SATCO Lighting S21202 3W G16.5 LED, White, Candelabra Base, 90 CRI, 2700K, 120V

It matches a 25W incandescent, putting out 200 lumens at 3 watts. If your fixture currently runs 40W or 60W candelabra lamps, this one will read noticeably dimmer, so step up to a higher-lumen G16.5 instead. At 2700K with 90 CRI, the color is the warm incandescent tone and renders finishes and skin tones closer to the original bulb than a standard 80 CRI LED.

The S21202 is a dimmable lamp on 120V, 60Hz. Because it draws only 0.025A, a bank of these on an old incandescent-style dimmer may fall below the dimmer's minimum load and flicker or drop out at the low end. On a chandelier retrofit, a LED-rated dimmer is the safer pairing.

Burning position is universal, so base-up, base-down, or horizontal all work. That matters for chandeliers with upward-facing candle arms and for exterior lanterns where the socket sits sideways. The 320 degree beam spread means light comes off nearly the whole lamp rather than one direction, so it reads like a candle flame from any angle.

Yes, the S21202 is Title 24 compliant, which is what matters for California residential lighting work. It's also FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so it won't qualify for utility rebate programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing.

Rated for 15,000 average hours. On a hotel corridor sconce or lobby chandelier running roughly 12 hours a day, that's about three and a half years between relamps, which is why properties standardize on one candelabra lamp across a floor. Order one color temperature and CRI for the whole run: this is a fixed 2700K lamp, not CCT selectable, so mixing it with a selectable lamp set to a different setting will show.

It's an LED filament lamp in a G16.5 globe shape with a white finish, so the visible element looks like a traditional filament rather than a plastic diffuser dome. In open chandeliers, vanity bars, and exposed-socket pendants where the bulb is part of the look, that's the version you want.

No. The S21202 is not a three-way lamp, so in a three-way socket it will run at a single output level rather than stepping. For three-way switching in that fixture you need a lamp specifically built for it.

Each lamp draws 0.025A at 120V, about 3 watts. Even a 24-arm chandelier loaded with them comes in around 0.6A total, so circuit capacity is never the limit on a retrofit from incandescent candelabras, the dimmer's minimum load is.
