Satco Lighting S9490 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Satco S9490 MR16 work in my existing low voltage track heads with a magnetic transformer?
The S9490 runs on 12 volts, AC or DC, and draws 0.542 amps at 6.5 watts. That covers both magnetic and electronic 12V supplies as long as the transformer's minimum load is satisfied. Low wattage LED lamps often fall under the minimum load of an older magnetic transformer feeding a single head, so if the fixture has one lamp on a large transformer, check the transformer's minimum. Line voltage 120V MR16 fixtures will not take this lamp.
2) Can the Satco S9490 MR16 go in a fully enclosed fixture?
Yes, it's an enclosed rated lamp, so a sealed or gasketed fixture is fine. It also burns in any position, base up, base down or horizontal, and is rated for damp locations, which covers covered porches, soffits and bathrooms. Damp is not wet, so leave it out of anything with direct water exposure.
3) Will this Satco MR16 dim on my existing low voltage dimmer?
The lamp is dimmable, but on a 12V system the dimming behavior is set by the combination of the dimmer and the transformer, not the lamp alone. Magnetic transformers need a magnetic low voltage (MLV) dimmer and electronic transformers need an electronic low voltage (ELV) dimmer; a mismatch is the usual cause of flicker or a dead band at the bottom of the range.
4) How long will these Satco MR16 LEDs last in a hotel lobby that runs 12 hours a day?
Rated at 25,000 hours average life. At 12 hours a day that's about 5.7 years of service per lamp, versus the annual relamping typical of the 50W halogen it replaces. For a property manager batching a relamp, that puts the whole run on one cycle instead of chasing failures.
5) Is the Satco S9490 Buy American compliant for a federal job?
No. The S9490 is not BAA compliant, so it won't satisfy Buy American Act requirements on a federally funded project. It also carries no DLC listing, which rules it out of utility rebate programs that require DLC qualification. It is FCC compliant and lawful for sale in California.
6) Is this MR16 a clear lens or a frosted one, and does that affect glare?
Clear lens over the LED array, in a gray housing. A clear lens holds the 25 degree beam tight and crisp, which is what you want for accent work; it also means the source is visible in the aperture, so in a shallow trim head where occupants look straight at the lamp, expect more glare than a frosted lens would give.
7) Is there more than one version of the Satco S9490 to choose from?
No options to specify. The S9490 is a single configuration: 6.5W, 2700K, 25 degree beam, GU5.3 base, 12V, in the gray housing. Wattage, color temperature and beam angle are fixed, so ordering is by part number alone.
