Satco Lighting S23165 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to remove the existing ballast to install the Satco S23165 LED HID replacement lamp?
Yes. The S23165 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the existing HID ballast has to be removed and line voltage wired directly to the socket. It runs on 277-480 volt line power. Leaving the old magnetic or electronic ballast in the circuit will damage the lamp.
2) Will the Satco S23165 work on a 120V or 208V circuit?
No. The S23165 is built for 277-480 volt line voltage only, which is typical of high bay, parking, and site lighting on three phase service. On a 120V or 208V feed you need a different voltage version of the lamp.
3) How do I pick the color temperature on the Satco S23165, and what light output do I get at each setting?
Color temperature is selectable on the lamp itself through Satco's ColorQuick technology, so one part number covers three CCTs. Output changes with the setting: 5850, 6300, and 6075 lumens. CRI is 80+ at all settings. For a property manager standardizing a building, that means you can stock one lamp and match the existing color on site instead of carrying three SKUs.
4) Can this LED HID replacement lamp be dimmed?
Yes, the 45W Satco S23165 is dimmable. Because it is a ballast bypass lamp wired to line voltage, any dimming has to be done on the 277-480V line side of the circuit, not through an old HID ballast.
5) Is this lamp protected against voltage spikes on parking lot and site lighting circuits?
It has built-in surge protection rated 4kV. That matters on exterior pole and high bay circuits on 277-480V service, where switching and lightning induced transients are the usual cause of early lamp failure.
6) Should I use a Type B ballast bypass lamp or a Type A plug-and-play lamp for an HID retrofit?
A Type B lamp like the Satco S23165 requires an electrician to pull the ballast and wire the socket to line voltage, but after that there is no ballast left to fail and no ballast loss in the wattage. A Type A plug-and-play lamp screws into the existing ballasted socket with no rewiring, which is faster on a single lamp swap but leaves you dependent on an aging ballast. On a large fixture count, or where ballasts are already failing, Type B is the retrofit that ends the maintenance cycle.
7) What is this Satco LED retrofit lamp made of, and how much does it weigh?
The housing combines aluminum with a polycarbonate lens, the aluminum handling heat sinking and the PC covering the LEDs. Weight is 1.6 lb, so most existing mogul socket fixtures and shades carry it without extra support.
8) Is there a spec sheet for the Satco S23165?
Yes, Satco publishes a PDF spec sheet for the S23165 covering the 45W CCT selectable ballast bypass lamp. Order by MPN S23165.
