SATCO Lighting S21203 3W G16.5 LED, White, Candelabra Base, 90 CRI, 400K, 120V

Yes on both counts. The S21203 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can go in a sealed globe or lantern without voiding its rating, and it carries a Wet location rating for indoor or outdoor use. That covers covered entries, exterior sconces, and post lanterns where the lamp can see weather.

It replaces a 25W incandescent on a 120 volt circuit, drawing 3 watts and producing 200 lumens. The base is candelabra and the shape is G16.5, the same small globe used in vanity bars and chandeliers. The one thing that changes is color: at 4000K this is a neutral white, not the warm yellow of the incandescent it replaces. If the fixture sits next to other warm lamps, they will not match.

The S21203 is a dimmable lamp on 120V, 60Hz. At 0.025 amps per lamp the total load on a candelabra fixture is very small, which is the usual cause of flicker or a dimmer that will not hold at the low end. Pair it with an LED-rated dimmer sized for low minimum loads rather than an old incandescent rheostat.

4000K reads as neutral white, cleaner and less yellow than a 2700K decorative lamp. For residential dining and chandeliers most people want warmer. Where it works well is commercial and MRO settings, corridor sconces, lobbies, restrooms, and anywhere you are standardizing a building on one color. The 90 CRI rendering keeps finishes and skin tones accurate at that temperature. This lamp is fixed at 4000K, it is not a CCT selectable lamp.

Burning position is universal, so the S21203 can be mounted base up, base down, or horizontal without affecting its rating. That matters on chandeliers and vanity bars where sockets point in different directions on the same fixture.

It is an LED filament lamp with a 320 degree beam spread, so it throws light nearly all the way around rather than forward only, like the incandescent globe it replaces. The filament construction is also what makes it look right in open fixtures where the lamp itself is visible. Glass envelope on a nickel plated aluminum base.

Yes, it is listed as Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant. Note it is not DLC approved, so if a utility rebate program you are filing under requires a DLC listing, this lamp will not qualify for it.

Average rated life is 15,000 hours. On a common corridor or exterior fixture running roughly 12 hours a day that is a bit over three years between changes, which is the calculation most property managers care about when they spec a lamp for hard-to-reach sconces.

No. The S21203 is not a three-way lamp. Put it in a three-way socket and you get a single output level, not the stepped switching. Use a three-way rated candelabra lamp if the fixture depends on that function.
