Satco Lighting S8747 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Satco S8747 LED PL lamp need the existing CFL ballast removed?
Yes. The S8747 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so it wires directly to line voltage and the existing CFL ballast has to be removed or bypassed. It accepts 120V through 277V at 50/60Hz, so it works on either a 120V residential circuit or a 277V commercial lighting branch. If you leave the ballast in place, the lamp will not operate correctly.
2) Will the S8747 fit a GU24 twist-lock socket?
It uses a bi-pin GU24 base, which is the twist-and-lock two-pin socket found on many CFL downlights and ceiling fixtures. It will not fit a G24q or GX24q four-pin CFL socket or a screw-in medium base socket. Check the socket in the fixture has the two stubby locking pins before ordering.
3) Can I use this 8W LED PL lamp in an enclosed ceiling fixture or a shower can?
It is an enclosed rated lamp, so a closed glass ceiling fixture or a sealed downlight trim is acceptable. Burning position is universal, so it can be mounted base up, base down, or horizontal without affecting life.
4) Is the Satco S8747 dimmable?
No. The 8W GU24 LED PL is non-dimmable, and it is not a three-way lamp either. Put it only on standard on/off switching. On a dimmer it can flicker, buzz, or fail early, so if the fixture is on a dimmed circuit you need a dimmable lamp instead.
5) What wattage CFL or incandescent does this 8 watt LED PL replace?
At 8 watts it puts out 960 lumens, which Satco rates as a 40W incandescent equivalent. Draw is 0.067A at 120V down to 0.029A at 277V, so a run of these frees up a lot of circuit capacity compared with the CFL and ballast they replace.
6) Will 3500K match the other lamps in my building?
The S8747 is 3500K, a neutral white that sits between warm 2700K/3000K residential lamps and cool 4000K. If your corridors and common areas are already 3500K it will blend; mixed with 3000K lamps in the same sightline the difference is visible. Color rendering is 83 CRI, and the color temperature is fixed, not field selectable.
7) Is the light from this GU24 LED PL lamp spotty, or does it spread?
Beam angle is 120 degrees with a frosted lens over the LEDs, so it throws a wide, diffused wash rather than a spot. That suits downlights, close-to-ceiling fixtures, and wall sconces where you do not want visible diodes. For a tight beam on artwork or accent work, use a directional reflector lamp instead.
8) Is the Satco S8747 DLC listed for utility rebates or Buy American projects?
No on both counts. The lamp is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify for rebate programs that require a DLC listing, and it is not BAA compliant, which rules it out of federally funded work carrying a Buy American requirement. It is FCC compliant.
9) Can I sell or install the S8747 in California?
No. Satco marks this 8W GU24 PL lamp as non-compliant for California, so it should not be specified for jobs in that state. Pick a California-compliant GU24 LED for those openings.
10) How long does this LED PL lamp last compared to the CFL it replaces?
Rated life is 50,000 average hours. For a property manager running corridor or stairwell fixtures close to around the clock, that is roughly six years of continuous burn, which is the main argument for converting the sockets and pulling the ballasts out at the same time.
