SATCO Lighting S8951 4.5W, B11 LED, 2700K, Candelabra Base, 120V

Yes, the S8951 has a candelabra base and runs on 120V, so it drops into standard candelabra chandelier and sconce sockets. It's a B11 candle shape with a clear plastic lens, so the filament-style look stays visible in an open chandelier. Universal burning position means you can mount it base up, base down, or horizontal without affecting rated life.

It replaces a 40W incandescent candle bulb, drawing 4.5W to do it. Output is 300 lumens at 2700K, which is the same warm white a 40W incandescent gives off, so a mixed fixture during a phased swap won't show an obvious color mismatch. Draw is 0.038A per lamp at 60Hz, which is what matters when you're loading up a multi-lamp chandelier or a long sconce run on one circuit.

Yes. The S8951 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can go in a closed globe, a lantern, or a sealed sconce without the heat buildup shortening its life. Plenty of cheap candelabra LEDs are not enclosed rated and fail early in exactly those fixtures, so this is the spec to check when you're replacing lamps in enclosed hall or stairwell fixtures.

Damp location rated, which covers covered porches, breezeways, bathrooms, and vanity fixtures. It is not wet location rated, so don't put it anywhere it takes direct rain or spray, like an unsheltered post lantern or an open exterior fixture. For those spots you need a wet rated lamp.

The S8951 is dimmable. One caution on a retrofit: at 4.5W and 0.038A per lamp, a chandelier that used to pull 40W per socket now pulls a fraction of that, and older incandescent dimmers have a minimum load they need to see. If the whole fixture drops below it you get flicker or drop-out at the low end. Pairing them with an LED-rated dimmer is the fix.

No. The S8951 is not Title 20 compliant, so it isn't the lamp for a California job with that requirement. Satco lists S9877 as the California Title 20 alternate substitute for it.

Rated at 25,000 average hours. For a property manager running lobby or corridor chandeliers, that's the number that decides your relamp cycle: a fixture burning roughly 12 hours a day runs about 5.7 years on a lamp, so you're replacing on a multi-year schedule instead of chasing burnouts in a 40W incandescent fixture.

Beam spread is 275 degrees, so this is an omnidirectional candle lamp rather than a directional one. Light goes out to the sides and back toward the base, which is what a multi-arm chandelier or an upward-facing sconce needs. At 300 lumens per lamp, a six-arm fixture puts out around 1,800 lumens total. CRI is 80, adequate for corridors, lobbies, and back of house, though a gallery or retail display where color rendering is judged wants a higher CRI lamp.

No. The S8951 is not a three-way lamp, so in a three-way socket it will either stay at full output across the switch positions or not light on the first position at all. For three-way control you need a lamp built for it. On a standard on/off or dimmer circuit it's fine, and it does dim.

No, it's fixed at 2700K warm white. There's no CCT selectable switch on it, so every one out of the box matches every other one, which is what you want when you're standardizing lamps across a building and don't want a maintenance tech setting a switch wrong. If you need to tune color temperature per space, this isn't the lamp.

No, the S8951 is not DLC approved, so it won't qualify under a utility program that requires a DLC listing. If a rebate is part of how the retrofit is being funded, check the program's qualified products list before you commit to a quantity.

The lens is polystyrene plastic rather than glass, with a metal and plastic base. For rental turnovers, stairwells, and anywhere a lamp gets bumped during cleaning, that means it doesn't shatter into a fixture the way a glass candle bulb does. The finish is clear, so the interior is visible in an exposed chandelier socket.
