SATCO Lighting S21220 5.5W G16.5 LED, Clear, Medium Base, 90 CRI, 2700K, 120V

It replaces a 60 watt incandescent globe on 5.5 watts, putting out 500 lumens at 2700K. That 2700K is the warm white of the old incandescent, so a fixture with several sockets will not look mismatched if you change them one at a time. Current draw is 0.046A at 60Hz, which is why you can load far more of these on a circuit than the bulbs you are pulling out.

Yes, it is an enclosed rated lamp. That matters because most LED bulbs are not: trapped heat inside a closed globe, jelly jar or flush-mount shortens the life of a non-rated lamp. This one is built for it, and burning position is universal, so base up, base down or horizontal all work.

It carries a wet location rating and is listed for indoor or outdoor use, so it can go in an exposed porch light, post top or coach lantern where it may see rain, not just a covered damp location. Combined with the enclosed rating, it suits sealed outdoor globes.

The lamp is dimmable. It is a 120V LED filament lamp drawing 0.046A, so on an old incandescent (leading edge) dimmer a single bulb may sit below the dimmer's minimum load and flicker or drop out at the low end. On an LED-rated dimmer, or with several lamps on the same circuit, it dims normally. Note it is not a three-way lamp, so it will not step through levels in a 3-way socket.

That is what this one is for. The G16.5 is a small decorative globe with a clear glass envelope and an LED filament, so you see the filament strands the way you would in a vintage incandescent, not a frosted diffuser or a plastic dome. Use it in open chandeliers, bath bars with the bulb showing, and glass pendants. If you want the light source hidden or glare softened over a work surface, pick a frosted lamp instead.

Beam spread is 300 degrees, close to omnidirectional. In a chandelier or an open globe fixture where the lamp is seen from every side, it lights evenly rather than leaving a dark patch toward the base. That is the practical difference between a filament lamp like this and a directional LED that only throws forward.

Yes, the S21220 is Title 24 compliant, which is what a contractor needs when the fixture has to count as high efficacy on a California job. It is also FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so if a utility or commercial rebate program you are filing under requires DLC, this lamp will not qualify for it.

Rated at 15,000 average hours. At roughly 12 hours a day in a common area corridor or lobby that is about three and a half years between changes, against the roughly 1,000 hours you get from the 60W incandescent it replaces. For a property manager relubing lamps across many fixtures, the fixed spec is the thing to standardize on: medium base, 120V, 2700K, 500 lumens, so every unit matches.

90 CRI is the threshold most retail, hospitality and healthcare specs are written to, so this lamp meets a high color rendering call-out where an ordinary 80 CRI bulb will not. Skin tones, wood finishes and merchandise colors read closer to true. Paired with 2700K, the light is warm rather than neutral, which is the usual choice for guest rooms, restaurants and lobbies.

No. It is a fixed 2700K warm white lamp, not CCT selectable, so there is no switch on the base to move it to 3000K or 4000K. If a job needs field-adjustable color temperature, this is the wrong lamp and you want a selectable-CCT model instead.

The lamp is built with a glass envelope and a nickel plated aluminum base. Nickel plating is the reason it holds up better than a bare brass or aluminum screw shell in a wet location fixture, where a corroded base is what makes the next bulb change a fight. It is rated wet location, so outdoor sockets are the intended use.
