Satco Lighting S9863 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Satco S9863 LED PL lamp work with my existing fluorescent ballast, or do I have to bypass it?
The S9863 is a Type A, ballast dependent lamp. It runs off the existing fluorescent ballast, so you drop it into the socket with no rewiring. If your ballast has failed, this lamp will not light; in that case you need a Type B (ballast bypass) PL lamp wired direct to line voltage instead.
2) Will a G24d 2-pin LED PL lamp fit my 4-pin G24q socket?
No. The S9863 has a G24d 2-pin base, which only seats in a 2-pin G24d socket. Four-pin G24q fixtures use a different keyed base and need a 4-pin lamp. The 2-pin sockets are the magnetic/preheat style fixtures; check the socket keying before ordering.
3) Can I use this 9W LED PL lamp in an enclosed fixture or a damp location like a stairwell or covered walkway?
Enclosed rated, so it can go in a closed or gasketed fixture without voiding the rating. Location rating is damp, which covers covered walkways, bathrooms, and stairwells, but not direct wet exposure. It also burns base up or base down, so vertical downlights and horizontal wall sconces both work.
4) Can I put the Satco S9863 on a dimmer?
No. The S9863 is non-dimmable and has no three-way function. On a dimming circuit expect flicker, buzz, or no start at all. If you have dimmed PL cans, specify a lamp rated dimmable and confirm the ballast dims too.
5) Will 3500K match the other lamps in my building, and is the color rendering good enough for a lobby or corridor?
3500K is neutral white, between warm 3000K and cool 4000K, and it is a fixed color: the S9863 is not CCT selectable, so you cannot field-set it to match. CRI is 82, which is standard commercial quality for corridors, lobbies, stairwells, and back-of-house. If your other fixtures are 4000K the difference will be visible, so standardize a floor at a time.
6) How long will these LED PL lamps last before my maintenance crew has to go back up the ladder?
Rated at 50,000 average hours. On a 12-hour-a-day corridor schedule that is roughly 11 years of service. Worth noting for fleet planning: because it is ballast dependent, the electronic ballast in the fixture becomes the likely first failure point, not the lamp.
7) Will this lamp show a bright dot or glare in an open downlight?
The S9863 is lensed with a frost finish and a white housing, which diffuses the diodes rather than leaving them visible as points. Spread is 120 degrees, a wide flood suited to general ceiling illumination rather than accent or spot work.
8) Is the Satco S9863 DLC listed for a utility rebate?
No, it is not DLC approved, so it will not qualify under programs that require a DesignLights Consortium listing. It is FCC compliant and runs on standard 60Hz line power, and it is lawful for sale in California.
9) What exactly do I order, and is there more than one version of the S9863?
One configuration only: Satco S9863, 9W LED PL, G24d 2-pin, 3500K, frost finish. There is no alternate color temperature or base option under this part number, so the MPN alone specifies it.
