Satco Lighting S8636 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What incandescent bulb does the 8W Satco S8636 LED MR16 replace?
It replaces a 75W halogen MR16 while drawing 8W, putting out 490 lumens at a 15 degree beam. Because the beam is tight, the center beam punch is what does the work here rather than raw lumen count.
2) Can the Satco S8636 MR16 be used in a fully enclosed recessed can?
Yes. It is an enclosed rated lamp, so trapped heat in a sealed or gasketed fixture will not void its use. It also carries a damp location rating, which covers covered porches, soffits and bathrooms, but not direct rain or spray.
3) Is a 15 degree beam too narrow for general room lighting?
Yes, for general ambient light. A 15 degree spot is an accent beam, meant for artwork, retail merchandise, signage, or architectural features where you want a defined pool of light. For washing a room or covering a large floor area you want a wider flood MR16 instead. At 3000K the color is warm white, which suits gallery and hospitality accent work.
4) Is the Satco S8636 LED MR16 dimmable?
Yes, it is dimmable. Since it is a 12V lamp, dimming performance depends on the low voltage transformer and the dimmer being matched to it. It is not a three-way lamp and the color temperature is fixed at 3000K, not field selectable.
5) Does this Satco MR16 have high enough color rendering for retail or gallery display?
CRI is 90 or better, which is the range specified for merchandise, artwork and food display where color accuracy matters. Paired with the 3000K warm white output, it reads close to halogen color.
6) Does the Satco S8636 meet California Title 24 requirements?
It is California T24 listed. It is not DLC approved and not BAA compliant, so it will not satisfy a Buy American clause on a federal job or a DLC based utility rebate. It is FCC compliant.
7) Can I mount the S8636 MR16 pointing straight up or sideways?
Burning position is universal, so it can be aimed base up, base down, or horizontal without affecting rated life. Rated average life is 25,000 hours.
8) What does the Satco S8636 MR16 look like in the fixture, and does it have a lens?
The lamp body is gray with a clear lens over the LED. Clear lens with a 15 degree optic gives a crisp edged beam rather than a diffused one, so aiming shows on the wall.
