SATCO Lighting S9633 6.5W, LED R20, 5000K, 107 degree Beam Angle, Medium Base, 120V, Dimmable

Yes. The S9633 is an enclosed rated lamp, so a sealed ceiling fixture or a closed can with a trim lens is a legitimate application. Many LED lamps are not, and they fail early from trapped heat. Burning position is universal, so base up in a downlight is fine.

The 6.5 watt draw replaces a 45 watt incandescent R20, putting out 525 lumens at a 107 degree beam spread. That wide a spread is general-purpose wash lighting rather than a tight accent beam, so if you are replacing a narrow flood used to spotlight artwork or merchandise, expect a broader, softer pool of light.

5000K is daylight white, a crisp blue-white. It will not match 2700K or 3000K warm lamps in adjacent fixtures and the difference is obvious side by side. For corridors, laundry rooms, garages, and back-of-house where you want a clean bright look, 5000K is the usual pick. The color temperature is fixed, not selectable, so one lamp cannot be field-adjusted to blend in.

Damp location rated and indoor use only. That covers a bathroom ceiling, a shower surround outside the direct spray zone, or a covered walkway soffit. It is not for exposed outdoor fixtures taking direct rain, where a wet-location rated lamp is required.

No. The S9633 is flagged non-compliant for California, so it is not suitable for a California project. For work in that state you need a Title 20 compliant LED R20. Everywhere else it is a standard stock item.

The lamp is dimmable on 120V, 60Hz. Note it draws only 0.054 amps, roughly 6.5 watts, so an old incandescent dimmer with a high minimum load may buzz or flicker if only one or two lamps are on the circuit. Where a whole bank of R20s is being converted, an LED-rated dimmer is the safer pairing.

Not as a 3-way. The lamp is single-level only, so in a 3-way socket it will run at one brightness or may not respond to all switch positions. Use a dedicated 3-way LED where the fixture needs the stepped levels, or control this one from a dimmer instead.

No, the S9633 is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under rebate programs that require DesignLights Consortium listing. It is FCC compliant for electromagnetic interference. Facilities buyers chasing incentive dollars on a large relamp should confirm the program's qualified products list before committing.

Frosted lens. The S9633 is fully lensed with a frost finish over a gray housing, which diffuses the LED array so you do not see individual diode hot spots looking up into the fixture. Combined with the 107 degree spread, it reads as an even flood rather than a point source.
