SATCO Lighting S39027 9W LED Direct Wire Downlight, 5-6in, 3000K, 120V, Dimmable

Yes, the S39027 is built as a retrofit for both 5 inch and 6 inch housings. The trim measures 6.69 inches in diameter, so it covers a 6 inch aperture and the slightly smaller 5 inch opening. Overall height is 2.81 inches, which is what has to clear inside the can once the unit is pushed up.

Wet location rated, so a shower or soffit above a tub is within what it is rated for. It is an indoor rated fixture though, so a covered exterior entry is outside what the rating covers. For exterior canopies and soffits you want a downlight rated for outdoor use.

Yes. The S39027 is listed as Title 24 compliant, which is what inspectors look for on residential lighting in California. It is also cETLus Listed, covering both US and Canadian safety requirements, plus FCC compliant and RoHS compliant.

The downlight is dimmable on 120V line voltage. It is an integrated LED driver, not a lamp, so it needs a dimmer rated for LED loads; older incandescent dimmers often leave a flicker or a high minimum. The Satco installation instructions for the S39027 are the place to confirm the dimming details before you commit a whole floor to one dimmer type.

Rated for 40,000 average hours. On a common-area fixture burning about 12 hours a day that is roughly nine years of service. The LED is integrated, so there is no lamp to replace along the way; when it does go, the whole unit comes out.

No. The S39027 is a fixed 9W at 3000K, with neither CCT nor wattage field selectable, and it ships in white only. If you need to standardize a building on one SKU that can be set to 2700K through 5000K at the trim, you want a selectable CCT downlight instead of this one.

The housing combines thermal conductive plastics with aluminum for heat sinking, and the finished unit weighs 0.44 lb. At that weight the retrofit does not load up aging can clips or an old plaster ceiling. Trim finish is white.
