SATCO Lighting S16432 11W T8 LED, CCT Selectable, 120-277V, Single or Double Ended, Type B Ballast Bypass

No. The S16432 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, which means the existing fluorescent ballast has to be removed and line voltage wired directly to the sockets. It runs on 120V to 277V at 50/60Hz, so it works on either leg of a commercial service once the fixture is rewired. It can be wired single ended or double ended, which gives you flexibility on how the sockets are fed. If you want a lamp that drops into a working ballast with no wiring, you need a Type A plug-and-play tube instead.

The S16432 is field selectable among 4000K, 5000K and 6500K, so one lamp covers cool white through daylight. Output shifts slightly with the setting: 1500 lumens at the 4000K setting, 1600 at 5000K, and 1450 at 6500K, with current draw running 0.092A down to 0.040A across the range. For a building where you are standardizing on one SKU across parking structures, shops and corridors, that lets you stock a single tube and set it per area.

No. The 11W selectable T8 is not DLC listed, so it will not qualify for utility incentive programs that require a DLC listing. It is FCC compliant and Title 24 compliant, which matters for California projects. If the rebate is driving the job, pick a DLC listed tube instead.

No. The 11W T8 LED is non-dimming and is not three-way capable. On a dimmed circuit you will get flicker, no response, or driver damage, so it belongs on a plain switched line-voltage circuit only. If the space needs dimming, specify a dimmable Type B tube and a compatible control.

The S16432 carries a damp location rating and is classified for indoor use. That covers covered walkways, parking structures and unheated storage where condensation forms, but not direct exposure to rain or sprinkler spray. For those, you need a wet location rated lamp and fixture.

Yes. Burning position is universal, so the tube can run horizontal, vertical, or at any angle without affecting operation. Rated life is 50,000 hours in any orientation.

Plastic. The lens is frosted plastic and the base is polycarbonate, so there is no glass to shatter. That is a real advantage in shops, kitchens and corridors where a broken glass tube means a cleanup and a contamination issue. The frost diffuses the LED sources so you do not see individual diodes.
