SATCO Lighting S29813 11W, A19 LED, 5000K, Medium Base, 220 degree Beam Angle, 120V

Yes. The S29813 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can go into closed glass globes, flush-mount ceiling fixtures and similar sealed housings where heat builds up. It also carries a damp location rating, which covers covered porches and bathroom fixtures, but it is an indoor lamp and should not go in a wet location.

It is rated as a 75W incandescent equivalent, putting out 1100 lumens on 11 watts. Light output is close to the old bulb, but the 5000K color is a cold daylight white rather than the warm yellow of an incandescent, so the room will look noticeably different if you are only swapping some of the bulbs.

No. The S29813 is listed as non-compliant for California's Title 20 lamp regulations. Satco's designated California alternate is the S8484, which is what you should order for work in that state. For jobs anywhere else, the S29813 is fine.

The lamp is dimmable on 120V, 60Hz line voltage and draws only 0.092A. That low current is the catch on dimming: old incandescent dimmers often have a minimum load far above what a single 11W LED draws, so expect flicker or drop-out unless the dimmer is LED-rated or you have several lamps on the circuit. It is not a three-way lamp, so it will not step through levels in a 3-way socket.

The beam spread is 220 degrees, so light goes out sideways and back up past the widest point of the bulb, not just down. That makes it workable in table lamps, open shades, and wall sconces where you need some upward spill. The lens is frosted, which diffuses the LED sources so you do not see individual hot spots through a clear shade.

Burning position is universal, so you can mount it base-up, base-down, or horizontal without affecting operation or rated life. That matters for recessed cans and sconces where the socket orientation is not your choice.

Average rated life is 25,000 hours. On a fixture burning 12 hours a day that is roughly five and a half years before you are back on the ladder, which is the main argument for standardizing on them in corridors, stairwells, and common areas where relamping costs labor more than lamps.

5000K is a daylight white, the color most often specified for garages, shops, laundry rooms, and utility spaces where people want crisp, high-contrast light. CRI is 80, which is the normal general-purpose figure for commercial lamps and fine for circulation and work areas. For color-critical work such as retail display or paint matching, look for a 90+ CRI lamp instead.

No. The S29813 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under utility programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing. It is FCC compliant for electromagnetic emissions, which is the relevant compliance item for an LED lamp going into occupied space.

Fixed at 5000K. There is no CCT selectable switch on this lamp, so if you are standardizing a building on 2700K or 3000K you need a different Satco A19 rather than this one. Order by color temperature up front.
