SATCO Lighting S21224 5.5W G16.5 LED, White, Medium Base, 90 CRI, 3000K, 120V

Yes. The S21224 is an enclosed rated lamp, so sealed ceiling fixtures, jelly jars, and closed globes are fine. It also carries a wet location rating and is listed for indoor or outdoor use, which covers covered porches, exterior sconces, and bath fixtures. Burning position is universal, so base up, base down, or horizontal all work.

The S21224 is a dimmable lamp on 120V, 60Hz. One caution for anyone swapping a whole room: legacy incandescent dimmers were sized for a much larger load, and a 5.5 watt lamp draws only 0.046 amps, so a handful of these may fall under the dimmer's minimum load and flicker or drop out at the low end. An LED-rated dimmer solves that.

If color accuracy matters, yes. At 90 CRI the S21224 renders skin tones, wood, fabric and paint much closer to true than the 80 CRI lamps that fill most commercial sockets. At 3000K it reads as warm white, which is the usual pick for hospitality, residential common areas, and retail where you want merchandise and finishes to look natural rather than clinical.

It throws nearly all the way around. The G16.5 globe has a 320 degree beam spread, so it lights up and out as well as down. That matters in exposed-bulb applications like vanity bars, chandeliers, pendants and string lights, where a directional lamp leaves dark spots. It's an LED filament design, so the lit look is closer to a vintage bulb than a plastic-domed LED.

Average rated life on the S21224 is 15,000 hours. In a common-area fixture running roughly 12 hours a day that works out to about three and a half years between relamps. Worth noting for anyone standardizing a building: this is a fixed 3000K lamp, not CCT selectable, so every replacement needs to be the same color temperature if you want the openings to match.

Not as a three-way. The S21224 is a single-output lamp, so in a three-way socket it will light at full output on the positions that energize it and stay off on the rest. It threads in fine (medium base), but if the fixture needs stepped levels you want a three-way rated lamp instead. On a standard socket with a dimmer, it dims normally.

Yes, the S21224 is Title 24 compliant, which is what California multi-family and residential work requires for permitted fixtures. It's also FCC compliant. One thing to flag for spec work: it is not DLC listed, so it won't qualify for utility rebate programs that require DesignLights Consortium listing.

Glass envelope on a nickel plated aluminum base. Nickel plating resists the corrosion you get on a plain brass base in a damp exterior socket, and the lamp carries a wet location rating for indoor or outdoor use. Being glass, it's a lamp you don't want to hand-tighten by the globe in an exposed fixture; turn it by the base.

You can't from this one. The S21224 ships in a single configuration: white finish, 3000K, 90 CRI, 5.5W, medium base. There is no clear version or alternate color temperature under this part number, so if a job calls for a different CCT you'll be ordering a different Satco part, not an option on this one.
