SATCO Lighting S29445 15W, PAR38 LED, 2700K, 40 degree Beam Angle, Medium Base, 120V

1200 lumens from 15 watts. That output lands it in the range typically covered by a 75 to 90 watt incandescent PAR38 flood, at roughly a fifth of the draw. For a property manager relamping a lobby or exterior soffit, the socket and fixture stay as-is and the energy per can drops substantially.

It is a dimmable lamp on 120V, so it will work on a line-voltage dimming circuit. Best results come from a dimmer rated for LED loads, since legacy incandescent dimmers were sized for much larger wattages and can flicker or drop out at a 15W load.

CRI is 90+, which is the threshold generally specified for retail merchandise, galleries, hospitality, and healthcare exam-adjacent spaces. Skin tones, fabric, and paint colors hold up far better than under a standard 80 CRI lamp. If the specification on your drawing calls for 90 CRI minimum, this lamp meets it.

A 40 degree beam is a flood pattern. It washes a broad area, which suits general recessed downlighting, retail shelving, and exterior soffit or wall-wash work where you want even coverage without hot spots. If you are trying to pick out a single piece of art, a sign, or a tall architectural feature from a distance, a narrow spot in the 10 to 25 degree range concentrates the output instead. At 40 degrees you get spread, not punch.

2700K is warm white, matching the color of a traditional incandescent lamp. It is the usual choice for hospitality, multi-family common areas, lobbies, and residential interiors where you want a soft, yellow-toned light. For offices, back-of-house, parking structures, or anywhere already lamped at 3500K or 4000K, 2700K will read noticeably yellower than the surrounding fixtures, so mixing it into an existing run is what causes callbacks.

The S29445 is a clear-lens PAR38 LED. Clear optics give a more defined beam edge than a diffused lens, which is what you want for flood lighting where the fixture aperture is doing the shielding.

Construction is plastic rather than glass, and the lamp weighs 0.49 lb. Lower weight and no glass envelope mean less stress on aging track heads and socket shells, and no shatter risk if it gets knocked in a stairwell or garage fixture. Keep it in enclosed or wet-location fixtures only where the fixture itself is rated for that service.
