Satco Lighting S23163 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to remove the existing HID ballast to install the Satco S23163 45W corncob lamp?
Yes. The S23163 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so it wires direct to line voltage and the existing metal halide or HPS ballast has to be removed or bypassed. Leaving the ballast in circuit will damage the lamp. Line voltage must land in the 277-480V range at 50/60Hz.
2) Will this Satco 45W LED corncob run on 120V?
No. The S23163 is built for 277V to 480V only, which is the high-voltage leg typical of warehouse, parking lot and industrial circuits. On a 120V or 208/240V circuit you need a different lamp rated for that range.
3) Can the Satco S23163 corncob lamp go in an enclosed fixture like a wall pack or acorn?
Yes. It carries an enclosed rated lamp designation, so a sealed wall pack, acorn or shoebox housing is acceptable. It is also damp location rated for indoor or outdoor use, with a universal burning position so base-up, base-down or horizontal all work.
4) How do I set the color temperature on the Satco ColorQuick S23163 lamp?
The lamp uses Satco's ColorQuick CCT selectable design with three field choices: 3000K, 4000K and 5000K. Output shifts with the setting, 5850 lumens, 6300 lumens and 6075 lumens across the three, all at 80 CRI. Pick one setting across a whole building and the openings will match.
5) Does the Satco S23163 screw into a standard E26 medium socket?
It has a medium base, so it threads into the standard screw socket already in most HID fixtures once the ballast is bypassed. No mogul adapter needed. Lamp weight is 1.58 lb, so a loose or damaged socket should be replaced before hanging it.
6) What HID wattage does a 45W LED corncob replace?
At 5850 to 6300 lumens depending on the CCT setting, the S23163 is sold as an HID replacement lamp and is rated at 125W incandescent equivalent. For HID retrofits, compare the lumen output of the existing lamp to that range rather than matching wattage.
7) Is the Satco 45W HID replacement corncob dimmable?
Yes, the S23163 is listed as dimmable. Because it is a ballast bypass lamp wired to 277-480V line voltage, any dimming has to be done on the line side control, not through a retained HID ballast.
8) Is this Satco corncob DLC listed for utility rebates?
No, the S23163 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify for rebate programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing. It is FCC compliant and Title 24 compliant.
9) How long does the Satco S23163 LED corncob last and what draws the current?
Rated life is 50,000 hours at 45W. Current draw runs 0.162A down to 0.094A across the 277V to 480V range, which is what you size the branch circuit and lamp count against when relamping a row of HID fixtures.
10) How wide does a 45W corncob LED throw light?
The beam spread is 300 degrees, so it distributes nearly all the way around the lamp rather than throwing a narrow cone. That suits open HID housings, high bays and post tops. The clear plastic lens covers the LED array.
11) What is the body of this LED corncob lamp made of and will it hold up outdoors?
Construction is aluminum and polycarbonate with a dark gray housing, the aluminum serving as the heat sink. It is damp location rated for indoor or outdoor service, which covers covered exterior and enclosed outdoor fixtures but not direct wet exposure.
