Product Overview

Satco S3515 – 20W MR16 Halogen Flood Lamp | 120 lm | 2900K | GU10 | 120V | 36° Flood | UV Block
The Satco S3515 is a 20W halogen MR16 reflector lamp with a GU10 bi-pin twist-lock base operating on 120V line voltage — not a low-voltage 12V lamp. It delivers 120 lumens at 2900K (Warm White) with 100 CRI and a 36° flood beam, making it suited for track lighting, recessed accent, and retail display fixtures designed for 120V GU10 line-voltage lamps. The lamp glass includes UV blocking to protect illuminated materials. Please verify specifications and California shipping restrictions below before ordering.

Product Overview
The Satco S3515 is a 20W halogen MR16 reflector lamp built around the GU10 twist-lock base, which is a 120V line-voltage configuration. This distinguishes it from the common 12V MR16 family that uses a GU5.3 bi-pin base and requires a step-down transformer. The S3515 connects directly to 120V line voltage in compatible GU10 track heads and recessed fixtures, eliminating the transformer hardware entirely.
At 2900K and 100 CRI, the lamp produces warm, color-accurate light well-suited to applications where color rendering is critical: retail display, jewelry cases, apparel, artwork, and restaurant dining environments. The 36° flood beam and 200 cd center beam candlepower deliver a controlled pool of directional light. UV-blocking lamp glass reduces ultraviolet output, making the lamp more appropriate for use near color-sensitive materials and fabrics.
With 120 lumens from 20W and a 2,000-hour rated life, the S3515 is best suited for applications where LED alternatives are not available or specified, or where existing GU10 120V halogen infrastructure is in use. For California installations, Satco identifies the LED S9383 as the compliant substitute.
Compatible Applications
- 120V GU10 track lighting fixtures and heads
- Recessed directional downlights with GU10 120V sockets
- Retail display and accent lighting
- Jewelry showcase and display case lighting
- Restaurant and hospitality accent lighting
- Any application requiring 100 CRI halogen performance with direct 120V GU10 connection
Before Ordering – Verify
- California shipping restriction: This lamp is Non-Compliant with California Title 20 and cannot be shipped to California addresses. California buyers should contact ADL Supply for the compliant LED substitute, Satco S9383
- Confirm the fixture uses a GU10 base at 120V line voltage — this lamp is not compatible with 12V low-voltage MR16 systems that use a GU5.3 (bi-pin) base and step-down transformer. GU10 and GU5.3 pins are physically different and not interchangeable
- If dimming is required, confirm the dimmer is rated for incandescent/halogen loads; LED-only dimmers will not function with this lamp
- Note the 1.88″ MOL; verify fixture socket depth clearance before ordering if the installation has a tight trim
- This lamp has a 2,000-hour rated life; if longer life or greater energy efficiency is the priority, Satco S9383 (LED) is the recommended alternative
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Disconnect power and allow a minimum of 15 minutes cooling before removing or installing this lamp — halogen reflectors operate at high surface temperatures
- Do not touch the lamp glass with bare skin; oils from skin contact can create thermal hot spots on the quartz envelope that cause premature failure. If accidental contact occurs, clean with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth before energizing
- Verify the fixture and socket are rated for 120V halogen use and for the 20W wattage of this lamp before installation
- Do not install near or against flammable materials; maintain fixture manufacturer’s specified clearances
- This lamp contains lead (California Prop 65 warning: this product can expose you to lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm)
- Dispose of in accordance with local lamp recycling regulations
Compliance
