voltage.
5) Does single or double ended wiring matter for this Satco ballast bypass LED tube?
It accepts either. The S16431 can be wired single ended (line and neutral to one end) or double ended (line to one end, neutral to the other), so you can match whatever wiring approach the fixture rewire uses. Either way it is a Type B lamp and the ballast must be out of the circuit.
6) Can the Satco S16431 be installed in a damp location like a covered walkway or parking garage?
It carries a damp location rating and is an indoor lamp, so covered, unheated areas where condensation occurs are acceptable, provided the fixture itself is rated for that location. It is not for wet locations or direct exposure to rain. Burning position is universal, so vertical or horizontal mounting is fine.
7) Will this Satco T8 LED qualify for a DLC utility rebate?
No. The S16431 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify for utility programs that require a DLC listing. It is Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant, which covers California energy code documentation needs.
8) How much light does a 9 watt LED tube actually put out compared to what I am replacing?
Output is 1200 to 1300 lumens depending on the selected color temperature, drawing 9 watts, with a 360 degree beam spread and a frosted plastic lens for even distribution. Satco rates it as a 40W incandescent equivalent and at 50,000 average rated hours, which is the figure to use for relamp cycles in a maintenance plan.
9) Is the Satco S16431 glass or plastic? I need shatter resistance for a food service area.
The lamp uses a plastic lens with a polycarbonate base, so there is no glass tube to break the way a fluorescent lamp does. That matters in kitchens, corridors, and other areas where a glass lamp failure means a cleanup.
