SATCO Lighting S9969 4.5W G40 LED, Amber, Medium Base, 2000K, 240 Lumens, 120V

Yes. The S9969 is an enclosed rated lamp, so it can be installed in a closed globe, lantern, or sealed decorative fixture without violating the lamp's rating. It also carries a Damp location rating, which covers covered porches, soffits, and bath areas, but not direct exposure to rain or sprinklers.

The S9969 is a dimmable LED filament lamp running on 120V, 60Hz. Because it draws just 4.5 watts (0.038 amps), a string of them can fall under the minimum load some older magnetic or incandescent dimmers need to run smoothly, so an LED-rated dimmer is the safer pairing for a bank of these.

It puts out 240 lumens and is rated as a 25 watt incandescent equivalent. That is deliberately low output for a decorative amber lamp, so if you are replacing a 40W or 60W clear globe over a vanity or in a pendant you will notice a real drop in light. For vanity strips and bath bars where you want working light, step up to a clear or soft white globe instead.

Yes, it takes a medium base, the standard screw socket on residential and commercial line-voltage fixtures in North America. No adapter or socket change is needed if you are pulling out a standard incandescent globe. It will not fit candelabra or intermediate sockets.

Burning position is universal, so base-up, base-down, and horizontal are all fine. With a 360 degree beam spread there is no hot spot or aiming to worry about either, which is what you want in an exposed-bulb or open-cage fixture where the lamp is seen from every side.

The S9969 is listed as Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant. It is not DLC listed, so if your utility rebate program requires a DLC qualified product this lamp will not qualify for it.

No. The S9969 is not a three-way lamp. Screwed into a three-way socket it will run at a single output level regardless of switch position. For stepped output you need a lamp built with a three-way circuit; for smooth control on this one, use a dimmer, since it is dimmable.

Rated life is 15,000 hours. On a decorative string or patio fixture burning roughly 12 hours a night that works out to a little over three years of service, which is why properties running long dusk-to-dawn schedules move off incandescent globes to this one.

The lamp uses a transparent amber lens over an LED filament, with glass as the base material. The color is part of the lensed glass envelope rather than a sprayed-on finish, so it reads the same amber whether the lamp is lit or dark on the shelf. The one option offered on the S9969 is Transparent Amber.

Each lamp draws 0.038 amps at 120V. That is a negligible load, so lamp count on a decorative run is almost always limited by the fixture or the dimmer's minimum and maximum load rather than by the breaker. Check the dimmer's LED wattage rating before sizing a long run.
