Nuvo Lighting Satco 5in Square LED Retrofit Downlight | White Stepped Baffle | Kitchen & Bathroom Recessed Light | 5.5W-8W, 500-700 Lumens | Model S18802

A 5-inch square LED retrofit downlight from Nuvo Lighting's Satco series, designed for upgrading recessed lighting in kitchens, bathrooms, and covered outdoor areas with a wet-rated, dimmable, and field-selectable wattage and color temperature fixture.

The Satco S18802 retrofit downlight offers effortless customization with two on-unit switches that let you adjust both input wattage (5.5W/6.5W/8W) and color temperature (3000K/4000K/5000K) to match your space and task. Its stepped baffle design reduces glare while adding subtle dimension, and the classic white finish blends into any ceiling. With a 50,000-hour functional life and a 5-year limited warranty, this downlight delivers reliable, energy-efficient illumination for years.

Best for

• Kitchens with 4-inch or larger recessed housings, providing bright task lighting over counters and islands
• Bathrooms with wet-rated ceilings, such as above showers or tubs
• Covered patios, porches, and other damp or wet locations where a sealed fixture is required
• Hallways and laundry rooms needing adjustable brightness and color tone
• Retrofit upgrades replacing older incandescent or CFL recessed lights without rewiring

Not ideal for

• Uncovered outdoor areas exposed to direct rain or snow - this fixture is wet-rated but should be installed under a roof overhang
• Spaces requiring a round or larger square trim - this is a 5-inch square design
• Ceilings with less than 6 inches of clearance above the housing - check your can depth

How bright is it?

Selectable output from 500 to 700 lumens, depending on the wattage setting. At 700 lumens, it's comparable to a 60W incandescent bulb - bright enough for general task lighting in a kitchen or bathroom, but not sufficient as a sole light source for large rooms over 100 sq ft.

Light color and feel

Field-selectable color temperature: 3000K warm white (soft, golden tone similar to incandescent), 4000K cool white (neutral, crisp - ideal for task lighting), or 5000K daylight (bright, bluish - best for utility spaces). CRI is not specified by the manufacturer. Fully dimmable with compatible LED dimmers for smooth dimming from 100% to 10%.

Sizing and fit

Overall dimensions: 5.31 in wide x 5.31 in deep x 3.13 in high. Designed to fit into standard 4-inch or larger recessed housings. The low profile (3.13 in height) allows installation in shallow ceiling spaces. Weight: 0.59 lbs.
