Satco Lighting S21290 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Satco 5.5W B11 filament LED in an enclosed or outdoor fixture?
Yes to both. It is an enclosed rated lamp, so a sealed globe, lantern, or jelly jar will not void it the way a non-enclosed-rated LED would, and it carries a wet location rating for indoor or outdoor use. That covers exterior sconces and covered entry fixtures where heat build-up and moisture are the two things that kill ordinary LED lamps.
2) Is the Satco S21290 a true 60 watt replacement?
It is rated as a 60W incandescent equivalent, drawing 5.5 watts and producing 500 lumens at 2700K. For a decorative candle fixture that is a like-for-like swap on brightness and color: 2700K is the same warm white a standard incandescent puts out, so it will not read cooler or bluer than the lamps beside it.
3) Will this Satco B11 LED work on my existing dimmer, and will it flicker?
The lamp is dimmable on 120V 60Hz line voltage. At 0.046 amps draw, though, a chandelier of these pulls very little current, and legacy incandescent dimmers with a high minimum load are where LED candle lamps buzz or drop out at the low end. On a retrofit, an LED-rated dimmer is the fix.
4) How many of these 5.5W LED candle bulbs can I put on one 15 amp circuit?
Each lamp draws 0.046A at 120V. Even derating a 15A circuit to a continuous 12A, the lamp count runs into the hundreds, so on a retrofit the circuit is effectively never the constraint. What does constrain you is the dimmer's own load rating and its minimum load, not the branch circuit.
5) Does this Satco clear filament candle bulb count for Title 24 in California?
Yes, the S21290 is Title 24 compliant, which is what a spec on a California job or a utility-driven retrofit usually turns on. It is also FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so if a rebate program you are filing under requires a DLC qualified product number, this lamp will not satisfy that particular requirement.
6) Can I mount this LED filament bulb base-up in a chandelier or pointing sideways in a sconce?
Burning position is universal, so base-up, base-down, and horizontal all work. That is the deciding detail on chandeliers and wall sconces where the socket points up or out, and it pairs with a 300 degree beam spread, meaning the light throws nearly all the way around the lamp rather than in one direction. Good for a fixture meant to be seen, which is why the clear glass version gets specified.
7) Why would I pay for a 90 CRI candle bulb instead of a standard one?
90 CRI means colors under the lamp look close to how they look in daylight. In a hotel lobby, a restaurant, a retail display, or a residential dining room, that is the difference between finishes and skin tones reading correctly and reading washed out. Most commodity LED lamps sit at 80 CRI. If the lamp is over a leasing office desk or a corridor, 90 CRI is not buying you much; over anything a guest or customer looks at, it is.
8) How long before I have to relamp these Satco B11 LEDs?
Rated average life is 15,000 hours. On a lobby or exterior fixture running roughly 12 hours a day that is about three and a half years between relamps, which is the number that matters when you are pricing the ladder time rather than the bulb. Burned continuously it is under two years.
9) Is this a glass filament bulb or a plastic LED candle bulb?
Glass with a nickel plated aluminum base, built as an LED filament lamp rather than a diode array behind a diffuser. The clear glass leaves the filaments visible, so it suits open chandeliers and exposed-lamp fixtures where a frosted plastic candle lamp would look wrong.
10) Does the Satco S21290 work as a 3-way bulb or change color temperature?
No on both. It is a fixed 2700K warm white with no selectable CCT, and it is not a 3-way lamp, so in a 3-way socket it will run at a single output level on whichever contact it makes. For a fixture on a 3-way switch loop that is fine; for a 3-way table lamp socket, you need a lamp built for it.
