SATCO Lighting S29625 7.5W, BR30 LED, 2700K, Medium Base, 120V

Yes, the S29625 is a dimmable BR30 LED running on 120V, 60Hz at 7.5 watts. Current draw is only 0.063A, which is where a lot of retrofits get into trouble: swapping a bank of 65W incandescent BR30s for lamps pulling this little current can drop below the minimum load some older forward-phase dimmers need to run smoothly. If the existing dimmer was sized for incandescent cans, plan on a LED-rated dimmer.

No. The S29625 is an open rated lamp, so it is not approved for fully enclosed fixtures. Airtight recessed cans, sealed glass ceiling fixtures, and enclosed outdoor lanterns trap heat around the driver and shorten lamp life. For those housings you need a BR30 specifically marked enclosed rated. In a standard open recessed can or an open shade it is fine, in any burning position.

At 2700K it is warm white, the same tone as a standard incandescent or halogen flood, so it blends with existing incandescent lamps and with other 2700K LEDs. It will not match 3000K or 4000K lamps in an adjacent can, and the color temperature is fixed, not selectable, so you cannot dial it in on site. If you are standardizing a property, order the whole run at 2700K.

Damp location rated and listed for indoor use, so it is good for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and covered exterior soffits where it will not take direct water. It is not wet rated, so keep it out of shower trims that require a wet listing and out of any open exposure to rain. Note also that it needs an open fixture, not a sealed one.

The beam spread is 105 degrees, a wide flood. That is broad enough for general room lighting and wall washing rather than accent work, and it means widely spaced cans still overlap on the floor instead of leaving scallops between them. If you want a tight pool of light on artwork or a display, a BR30 at this spread is the wrong tool, look at a PAR lamp with a narrow beam.

CRI is 90 plus, which is the range specified for retail, hospitality, healthcare exam areas, and anywhere skin tones and merchandise color have to look right. Paired with the 2700K warm tone and a frosted lens, it renders close to the halogen floods these usually replace.

Average rated life is 25,000 hours. On a common property schedule of about 12 hours a day in a lobby or corridor, that is roughly five and a half years before relamping. In a unit interior running 3 hours a day it stretches well past twenty years of rated life, which is why most managers move to LED on turnover rather than on a relamp cycle.

No. The S29625 is lensed with a frosted finish, so the diodes are diffused rather than visible as individual points. That matters in open recessed cans and open shades where the lamp face is in view from the room.

No. This BR30 is not a three-way lamp. Screwed into a three-way socket it will run at one output level only, and depending on the switch position it may not light at all on the first click. For a three-way fixture you need a lamp built for it.
