Satco Lighting S29861 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Satco S29861 LED PL lamp need the existing ballast, or do I have to rewire the fixture?
Keep the ballast. The S29861 is a ballast-dependent (Type A) 9W LED PL lamp, meaning it runs off the fixture's existing CFL ballast with no rewiring. If the ballast in your fixture is dead or you intend to bypass it, this is the wrong lamp, you would need a ballast-bypass (Type B) PL lamp instead.
2) Can this LED PL lamp go in an enclosed downlight or a closed wall sconce?
Yes, it is an enclosed-rated lamp, so sealed downlights, drum ceiling fixtures and closed sconces are fine. It is also damp location rated, which covers covered exterior soffits, breezeways and bathrooms. It is not wet location rated, so skip fixtures taking direct water.
3) What CFL wattage does this 9W LED PL replace in a stairwell or corridor fixture?
At 9 watts drawing 1100 lumens, the S29861 is rated as a 40W incandescent equivalent and is the common swap for a 4-pin quad-tube CFL in that output class. Output is 5000K daylight white with a CRI of 82, so expect a noticeably cooler, whiter light than a 2700K or 3500K CFL in the same fixture.
4) Can I mount the fixture base up, or does this lamp have to burn base down?
Either way. Burning position is base up or base down, so the same lamp works in a recessed can firing down and in a vertical-tube wall fixture. With a 120 degree beam spread and a frosted lens, the distribution is wide and diffuse rather than directional.
5) Will the S29861 dim on my existing fixture controls?
The lamp itself is listed as dimmable, but because it is a ballast-dependent Type A lamp the dimming behavior is controlled by the CFL ballast in the fixture. On a non-dimming instant or rapid start ballast it will run at full output only. Dimming requires a dimmable ballast already in the fixture.
6) How long will these last before my maintenance crew is back on the ladder?
Rated at 50,000 average hours. In a corridor or stairwell running 24/7 that is roughly 5.7 years of continuous operation, which is why these are a common standardization choice across multi-family and institutional common areas. Each lamp weighs 0.23 lb.
7) Is the Satco S29861 selectable color temperature or fixed 5000K?
Fixed. There is no CCT selector switch on this lamp, it is 5000K only, and it is not three-way. If you are standardizing a building, every unit you install will land at the same daylight-white color, which matters when you are mixing new lamps into fixtures that still have warmer CFLs in them.
