SATCO Lighting S8745 8W LED PL GU24 Base, 2700K, Type B, Ballast Bypass, 920 Lumens, 50000 Avg Rated Hours, 120 degree Beam Angle

The S8745 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so it runs directly on line voltage. If the GU24 socket in your fixture is already wired straight to line power (most GU24 self-ballasted CFL fixtures are, since the ballast lives in the old lamp's base), it twists in and works. If there is a separate remote ballast feeding the socket, that ballast has to be removed and the socket wired direct to line voltage before the lamp will operate. It accepts 120V through 277V at 50/60Hz, so it covers both residential and commercial circuits.

No. The 8W S8745 is a non-dimming lamp. On a dimmer circuit expect flicker, buzz, or no light at the low end, and the dimmer itself can be damaged. Put it on a straight switched circuit, or spec a dimmable GU24 LED if the room has dimmers on the wall.

Yes, it is an enclosed rated lamp, so sealed drum fixtures, closed globes and covered ceiling fittings are fine. It also carries a universal burning position, meaning base up, base down or horizontal all work. That covers most of the closet, hallway and bath fixtures where GU24 PL lamps end up.

It is rated as a 40W incandescent equivalent, putting out 920 lumens on 8 watts. Colour is 2700K warm white with a CRI of 83, so it reads like a standard soft white bulb rather than a cool commercial tone. If you are swapping out an older 13W GU24 CFL, the light level will be comparable but comes on instantly with no warm-up.

Yes. The lamp is rated 120V through 277V, drawing 0.067A at the low end of the range down to 0.029A at the high end, at 50/60Hz. That means one part number covers both 120V unit circuits and 277V common-area or corridor circuits, which is the main reason property managers standardize on it across a building.

No on both counts. The S8745 is not DLC approved, so it will not clear rebate programs that require a DLC listing, and it is not BAA compliant, which rules it out of federal work carrying a Buy American Act requirement. It is FCC compliant for electromagnetic interference. For California, it is flagged non-compliant, so check your state requirement before specifying it there.

It throws a 120 degree beam, which is a wide flood, not a spot. Behind a frosted lens, that gives even wash across a diffuser or globe without a hot spot over the lamp. For general ceiling, closet, stairwell and bath lighting it is the right distribution; it is not a lamp for accent or directional downlighting.

Rated at 50,000 average hours. On a stairwell or corridor running 12 hours a day that is roughly 11 years of service, which is why these get spec'd in multifamily common areas where relamping means a lift or a locked unit. Fixed 2700K, no colour-select switch, so what you install is what every fixture in the run will read at.
