Satco Lighting S16441 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Satco S16441 T8 LED tube need the existing fluorescent ballast, or does it have to be removed?
The S16441 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the existing fluorescent ballast must be removed and line voltage wired directly to the sockets. It runs on 120V to 277V at 50/60Hz, which covers both residential and commercial panels. If you want a lamp that drops into an existing ballast with no rewiring, this is the wrong type of tube.
2) How do I set the color temperature on the Satco S16441, and what are the choices?
It is a CCT selectable lamp with three settings: 4000K, 5000K and 6500K. Output shifts slightly with the setting, 5800 lumens at 4000K, 6000 at 5000K and 5700 at 6500K. For a fleet of fixtures across a building, pick one setting and stick to it so the openings match; CRI is 83 at any setting.
3) Can the Satco S16441 42W T8 LED be put on a dimmer?
No. The 42W CCT selectable T8 is non-dimming, and it is not a three-way lamp either. On a dimmer circuit expect flicker or no start. Leave it on a straight switched or occupancy-sensor circuit.
4) Does the Satco S16441 qualify for a DLC utility rebate?
No. The 42W T8 LED is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under rebate programs that require a DLC listing. It is Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant, which matters for California work and for keeping RF interference out of nearby electronics.
5) Can I wire the Satco S16441 single ended or does power have to go to both ends?
Either. The 42W T8 LED is single or double ended, so you can bring line and neutral to one end or split them across both ends depending on how the fixture is laid out. That flexibility is useful when you are retrofitting a strip fixture whose existing wiring only reaches one tombstone.
6) Is this T8 LED tube rated for a parking garage, cooler, or other damp area?
The S16441 carries a Damp location rating and is classified for indoor use, so it works in damp indoor spots like covered walkways or garages inside an enclosed fixture. It is not a wet location lamp, so do not use it where it will see direct water or weather.
7) What current draw should I figure for the Satco S16441 when sizing a circuit?
Draw runs 0.350A at the low end of the voltage range down to 0.152A at the high end, at 42 watts per lamp. Use the 120V figure of 0.350A when you are totalling lamps on a 120V branch circuit for a retrofit.
8) Can this LED tube be mounted vertically or in a sign fixture?
Burning position is universal, so the lamp can run horizontal, vertical, or at any angle without derating. Light spreads a full 360 degrees around the tube, so it fills a wraparound or open strip fixture rather than throwing in one direction only.
9) Is the Satco S16441 glass or plastic?
Plastic. The lens is frosted plastic and the base is polycarbonate, so there is no glass to shatter in a shop, garage, or food-adjacent area. The frost diffuses the LED array instead of showing individual diodes.
