SATCO Lighting S49397 120W LED HID Replacement, 5000K, Extended Mogul Base, Type B Ballast Bypass, Economy Hi-Pro

You have to rewire. The S49397 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the existing HID ballast must be removed or bypassed and line voltage wired directly to the socket. It accepts 100V to 277V at 50/60Hz, which covers most commercial high bay and shoebox circuits, but leaving the old magnetic or electronic ballast in the circuit will damage the lamp.

At 16,560 lumens it lands in the range normally covered by a 400W metal halide or high pressure sodium lamp, and Satco rates it as a 750W incandescent equivalent. Judge the swap on delivered lumens for your mounting height rather than matching wattage, since the 300 degree beam spread throws light omnidirectionally instead of the way an HID arc tube plus reflector did.

Yes. The S49397 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can be installed in sealed and gasketed fixtures where heat builds up. It is also damp location rated for indoor or outdoor use, which covers canopies, parking garages and covered walkways. It is not wet location rated, so do not use it where it will take direct rain inside a non-sealed housing.

Either way. The burning position is base up or base down, so the same lamp works in a pendant high bay hanging down and in a post top or acorn where the socket points up. That matters on retrofits because many older HID lamps were position sensitive.

It is a fixed 5000K daylight white at 80 CRI, with no CCT selector, so every unit comes out the same cool white. If the rest of your site is on 4000K neutral lamps, mixing will be visible. It is not dimmable and not three-way, so it is for on/off circuits only. Photocell and time clock switching is fine; 0-10V or triac dimming is not.

Draw is 1.200A at the low end of the voltage range down to 0.433A at 277V, at 120W per lamp. Use the amp figure for your actual supply voltage when counting how many lamps a branch circuit will carry, and remember the old ballast load comes off the circuit once it is bypassed.

Not through DLC. The S49397 is not DLC listed, which is what most utility prescriptive rebate programs require for LED HID replacements. It is Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant, so it will pass California energy code and radio interference requirements, but plan the project without a DLC based incentive.

Average rated life on the S49397 is 35,000 hours. On a dusk to dawn schedule of roughly 4,000 hours a year that is about eight years of service, against the one to three year relamp cycle typical of metal halide. Body is aluminum and polycarbonate with a clear polycarbonate lens, so there is no glass to break during handling at height.

Order Satco S49397. That is the 120W, 5000K, Type B ballast bypass Economy Hi-Pro corncob with the extended mogul base and a white housing. There is a single configuration, so there is no finish or color temperature to specify on the order.
