SATCO Lighting S21318 5.5W CA10 LED, Clear, Medium Base, 90 CRI, 2700K, 120V

Both are fine. It is an enclosed rated lamp, so a sealed or gasketed fixture will not void it, and it carries a Wet location rating for indoor or outdoor use. That covers covered porch sconces, post lanterns and exterior entry fixtures. Burning position is universal, so base up, base down or horizontal all work.

It replaces a 60 watt incandescent candle lamp at 5.5 watts, putting out 500 lumens at 2700K. That is the same warm white color you get from an incandescent, and the clear glass with a visible LED filament keeps the exposed-bulb look, so it suits chandeliers and open fixtures where the lamp is seen.

The lamp is dimmable on 120V, 60Hz line voltage. One caution for a retrofit: an old dimmer sized for incandescent load often has a minimum load it needs to see, and at 0.046 amps per lamp a small chandelier may fall under it and flicker. On those jobs a dimmer rated for LED loads is the fix.

Yes, the S21318 is Title 24 compliant, which matters if you are specifying lamps for residential or multi-family work in California. It is also FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so it will not qualify for utility rebate programs that require DLC.

The 90 CRI rating means color rendering close to incandescent, so wood tones, fabric and skin tones read accurately under it. That is the reason to pick this over a standard 80 CRI candle lamp in hospitality, retail or residential common areas where finishes are on display. Paired with 2700K and clear glass, it is a straight visual match for the incandescent candle lamps it replaces.

Each lamp draws 0.046 amps at 120 volts, so current draw is negligible compared to the fixture count limits you will hit first. For load calculations use 5.5 watts per lamp. The practical limit on a retrofit is usually the dimmer's rating and the fixture's own socket count, not the branch circuit.

Beam spread is 300 degrees, so the output goes nearly all the way around the lamp rather than throwing in one direction. That is what you want in a chandelier, multi-arm sconce or open pendant. It is not a reflector lamp, so do not use it where you need directional accent light.

Average rated life is 15,000 hours. On a lobby or corridor fixture running roughly 12 hours a day that works out to around three and a half years between relamps, which is the main reason facilities groups swap incandescent candle lamps for these on high-ceiling fixtures.

It is not a three-way lamp, so in a three-way socket it will light at full output on every switch position rather than stepping. For dimming, use it on a dimmer circuit instead, which it does support.

Glass envelope with a nickel plated aluminum base. Nickel plating resists corrosion better than brass-finish steel in damp exterior sockets, which fits the lamp's wet location rating. Each lamp weighs 0.044 lb.
