Product Overview

The Halco 85138 is a 5.5W LED A15 bulb built around a frosted, PBT plastic housing for efficient thermal management and consistent light output. It is designed as a direct, screw-in replacement for a 40W incandescent A15 bulb, delivering 420 lumens of initial output (450 lumens nominal) at 4000K with a CRI of 90 for accurate color rendering — notably higher than the CRI 80 typical of many general-purpose LED retrofits.

This lamp is Triac dimmable and rated for use in fully enclosed (closed) fixtures, with a damp location rating that allows for use in semi-protected outdoor or humid indoor locations. It carries ETL listing rather than UL, and is not DLC qualified or Energy Star certified.

A key feature of this SKU is its compliance with California Title 20 and Title 24/JA8 appliance efficiency requirements, which makes it suitable for new construction and renovation projects subject to California’s energy code — a requirement that many standard (non-T20/T24) LED A15 bulbs do not meet.

Compatible Applications

General lighting — Residential and commercial fixtures using standard A15 bulbs.
Healthcare and school facilities — Damp-rated, enclosed-fixture compatibility suits institutional environments.
Hospitality — Dimmable operation for ambiance-sensitive spaces.
California new construction/renovation — Title 20/24 and JA8 compliance for projects subject to California’s energy code.

Before Ordering — Verify

Dimmer Compatibility: This lamp is Triac dimmable, but dimming performance varies by dimmer model — confirm compatibility with the specific dimmer switch being used before large orders.
Fixture Rating: Rated for closed (fully enclosed) fixtures.
Color Temperature: Confirm 4000K is correct — this Title 20/24 family is also offered in 2700K (85136), 3000K (85137), and 5000K (85139) as separate item numbers.
California Compliance Need: Confirm whether Title 20/24/JA8 compliance is actually required for the project — if not, Halco’s non-T20/T24 4000K A15 dimmable LED (item 85134, same wattage/CCT without the CA compliance) may be a lower-cost alternative.
Voltage: Confirm the application is 120V — this SKU is not a universal/multi-voltage lamp.
Environment: Damp rated only — not rated for wet locations or direct water exposure.
