SATCO Lighting S29439 12.5W, PAR30LN LED, 5000K, 60 degree Beam Angle, Medium Base, 120V

Yes. The S29439 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can go in a fully enclosed fixture where many LEDs are not permitted. It also carries a wet location rating and is listed for indoor and outdoor use, which covers soffit cans, covered entries, and exterior flood housings.

It replaces a 75W incandescent PAR30 at 12.5 watts, putting out 1000 lumens. Current draw is 0.104A at 120V/60Hz, so you can stack far more lamps on a circuit than the halogens they replace. The color is 5000K, a cool daylight white, so the space will read noticeably whiter than a 2700K or 3000K halogen even at similar light output.

No. The S29439 is fixed at 5000K, a cool daylight white, and it cannot be field adjusted because it is not a CCT selectable lamp. Put it next to a 3000K lamp and the difference is obvious. If you are relamping one zone at a time, finish a whole room or elevation in 5000K rather than mixing within sight lines.

60 degrees is a wide flood. It washes a broad area and is what you want for general downlighting in a lobby, corridor, retail floor, or garage where you are spacing cans on a grid. If you are accenting artwork, signage, or a merchandise display and need a tight pool of light, this beam is too wide, look for a narrow flood or spot version of the PAR30LN instead.

The lamp is dimmable on 120V line voltage dimming. It is not a three-way lamp and it is not CCT selectable, so the output color stays fixed at 5000K through the dim range. As with any LED retrofit, older high wattage incandescent dimmers may not hold a low end smoothly with only 12.5W of load on them, so light loading a large dimmer is the usual cause of flicker.

The S29439 renders at 90 CRI, which is the threshold most retail, grocery, medical, and hospitality specs call for when color accuracy matters. At 5000K with 90 CRI you get a cool, neutral daylight rendering that keeps whites white and does not gray out merchandise or skin tone the way an 80 CRI lamp can.

No. The S29439 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under a rebate program that requires DesignLights Consortium listing. It is FCC compliant and is stated as lawful for sale in California.

Burning position is universal, so it can run base up in a recessed can, base down in a pendant or porch fixture, or horizontal in a track or wall mounted flood head with no effect on rated life.

Rated average life is 25,000 hours. On a 12 hour a day commercial schedule that is roughly 5.7 years of service, which is why these get specified for high ceilings and exterior soffits where the relamp labor costs more than the lamp.

The lens is clear thermoplastic (PBT) over a silver housing with a plastic base. A clear lens on a 60 degree wide flood spreads light broadly rather than throwing a defined edge, so you will not get the hard cut off you would from a narrow beam lens. Plastic construction also means less weight hanging in a track head than an old glass halogen PAR30.
