Satco 80-1498 Fluorescent Lampholder

T12 High-Output Fluorescent Lampholder by Satco

The 80-1498 from Satco is a fluorescent lampholder designed for T12 high-output lamps with recessed double contact bases. It is suitable for replacing a holder or building a fixture that uses these lamps. Key features include a plunger-style design, slide-on mounting, and quick-wire terminals.

Key Features and Benefits of This Fluorescent Lampholder

Quick-wire terminals accept up to 18 gauge solid or tinned leads with a 3/8 to 1/2 inch strip length, which keeps connections simple. The slide-on mounting suits fixtures with a compatible slot, and the shallow base stays compact at about 1-3/8 inches wide. It is listed as cULus.

Where to Use the 80-1498 Fluorescent Lampholder

Use this lampholder as a replacement part or in a fixture build that takes T12 high-output fluorescent lamps with recessed double contact bases. It is a component, not a complete fixture, so it needs a compatible lamp, ballast, and housing. Confirm suitability before using it in damp areas.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Verify your lamp has a recessed double contact base and that the fixture accepts a slide-on holder. The holder measures 1-3/8 inches wide, 1-1/4 deep, and 1-7/8 high. Terminals accept up to 18 gauge leads, and wiring should be done by a qualified person following local code.

Additional Buying Context

A distributor lists a 660 watt lamp rating for T12 high-output fluorescent lamps, and the holder is white. Lumenco's page lists no warranty terms, so confirm coverage with the manufacturer if needed. Order the same count as the number of lamp ends you are replacing.
