SATCO Lighting S21252 6W G40 LED, Clear, Medium Base, 90 CRI, 2700K, 120V

Yes. The S21252 carries a Wet location rating and is listed for indoor or outdoor use, so covered porch fixtures, exterior sconces, bathrooms, and outdoor string light sockets are all fair game as long as the socket itself is rated for the location.

It is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can go in a sealed globe, jelly jar, or closed ceiling fixture without voiding the rating. Burning position is universal too, so base up, base down, or horizontal all work.

The bulb is dimmable on 120V, 60Hz line voltage. It is a filament style LED at 6 watts, so on an older incandescent style dimmer the load may fall below the dimmer's minimum and cause flicker or drop-out at the low end. A LED rated dimmer is the safer pairing in a fixture with only one or two of these. It is not a three-way bulb, so it will not step through levels in a 3-way socket.

The clear glass shows the LED filaments, which is the look people want in exposed vanity bars, pendants, and cafe strings. Color is 2700K, the warm incandescent tone, and 90 CRI means skin tones and finishes render close to what a halogen would show. If you don't want a visible filament, a frosted G40 is the one to look for instead.

Close to it. Beam spread is 300 degrees, so the light throws sideways and down as well as up, which is what you want in an open pendant, a bare socket string, or a vanity bar where the bulb is seen from every angle. It is not a directional lamp.

Yes, it is listed as Title 24 compliant, which matters on California residential permits where high efficacy lamps are required. It is also FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so it will not qualify for utility rebate programs that require a DLC listed product.

No. The S21252 is a fixed 2700K lamp with no CCT selectable switch on it, and it ships in clear only. If the job calls for a cooler color, you need a different Satco catalog number rather than a setting on this bulb.

Rated life on the S21252 is 15,000 hours. At roughly 12 hours a day that works out to about 3.4 years per lamp before rated end of life, which is why property managers standardize on a single lamp across a building rather than chasing mixed bulbs.

Glass envelope with a nickel plated aluminum base. The nickel plating is the standard choice for resisting corrosion in the socket, which lines up with the lamp's wet location rating for exterior fixtures.
