SATCO Lighting S39314 7.2W LED Downlight Retrofit, 5-6in, 4000K, 120V, White Finish

Wet location rated, so a shower or a covered exterior can is within its rating, but Satco lists this one as an indoor product. The safe read for a spec job: use it in wet interior spaces like showers, laundry rooms and pool enclosures. For an open exterior soffit, spec a fixture the manufacturer lists for outdoor use.

It is a dimmable fixture at 120V. It draws 7.2 watts, which is the part that catches people out: a legacy incandescent dimmer with a high minimum load will often flicker or refuse to start with a load that small. If you are keeping old dimmers, put a LED-rated dimmer on the circuit or gang enough fixtures to clear the dimmer's minimum load.

Title 24 compliant, and cULus certified for both US and Canadian installations. It is also FCC compliant and RoHS compliant. For a California job that is the combination that lets it go in without a substitution request.

650 lumens at 4000K is a neutral, slightly cool white. That colour reads clean in corridors, stairwells, laundry rooms, back-of-house and bathrooms, and it is the temperature most commercial buildings standardize on. If you are lighting apartment living space or hospitality guest rooms where you want a warmer look, this is not the one to pick, because the colour is fixed at 4000K, not field selectable.

Rated at 35,000 hours. On a corridor or common area running roughly 12 hours a day that is about eight years of service, and on a 24/7 stairwell about four. The LED is integral to the fixture, so when it does go the whole retrofit module gets swapped, not a lamp.

White is the only finish offered on the S39314, on a round trim with an aluminum body. If the openings you are matching have black or brushed nickel trims, this is not the model that will match them.

Satco publishes both for the S39314: an installation instruction sheet and a full photometric spec sheet, linked from the product's technical data. Worth pulling the spec sheet before a bid, since that is where the beam and photometric detail lives that a lighting schedule asks for.
