SATCO Lighting S29626 7.5W, BR30 LED, 2700K, GU24 Base, 120V

At 650 lumens the S29626 lands in the range of a 65 watt incandescent BR30 flood, which is the lamp most residential and hospitality recessed cans were originally built around. Draw drops to 7.5 watts for roughly the same light on the ceiling, so a corridor or unit full of 65W BR30s can be relamped without changing the fixtures, provided the sockets are GU24.

The S29626 is a dimmable lamp. On LED dimming, performance depends on the dimmer being LED-rated; older incandescent-era rotary and slide dimmers were built for much larger loads and a single 7.5 watt lamp can sit below their minimum load, which shows up as flicker or drop-out at the low end. For a dimmed recessed run, ganging several of these on an LED-compatible dimmer is the usual fix.

2700K is warm white, the color most people read as matching old incandescent and halogen lamps. If the rest of your openings are on 2700K, these blend. If the building was relamped to 3000K or 4000K, mixing in 2700K on the same ceiling will read noticeably yellower side by side, so relamp a whole room or run at a time rather than spot-replacing.

CRI is 90+ on the S29626, which puts it above the 80-something CRI typical of commercial-grade LED lamps and makes it usable where color rendering matters: retail merchandise, hotel lobbies, art, bathrooms and vanities, food service. Paired with the 2700K warm tone it is a reasonable halogen stand-in for display lighting.

It is a 120 volt lamp. Use it on standard 120V line-voltage branch circuits only. It is not for 277V commercial lighting circuits and not for 12V low-voltage track or MR-type systems; those need lamps rated for that supply.

Each lamp weighs 0.17 lb and the body is plastic rather than glass, with a frost lens. For a property manager ordering by the case that matters two ways: the plastic envelope is less prone to shattering in a service cart or a stairwell drop, and the light weight keeps bulk relamp shipments manageable.

The S29626 comes in a frost finish, which diffuses the LED sources behind the lens instead of letting them read as individual bright points. In an open or baffled recessed can where the lamp face is visible from below, that is what keeps it from looking spotty. There is one finish option, so there is nothing to specify beyond the model number.
