SATCO Lighting S39799 60W LED HID Replacement, 2700K, Mogul extended Base, Adjustable Beam Angle, Type B Ballast Bypass, 100-277V

Yes. The S39799 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the existing HID ballast has to be removed or bypassed and line voltage wired directly to the socket. It runs on 100-277V at 50/60Hz, so it works on 120V, 208V, 240V and 277V circuits without changing the lamp. Leaving the old magnetic or electronic ballast in the circuit will damage the lamp.

Yes. The S39799 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it is approved for sealed fixtures where heat builds up, which is where most non-enclosed-rated corncobs fail early. It is rated for damp locations and listed for indoor or outdoor use, so a covered canopy, parking garage, or shoebox retrofit is within rating. Damp rated is not wet rated, so it should not sit where water hits the lamp directly.

No. The S39799 is non-dimmable and has no three-way function. Wiring it to a dimmer or a 0-10V driver circuit will cause flicker or premature failure. If you need dimming on a mogul base retrofit, specify a lamp rated dimmable instead, or move the control to a switched relay so the lamp only sees full line voltage.

At 60 watts it puts out 7,680 lumens, and Satco rates it as a 500W incandescent equivalent. In HID retrofit terms that lumen package lines up with lower-wattage metal halide and HPS lamps rather than a 400W HID, so compare it against the published lumens of the lamp you are pulling out instead of matching nameplate watts.

The S39799 is fixed at 2700K, a warm white close to incandescent color, with a CRI of 80. It is not CCT selectable, so if the rest of your fixtures are running 4000K or 5000K this lamp will look noticeably yellow next to them. For a warm interior, lobby, or hospitality space it matches incandescent and warm HPS reasonably well.

The lamp's LED panels pivot to give three beam spreads: 120, 150 or 260 degrees. Narrow it to 120 for a deeper throw in a high ceiling or a narrow fixture, open it to 260 for near-omnidirectional spread in an acorn or a post top. You set it by hand at install, so one part number covers several fixture shapes.

Draw runs 0.600A at the low end of the voltage range down to 0.217A at the high end, so a 120V circuit pulls roughly six-tenths of an amp per lamp and a 277V circuit about a fifth of an amp. On 277V that lets you load a lot more lamps per branch circuit than the HID lamps you are pulling out.

No. The S39799 is not DLC approved, so it will not clear utility programs that require a DLC-listed product. It is Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant, which covers California energy code documentation and electromagnetic interference. If a rebate is driving the job, pick a DLC-listed HID replacement instead.

Body is aluminum and steel with a thermoplastic PBT base and a clear PBT lens over the LEDs, not glass, so it tolerates handling on a lift better than an HID arc tube. Housing is white, lamp weight is 2.05 lb, and rated life is 50,000 hours. The weight matters on spring-loaded or horizontal sockets, so support the lamp when you thread it in.
