SATCO Lighting S29484 11.5W PAR38 LED, Yellow, 90 degree Beam Angle, Medium Base, 120V

The S29484 is a yellow PAR38 LED rated at 11.5 watts with a 90 degree beam angle. Yellow PAR38 lamps are typically used where white light attracts flying insects or where a colored wash is wanted, so patios, entries, loading areas, and seasonal or accent lighting are the common applications. The 90 degree spread is a wide flood pattern, meant to wash a surface or area rather than spotlight an object.

At 11.5 watts, the S29484 draws a fraction of what a legacy PAR38 incandescent flood pulled, which is why property managers swap them in on exterior and canopy fixtures where lamps run long hours. Keep in mind this is the yellow version, so it is a color lamp, not a daylight or warm white substitute. If you need a straight white light replacement for a PAR38 incandescent, order a white PAR38 LED in the brightness that matches the lamp coming out.

It is a flood. The 90 degree beam angle is a wide spread, good for washing a wall, soffit, patio or parking area from a short throw. For narrowing light onto a single sign, tree or architectural feature, a narrow spot or narrow flood PAR38 (roughly 25 degrees or less) is the right choice instead of this lamp.

Order Satco S29484. That number covers the 11.5W PAR38 LED in yellow, 90 degree beam, medium base, 120 volt. There is one configuration, so no beam angle, voltage or base option needs to be specified separately.

Color rendering is rated 80+. That is the usual benchmark for general commercial and residential lighting, adequate for circulation, exterior and utility areas, though specifiers wanting accurate color rendition on merchandise or finishes normally call out a 90+ CRI lamp instead.

Construction is aluminum and plastic, with aluminum doing the heat sinking behind the lens. The lamp weighs 0.28 lb, light enough for standard track heads and gimbal rings without any concern about the socket carrying the load. Country of origin is Thailand.
