Setup and Installation
- Turn off Power: Before beginning installation, ensure the power to the fixture is completely OFF at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Select CCT: Locate the CCT selectable switch on the side of the bulb. Before screwing the bulb into the fixture, slide the switch to select your desired color temperature:
- 2700K: Warm White
- 3000K: Soft White
- 3500K: Neutral White
- 4000K: Cool White
- 5000K: Natural Light
- Install Bulb: Carefully screw the Satco S11782 LED Reflector Bulb into a compatible E26 medium base fixture until it is snug. Do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions
CCT Selection
The Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of the bulb is selected using the switch located on the side of the bulb. This switch must be set before the bulb is installed into the fixture. Choose from five distinct color temperatures to create the desired ambiance for your space. Once installed, the CCT setting cannot be changed without removing the bulb.
Dim-to-Warm Function
This bulb features a Dim-to-Warm capability. When connected to a compatible LED dimmer, the light's color temperature will gradually shift from 3000K (Soft White) to a warmer 2000K (Amber) as the brightness is reduced. This feature provides a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, similar to traditional incandescent dimming.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Satco S11782 LED Reflector Bulb, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bulb does not light | No power to the fixture; Bulb not screwed in correctly; Faulty bulb. | Check power supply at the circuit breaker. Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the socket. Test with a known working bulb. Replace if faulty. |
| Bulb flickers | Incompatible dimmer; Loose connection. | Ensure your dimmer is specifically designed for LED bulbs. Tighten the bulb in the socket. If flickering persists, try the bulb in a non-dimmable fixture. |
| Incorrect CCT (Color Temperature) | CCT switch set incorrectly. | Turn off power, remove the bulb, and adjust the CCT switch to the desired setting before re-installing. |
| Dimming not working or inconsistent | Incompatible dimmer; Dimmer settings. | Verify that your dimmer is an LED-compatible dimmer. Some LED dimmers have adjustable settings for minimum/maximum dimming levels. Consult your dimmer's manual. |
