Satco Lighting S8953 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What incandescent bulb does this 4.5W Satco B11 LED replace?
It replaces a 40W incandescent candle bulb, drawing 4.5 watts and putting out 300 lumens at 120 volts. Current draw is 0.038A, so on a 15A circuit you can run a lot of them, which is the usual reason a property manager relamps a corridor or lobby fixture wholesale.
2) Can I put this Satco B11 LED in a fully enclosed fixture?
Yes, it is an enclosed rated lamp, so a closed globe, jar sconce, or lantern is fine. Location rating is Damp, which covers a covered porch, breezeway, or bathroom, but not a wet location with direct water exposure. It also burns in any position, base up or base down.
3) Is the Satco S8953 dimmable, and will it work on my existing wall dimmer?
The lamp is dimmable at 120V, 60Hz. It is not a three-way lamp, so it will not step through levels in a 3-way socket, and it is not color-select, so the output stays at 3000K through the dim range. Older incandescent dimmers can flicker or drop out at the low end with a 4.5W load; an LED-rated dimmer is the safer pairing.
4) Can I buy the Satco S8953 for a job in California?
The S8953 is not a Title 20 listed lamp, and Satco lists the S8575 as the California T20 alternate substitute. For a California specification, order the S8575 in place of it.
5) What does 3000K look like next to the 2700K bulbs already in my building?
At 3000K this is a soft/warm white, a touch cleaner and less yellow than the 2700K most older incandescent and early LED candles produce. Mixed in the same chandelier or a row of sconces, the difference is visible. If you are relamping a fixture, do the whole fixture at once. CRI is 80, which is standard for general residential and common-area lighting.
6) Is this a clear candle bulb or a frosted one, and how wide does it throw light?
Clear lens, molded in PS plastic, so the lamp body is see-through and suits an exposed chandelier or sconce where the bulb itself is part of the look. Beam spread is 275 degrees, close to omnidirectional, so it lights the fixture and the space around it rather than aiming in one direction. If you want the filament hidden and a softer glare, look for a frosted B11 instead.
7) How long will these last in a hotel corridor or lobby fixture that runs most of the day?
Rated life is 25,000 hours. At roughly 12 hours a day that is about 5.7 years before rated end of life, which is why these get specified for common areas where getting a lift or a ladder to a chandelier is the real cost. The base is metal and plastic and the lens is plastic, so it handles handling better than a glass candle lamp during relamping.
8) Does the Satco S8953 qualify for a DLC utility rebate?
No. The S8953 is not DLC listed, so it will not qualify under a DesignLights Consortium rebate program. It is FCC compliant for electromagnetic interference.
