Satco Lighting S8679 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Satco S8679 MR16 drop into my existing GU10 track heads without a transformer?
Yes. The S8679 uses a bi-pin GU10 base and runs on 120V line voltage at 60Hz, so it goes straight into a GU10 socket with no low-voltage transformer. If your fixtures are 12V MR16 with a GX5.3 two-pin base fed by a magnetic or electronic transformer, this lamp is the wrong one.
2) Can I use this LED MR16 in a sealed or enclosed recessed can?
Yes, the S8679 is an enclosed rated lamp, so a gasketed or airtight recessed housing is acceptable. It is rated for damp locations and listed for indoor use, which covers a covered porch, bath, or kitchen soffit but not direct weather exposure.
3) What halogen wattage does this 6.5W LED MR16 replace?
It is built as a 50W halogen equivalent, putting out 500 lumens on 6.5 watts and drawing 0.054 amps. On a 20A lighting circuit that current draw means you can load far more heads per circuit than you could with 50W halogens, which matters when you are relamping a whole retail ceiling or lobby.
4) Will 5000K match the other bulbs in my building?
At 5000K this is daylight white, a cool crisp tone suited to garages, work areas, retail, and medical spaces. It will read noticeably bluer next to 2700K or 3000K warm lamps, so do not mix them in the same room or on the same track. The color temperature is fixed, not field selectable.
5) Is the Satco S8679 dimmable, and will it work on my existing halogen dimmers?
The lamp is dimmable. Be aware that the total connected load drops sharply when you swap halogen for LED: at 0.054A each, a run of these may fall below the minimum load of an older incandescent dimmer and flicker or drop out. Where that happens the fix is an LED-rated dimmer, not a different lamp.
6) Can I install this MR16 pointing up, or base-up in a ceiling can?
Burning position is universal, so the S8679 can be aimed up, down, or sideways with no derating. That covers inverted recessed cans, uplight coves, and adjustable track heads on any angle.
7) Is the Satco S8679 approved for sale in California?
Yes, it is lawful for sale in California. Note that it is not DLC listed, so if you are chasing a utility rebate that requires DesignLights Consortium qualification, this lamp will not qualify. It is FCC compliant.
8) Does color rendering on this lamp hold up for retail display use?
CRI is 80, which is standard for general commercial and MRO lighting and fine for offices, corridors, garages, and back of house. For high-end retail apparel, food display, or anywhere color fidelity is being judged, specify a 90+ CRI lamp instead.
9) How long before I have to relamp these?
Average rated life is 25,000 hours. At roughly 12 hours a day that is in the range of five to six years of service, which is why these get spec'd in high-ceiling lobbies and stairwells where a lift is needed for every lamp change.
10) Is this an open LED array or a covered lens?
The S8679 is lensed with an array lens finish over the LEDs, so you are not looking at bare diodes in the beam. Housing and base are white plastic, and the lamp weighs 0.08 lb.
