SATCO Lighting S8758 8W LED PL Medium Base, 4000K, Type B, Ballast Bypass, 960 Lumens, 50000 Avg Rated Hours, 120 degree Beam Angle

Yes. The lamp is rated 120V through 277V at 50/60Hz, so the same part works on residential 120V and on 277V lighting branch circuits common in commercial buildings. Current draw runs 0.067A at the low end of the voltage range down to 0.029A at the high end, which is useful when you are counting lamps on a circuit for a retrofit.

No. The S8758 is non-dimmable. On a dimmer it will flicker, buzz, or fail early. For dimmed circuits you need a lamp specifically listed as dimmable, and the dimmer has to be LED-rated. If the fixture is on a dimmer you cannot use, replace the dimmer with a standard switch or pick a dimmable lamp instead.

Yes, it is an enclosed rated lamp, so a sealed or gasketed fixture where heat builds up is an approved application. Burning position is universal as well, so it can be installed base up, base down, or horizontal without affecting rated life.

The S8758 is a fixed 4000K lamp, the neutral cool white commonly specified for offices, corridors, and back-of-house areas. It is not CCT selectable, so there is no switch to change it to 3000K or 5000K. If the adjacent fixtures are 3000K warm white, this lamp will read visibly cooler and blue next to them. Color rendering is 83 CRI.

Output is 960 lumens from 8 watts, which Satco rates as a 40W incandescent equivalent. In practice the lumen figure is what matters for a lighting layout: 960 lumens spread over a 120 degree beam angle gives broad general illumination rather than a spot, which suits corridors, stairwells, laundry rooms, and common area downlights.

No on both counts. The lamp is not DLC listed, so it will not qualify for utility rebate programs that require a DLC qualified product number, and it is not BAA compliant, which rules it out of federally funded work carrying Buy American Act requirements. It is FCC compliant. California is also flagged as non-compliant for this lamp, so it is not the right choice for projects in that state.

Average rated life is 50,000 hours. On a common area circuit running roughly 12 hours a day that is over eleven years of service, which is the main reason property managers move PL fixtures to ballast bypass LED instead of restocking CFL lamps and replacement ballasts. There is no ballast left in the circuit to fail once the fixture is rewired for a Type B lamp.

It is lensed with a frost finish over a white housing, so the diodes are diffused rather than exposed. That matters in open-bottom fixtures and bare-lamp jelly jars where a clear lamp would show hot spots.

Satco Lighting S8758. It ships as a single frost lamp configuration, so there are no finish or color temperature options to pick between when you order.
