Satco Lighting S9170 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Satco S9170 S14 red LED bulb be used outdoors in an exposed sign or string light?
Wet location rated, and listed for both indoor and outdoor use, so the S9170 can go in an exposed sign cabinet, a marquee, or an outdoor string light run where it sees rain. Wet rating is the one that matters outdoors; damp-only lamps are limited to covered soffits and porches.
2) Can I put the Satco S9170 on a dimmer or a flasher circuit?
No. The S9170 is a non-dimming lamp, so it has to run on a plain switched circuit. Put it on a dimmer and you get flicker, buzz, or no start at all, and the lamp life suffers. If the sign or string is on an existing dimmer, either bypass the dimmer or spec a dimmable LED instead.
3) What incandescent sign bulb does the Satco S9170 replace?
It is built as a one-for-one swap for a 10W incandescent S14 sign lamp, same S14 shape and same medium base, at 1.4 watts drawn. For a property manager relamping a marquee or a string of festoon sockets, that means the sockets and wiring stay as they are and the load on the circuit drops sharply.
4) How many of these 1.4W red LED sign lamps can I run on one 120V circuit?
Each S9170 draws 0.012A at 120V, 1.4 watts. That is tiny: a 15A circuit loaded to the 12A continuous limit would take far more lamps than any practical sign or string will hold, so the limiting factor is the socket count and wire gauge of the string, not the breaker. For a long marquee retrofit the real math is the string's own rating.
5) Is the red on the Satco S9170 a coating that fades, or is the bulb itself colored?
The finish is ceramic red on a glass lensed bulb, not a dipped or sprayed film. Ceramic coating is fired onto the glass, which is why it is used on sign and marquee lamps that sit in weather and sunlight. It is a fixed color, so there is no CCT selection on this lamp.
6) Can the S9170 sign lamp be installed base-up or sideways in a sign cabinet?
Burning position is universal, so it runs base-up, base-down, or horizontal with no change in rated life. That matters on marquee borders and festoon strings where the sockets point in every direction around a perimeter. Light output is 360 degrees, so the lamp reads from any viewing angle rather than throwing a beam one way.
7) How long do these red LED marquee bulbs last before I have to relamp?
Rated 25,000 hours. On a sign burning dusk to dawn, roughly 12 hours a day, that works out to about 5.7 years of service per lamp. That is the number that decides the retrofit for an MRO or facilities buyer, because the labor to reach a high sign or a rooftop marquee costs more than the lamps do.
8) Does the Satco S9170 qualify for a DesignLights Consortium rebate?
No, the S9170 is not DLC approved, so it will not draw a DLC-based utility rebate on a commercial lighting project. It is FCC compliant, which is the relevant electronics requirement for an LED lamp on a line-voltage circuit. Institutional buyers building a rebate submission should plan around the lamp not carrying that listing.
9) Does the Satco S9170 come in other colors, and how is it packaged?
Ceramic red is the only finish offered on the S9170 (MPN S9170), and it ships carded, meaning individually blister packed rather than bulk. Carded packaging is the practical choice when lamps are being distributed across sites or handed to techs one at a time; it is less efficient for a large single-sign relamp.
