Satco Lighting S9951 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I just drop the Satco S9951 PLL LED lamp into my existing fixture without touching the ballast?
No. The S9951 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the existing fluorescent ballast has to be removed and line voltage wired directly to the 2G11 sockets. Leaving the ballast in circuit will not work and can damage the lamp. Once rewired it runs on anything from 120V to 277V at 50/60Hz, so it suits both residential and commercial panels.
2) Will the Satco S9951 fit my 4-pin PL-L socket?
It uses a 2G11 four-pin base in a T5 twin-tube shape, which is the standard PL-L long compact fluorescent socket. If your existing lamp is a 2G11 PL-L, the lampholder is right; the work is on the wiring side, since the ballast must be bypassed first.
3) Can this LED PL lamp go in an enclosed fixture or a damp location like a parking garage or bathroom?
Enclosed rated, so it can be installed in a sealed or gasketed fixture without voiding the rating. Location rating is damp, which covers covered walkways, bathrooms and garages, but not direct exposure to rain or sprinklers. Burning position is universal, so base up, base down or horizontal all work.
4) How much light does a 23W PLL LED give compared to the fluorescent lamp it replaces?
The S9951 puts out 2800 lumens at 23 watts, which Satco rates against a 100W incandescent. Color is 4000K neutral white with a CRI of 82, and light spreads over a 270 degree beam, so it fills a wraparound or troffer the way a twin-tube fluorescent does rather than throwing in one direction.
5) Does the Satco S9951 qualify for a utility rebate?
It is DLC approved, which is what most utility and energy efficiency programs require for commercial LED retrofit rebates. It is also FCC compliant, which matters where lamps sit near sensitive electronics or in healthcare spaces.
6) Is the S9951 dimmable or color selectable?
Neither. It is a fixed 4000K lamp with no CCT selection and no three-way operation. If your building standard is 3500K or 5000K, this one will not match it; specify a different color temperature in the PLL family instead. For dimmed spaces, a ballast bypass lamp like this is not the right choice.
7) What current draw should I figure for a circuit full of these PLL LED lamps?
Draw is 0.192A at the low end of the voltage range down to 0.083A at 277V, at 23 watts per lamp. Use the 0.192A figure when loading a 120V branch circuit and the lower figure on 277V lighting circuits.
8) How long will these last before maintenance has to go back up the ladder?
Average rated life is 50,000 hours. On a 12 hour a day schedule that is roughly 11 years of service, which is the main argument for bypassing the ballast once rather than re-lamping fluorescent tubes every couple of years.
9) What is the lamp body made of, and will it look like the fluorescent it replaced?
White housing with a frosted plastic (PS) lens and an aluminum/plastic base. The frost diffuser softens the LED sources so the tube reads closer to a fluorescent twin tube than to visible diodes, which matters in open or lensed troffers where the lamp is seen.
