Satco Lighting S8559 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Satco S8559 dimmable on a standard wall dimmer?
The S8559 is a dimmable LED, so it can be run on a dimmer circuit. For clean low-end performance on LED, pair it with an LED-rated (ELV or forward-phase LED) dimmer rather than an old incandescent-only control, since legacy dimmers are a common cause of flicker and buzz with low-wattage lamps.
2) What incandescent bulb does a 5.5W 500 lumen BT15 LED replace?
At 500 lumens the S8559 sits in the range of a 40 watt incandescent, so it is a direct swap for 40W decorative or appliance-style lamps while drawing 5.5 watts. If you need the brightness of a 60W (around 800 lumens), this one will read dim.
3) Will a clear BT15 LED look like the filament bulbs already in my open fixtures?
The S8559 has a clear glass envelope in the BT15 shape, so the light source is visible rather than diffused. That suits exposed-socket fixtures, chandeliers and open pendants where the bulb is part of the look. For fixtures where you want a soft even glow and no visible glare, choose a frosted or satin lamp instead.
4) Is 2700K the right color temperature to match the rest of my warm white lamps?
2700K is warm white, the same tone as a standard soft white incandescent, so the S8559 blends with existing incandescent, halogen and 2700K LED lamps in hospitality, multi-family and residential spaces. It will look noticeably yellower next to 3000K or 4000K lamps, so keep a given room on one temperature.
5) Is this Satco LED good enough for color-critical spaces like retail displays or guest rooms?
The S8559 is rated 90+ CRI, which means colors and skin tones render close to natural light. That is the threshold typically specified for hospitality guest rooms, retail merchandise and healthcare spaces, and it is well above the 80 CRI typical of commodity LED lamps.
6) Can I use the S8559 BT15 in an enclosed or outdoor fixture?
The S8559 is specified as an indoor lighting lamp at 120V. Use it in interior fixtures. Before putting any LED in a fully enclosed housing, check the Satco spec sheet for that lamp, since trapped heat shortens LED life.
7) What exactly do I order to get this Satco BT15 LED, and is there more than one version?
Order Satco part number S8559. It is built one way only, clear finish, so there is no finish or color temperature choice to specify, it ships as a 5.5W clear BT15 at 2700K with a medium base.
8) How much does one Satco S8559 bulb weigh for shipping or fixture load?
Each S8559 lamp weighs 0.06 lb. That is light enough that it adds nothing meaningful to a fixture's load, which matters on delicate chandelier arms and swag pendants.
