SATCO Lighting S9176 0.8W LED, T6, Frost, 2700K, Candelabra Base, 120V, Carded

Wet location rated, and listed for both indoor and outdoor use, so it can go in an exterior sign cabinet, a marquee, or an enclosed exterior fixture that takes a candelabra lamp. Burning position is universal, so it can be mounted base up, base down, or horizontal without affecting rated life.

No. The S9176 is a non-dimming lamp, so putting it on a dimmer, a photocell dimming circuit, or a chase/flasher controller can cause flicker, buzz, or early failure. Feed it a straight switched 120 volt circuit. It also is not a three-way lamp, so it will not step through levels in a three-way socket.

25 lumens at 0.8 watts, equivalent to a 1.5 watt incandescent sign lamp. That is deliberately low output. This is a sign and indicator lamp, not a lamp for lighting a room or a hallway. If you are replacing a 15W or 25W candelabra decorative bulb in a chandelier or sconce, this will look far too dim and you want a higher lumen candelabra lamp instead.

2700K is warm white, the same tone as a standard incandescent, so it blends with existing incandescent or warm LED lamps rather than reading blue next to them. CRI is 80. The lens is a coated white frost, which spreads the output and hides the diode so you do not get hot spots through a sign face or a clear cover.

360 degree beam spread, so it throws light evenly around the full circumference of the tube rather than firing in one direction. That matters in a sign cabinet or a marquee where lamps sit behind a diffuser and any directional LED leaves visible dark bands between lamps.

25,000 hours average rated life. Run continuously, that is roughly 2.8 years of 24/7 operation; on a dusk to dawn sign at about 12 hours a day it is on the order of five to six years. For a property manager or facilities crew relamping a marquee or an exterior sign, that is the whole argument for going LED here, since incandescent sign lamps in the same sockets get changed on a far shorter cycle.

Order Satco S9176. It ships carded as a single lamp in the coated white frost finish, and that is the only finish the lamp is made in, so there is no finish or color temperature option to specify. It is not a color selectable lamp.

The S9176 uses a glass body rather than plastic. In an exterior sign that is generally what you want, since glass does not yellow or haze from UV the way some plastic lensed lamps do over a few seasons. It is lensed with a white coating over the LED.

FCC compliant, which matters where a bank of small LED lamps sits near signal or audio equipment and radiated interference is a concern. It is also lawful for sale in California. It is not a DLC listed product, so if your utility rebate program requires a DLC qualified lamp, this one will not qualify for it.
