SATCO Lighting S21200 3W G16.5 LED, Clear, Candelabra Base, 90 CRI, 2700K, 120V

Yes. The S21200 is an enclosed rated lamp with a wet location rating, so it can go in a sealed outdoor fixture, a covered porch light, or a coach lantern where heat builds up. Most LED lamps fail early in enclosed housings because trapped heat cooks the driver; this one is rated for it. It is listed for both indoor and outdoor use.

It's dimmable on 120V, 60Hz line voltage. Draw is 0.025 amps per lamp, which is where dimming gets tricky in practice: a standard incandescent dimmer often has a minimum load well above what a handful of 3W LEDs pull, and below that you get flicker or dead travel at the bottom of the slider. On a multi-lamp chandelier the combined load is usually fine. On a two or three lamp sconce, pair them with an LED-rated dimmer.

Burning position is universal, so base up, base down, or horizontal all work. That matters on wall sconces and chandeliers where the socket points sideways, and on outdoor lanterns where the lamp hangs base up. No orientation restriction to design around.

Rated at 15,000 hours average. On a fixture running 12 hours a day that's a bit over three years between changes; on a lobby or exterior fixture burning 24/7 it's about 20 months. For a property manager relamping a corridor of chandeliers, that's the number to plan the cycle around, and the reason lift work drops off compared with 25W incandescents.

It's built as an LED filament lamp in a clear glass globe, so the light source reads as visible filament strands rather than a frosted diffuser or a plastic dome. That's the look you want in an exposed-socket chandelier, a vanity bar, or a candelabra fixture where the bulb is part of the design. Clear glass also means the filaments are bright points, so in a low sconce at eye level expect some glare compared with a frosted lamp.

90 CRI is the threshold most hospitality and retail specs call out, and the S21200 hits it at 2700K. Colors, skin tones, and finishes render close to what they look like under incandescent, which is why it works in guest rooms, restaurant dining areas, and merchandising fixtures where an 80 CRI lamp makes wood and fabric look flat. If your spec sheet says 90 CRI minimum, this lamp meets it.

Yes, it's Title 24 compliant, which is what a contractor needs when the lamp is going into a California residential job under the energy code. It's also FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so if your utility rebate program requires a DLC qualified product, this lamp won't qualify for that rebate.

At 200 lumens with a 300 degree beam spread, it throws light nearly all the way around the lamp rather than in one direction, so a multi-arm chandelier of them lights a dining room or entry the way a set of 25W incandescents would. One lamp in a single sconce is accent-level output, not task lighting. Count on roughly 200 lumens per socket when you're sizing a fixture.

No. It's a single-output lamp with no three-way function, so in a three-way socket it will run at one level regardless of switch position, or not light at all on the low tap. For a three-way application you need a lamp specifically built for it.

Fixed at 2700K warm white. There's no CCT selectable switch on the lamp, so every unit out of the case matches every other one, which is what you want when you're standardizing a building and don't want a maintenance tech leaving a switch on the wrong setting. If you need 3000K or 4000K in the same fixture family, that's a different lamp.

Glass envelope with a nickel plated aluminum base. The nickel plating is what keeps the screw shell from corroding and seizing into the socket in a wet location fixture, which is the usual complaint on exterior lanterns where a plain base fuses to the socket and tears apart at relamp time.

S21200 is the Satco Lighting part number: 3W G16.5, clear, candelabra base, 90 CRI, 2700K, 120V. It's sold in the clear finish only, so there's no frosted or white variant of this part number to sort between when you're ordering.
