SATCO Lighting S16436 24W T8 LED, CCT Selectable, 120-277V, Single or Double Ended, Type B Ballast Bypass

No. The S16436 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. If you want a lamp that runs on the ballast already in the fixture, you need a Type A plug-and-play tube instead. Budget for the rewire labor on every fixture in the job.

Either. The lamp accepts single ended or double ended wiring, so it works whether you bring line and neutral to one end or split hot to one end and neutral to the other. It runs on 120 to 277 volts at 50/60 Hz, which covers both residential 120V panels and commercial 277V lighting circuits.

The S16436 is field selectable among 4000K, 5000K and 6500K, so one stocked lamp covers cool white through daylight. Output shifts slightly with the setting: 3350 lumens at one position, 3450 at another, 3300 at the third. For a warehouse or shop you would typically run 5000K; 6500K reads as blue-white and is common in inspection or parking areas.

No. The S16436 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify for utility incentive programs that require a DLC listing. It is Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant, which matters for California work and for avoiding RF interference in offices and healthcare spaces.

No. This 24W T8 LED is non-dimming and is not three-way capable. Put it on a switched circuit only. Wiring it to an existing dimmer can cause flicker or shorten lamp life, so the dimmer needs to be replaced with a standard switch.

The S16436 carries a damp location rating and is listed for indoor use. That covers enclosed areas with humidity or condensation, such as a mechanical room, covered breezeway or interior garage bay. It is not a wet location lamp, so do not use it anywhere exposed to direct water or weather.

Output runs 3300 to 3450 lumens depending on the CCT setting, with 83 CRI and a 360 degree beam spread so the tube throws light all around rather than in one direction. Satco rates it as a 100W incandescent equivalent. The 360 degree distribution means it works in open strip fixtures and wraps without a dark side.

Burning position is universal, so the 24W T8 LED can be installed horizontally, vertically or at any angle without affecting performance. That makes it usable in cove, sign and stairwell applications as well as standard overhead strips.

The lens is plastic with a frost finish and the base is polycarbonate. There is no glass tube to shatter, which is why these are commonly specified for food service, schools and warehouse aisles where glass breakage is a concern. The frost lens diffuses the LED array so you do not see individual diodes.
