S8 Wedge Bulbs


S8 wedge bulbs are similar to their cousin, the T5 wedge bulb, but with a larger base. Our lineup of S8 LED bulbs from Kichler is fully encapsulated to prevent moisture from compromising the outdoor bulb, making them a great lighting choice in damp locations. Their benefits include a small profile and omnidirectional lighting angle, and they are best realized in deck, step, and path lighting applications.

Integrating S8 Wedge Bulbs in Your Landscape

With output levels over 200 lumens, S8 wedge bulb LEDs are a great addition to any outdoor lighting scene. Available in a warm or neutral color temperature, these bulbs provide the soft glow that invites people into a space. With their small form factor, S8 wedge bulbs are meant to be used in tight spaces where space is a premium. However, you can also use them for path or step lighting, giving people awareness of potential falling or tripping hazards without the glare.

Even in a smaller size, these LED-based bulbs can last for tens of thousands of hours, reducing the need for upkeep. Most S8 wedge bulbs are also wet-rated, meaning they can withstand direct water exposure and still provide much-needed lighting.

FAQs on S8 Wedge Bulbs

What does the “S8” code mean?

“S” describes the shape of the bulb; in this case, the S8 is a “straight-side” bulb, which gives it a slightly taller profile. The number 8 indicates the bulb’s diameter, measured in 1/8-inch increments, which means that an S8 bulb has a diameter of one inch.

Where can I use S8 wedge bulbs?

S8 LED bulbs are a popular option for illuminating small areas like pathways and steps. A small batch of S8 bulbs can line the way at night or be placed strategically to bring attention to changes in terrain, allowing you and other guests to walk through with confidence. S8 bulbs are also a great way to bring attention to small details that would otherwise be ignored, like a bed of flowers, plaques, or tiny statues.

What is the difference between S8 wedge bulbs and a screw-in S8 bulb?

An S8 wedge bulb brings versatility. The wedge bases are usually smaller than their screw-in counterparts, making them easier to blend in with the natural surroundings. The wedge shape also makes it easy to install in fixtures because all you need to do is “plug” the pins into the corresponding holes in the fixture. As you’re doing so, make sure that you don’t bend the pins. Doing so can cause issues with the effectiveness and longevity of the bulb.

What is the lifespan of an S8 LED bulb?

Like most LEDs, the S8 LED bulb can traditionally last for up to 30,000 hours. However, you can easily lengthen its lifespan by conserving its use to specific times of the day. For instance, setting up a schedule ensures that the bulb is only activated at night. You can set this up with a manual timer, a digital version through your smartphone, or even with a photocell, which only activates your lights based on the ambient light available.

Why do S8 bulbs have a wedge base?

Unlike a traditional bulb base, wedge bases use pins to connect the bulb to the socket. This slimmer profile is beneficial for smaller bulbs where a round base might be too big and stand out among other fixtures. A wedge base also makes it easier to install or remove bulbs, though you need to be careful as the pins can be bent, which can affect performance.

What are the benefits of an omnidirectional S8 bulb?

Unlike traditional bulbs, these omnidirectional bulbs are better suited for illuminating the space around them, thanks to their smaller base and their overall shape. By lighting the area underneath, an S8 bulb is more effective at showcasing the immediate space around it, which is why it’s best suited for walkway and step illumination.
