SATCO Lighting S21226 4.5W G25 LED, Clear, Medium Base, 90 CRI, 2700K, 120V

Both are allowed. The S21226 carries an enclosed rated lamp designation, so it can be installed in a fully enclosed fixture without voiding its heat rating, and it is rated for wet locations and indoor or outdoor use. That covers covered porch globes, enclosed vanity shades, and exterior fixtures exposed to weather.

Yes, the lamp is listed as Title 24 compliant, so it can be used where California energy code requires compliant lighting. It is also FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so it will not qualify for utility rebate programs that require DLC listing.

The S21226 uses a clear glass globe with an LED filament, so the filament is visible and it reads like a vintage incandescent in open or glass-front fixtures. Light spreads over a 300 degree beam angle, close to omnidirectional, and it can be installed base up, base down, or horizontal since the burning position is universal. If you want a diffused appearance with no visible filament, pick a frosted or white G25 instead.

Yes, and that is the main reason to spec this lamp over a basic G25 LED. At 90 CRI with a 2700K color temperature, skin tones and finishes render accurately at the mirror, which is where guests notice bad light first. For a hotel or multi-family standardization program, 90 CRI plus 2700K is the combination that keeps new lamps looking like the incandescents they replaced.

No. The S21226 is not a three-way lamp, so in a three-way socket it will operate at one output level only on the positions that energize it. For a three-way table or floor lamp, order a lamp specifically built for three-way operation.

Rated life is 15,000 hours. Against a 40W incandescent globe, which typically runs 1,000 to 2,000 hours, that is a large cut in ladder trips for a property manager relamping corridor sconces or vanity bars. Energy drops too, from 40 watts to 4.5 watts per socket.

No, it is fixed at 2700K warm white with no field-selectable CCT switch. If you are standardizing a building and want a different color, you specify a different lamp rather than changing a setting on this one.

Glass globe with a nickel plated aluminum base, and it weighs 0.09 lb. That is light enough for pendant sockets and swing-arm fixtures where a heavy lamp would sag. The nickel plated base resists corrosion, which matters in the wet-location exterior fixtures this lamp is rated for.
