Satco Lighting S18404 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to remove the ballast to use the Satco S18404 LED PL lamp?
Yes. The S18404 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so it runs on line voltage direct to the socket and the existing ballast has to be removed or bypassed. Leaving the ballast in circuit will not work. The lamp accepts 120V through 277V at 50/60Hz, so it drops into either a 120V residential fixture or a 277V commercial circuit once rewired.
2) Can I put this LED PL lamp on a dimmer?
No. The S18404 is non-dimming. On a dimmer circuit expect flicker, buzz, or no start at all. If the fixture is on a dimmer, either replace the dimmer with a standard switch or pick a lamp rated for dimming.
3) Is this 5000K PL lamp OK in an enclosed fixture or a damp bathroom?
Enclosed rated, so it can go in a closed drum, wall sconce, or lensed ceiling fixture without voiding the rating. Location rating is damp, which covers bathrooms, covered exterior soffits and stairwells, but not wet locations with direct water exposure. Burning position is universal, so base up, base down or horizontal all work.
4) What CFL wattage does the Satco S18404 replace, and how much light does it actually put out?
It draws 4.5 watts and delivers 450 lumens, equivalent to a 40W incandescent. That output lines up with the common 9W to 13W twin-tube CFL it is meant to replace, so you get similar light at roughly a third of the load. Current draw is 0.038A at 120V down to 0.016A at 277V.
5) Will 5000K match the other bulbs already in my building?
5000K is a cool daylight white, and the lamp is fixed at that temperature (no field-selectable CCT). It will not blend with 2700K or 3000K warm lamps in the same space, so for a corridor or stairwell retrofit plan on changing the whole run. CRI is 80, typical for general commercial lighting.
6) Does a 360 degree LED PL lamp light a fixture the same way the CFL did?
Yes, the beam is full 360 degrees with a frosted plastic lens, so it throws light all the way around like the twin-tube CFL it replaces rather than in one direction. That matters in downlights and wall fixtures where a one-sided LED PL would leave the reflector dark.
7) Will the Satco S18404 qualify for a utility rebate?
It is not DLC listed, so it will not qualify under programs that require DLC listing. The lamp is FCC compliant, and rated life is 50,000 average hours. If your rebate paperwork requires DLC, you need a different lamp.
8) What is the exact part number and finish for ordering this Satco 4.5W LED PL lamp?
Order Satco S18404. It ships in one configuration, frosted lens with a white housing and a plastic G23 base, so there is no finish or color temperature choice to specify.
