Eaton 816AS Marine Exterior Light - IP66
Part Number: 816AS
Quick Summary
Eaton 816AS marine exterior light is a two-lamp exterior step light designed for rugged vessel environments. Builders and maintenance teams often struggle with corrosion, water ingress, and unreliable exterior fixtures in exposed marine locations. This luminaire delivers IP66 protection, NEC/CEC compliance, and an ordinary/non-hazardous location rating to address those challenges on decks and bulkheads. With copper-free aluminum housing and a frost-frosted tempered glass lens, it supports durable, low-maintenance operation while aligning with modern retrofit programs. Its recessed wall-mount installation and 250 VAC, 40W max per lamp capability complement both retrofit projects and new-build specs, while maintaining compatibility with standard A-19 lamps and common shipboard electrical practices.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 816AS
IP66 ingress protection provides robust dust and water resistance, reducing failure risk in spray zones and rain-prone decks. This directly lowers maintenance downtime and replacement costs for marine lighting assets, improving overall uptime in critical access areas. The recessed wall mounting offers a clean, low-profile installation that minimizes snag hazards and simplifies retrofits in tight bulkhead spaces, while delivering consistent illumination where it’s most needed. Copper-free aluminum housing delivers superior corrosion resistance in salt-laden atmospheres, extending service life and protecting downstream electrical systems in harsh marine environments. A frosted tempered glass lens softens glare, improving crew visibility without sacrificing lumen output, which translates to safer navigation and crew workflows on deck. The two-lamp, 40W incandescent configuration with a maximum A-19 lamp size balances light coverage with energy use, enabling economical retrofit approaches for existing installations. Compliance with NEC/CEC standards and ordinary/non-hazardous location ratings supports regulatory adherence and reduces permitting constraints during installation.

FAQs
The 816AS installs as a recessed wall fixture, mounting flush with the bulkhead rather than protruding. Use compatible mounting hardware, seal the housing per IP66 requirements, and connect to a suitable 250 VAC supply. Verify the two-lamp configuration uses up to A-19 lamps, and follow NEC/CEC guidelines for ordinary locations to ensure a compliant, maintenance-friendly installation.
Its IP66 rating, copper-free aluminum housing, and tempered frosted glass lens provide superior resistance to dust, water, and corrosion in salt-air conditions. The two-lamp incandescent design ensures adequate coverage on decks and bulkheads, while remaining compatible with standard A-19 lamps and 250 VAC circuits used in marine electrical systems.
Yes. The fixture adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This makes it suitable for shipboard exterior and interior bulkhead applications where compliant illumination is required without hazardous-area ratings, streamlining regulatory approval and installation within standard vessel electrical zones.
The unit measures 8.38 in length, 5 in height, and 3.75 in wide, weighing 3.6 lb. It is a 2-lamp design using incandescent lamps with a maximum size of A-19 and operates at 250 VAC, 40W per lamp. This configuration balances effective illumination with compatibility to common shipboard lamps and power systems.
The copper-free aluminum housing and rugged seal reduce corrosion and water ingress, lowering replacement frequency and maintenance costs. IP66 protection minimizes moisture-related failures, improving uptime on decks and bulkheads. The straightforward recessed installation supports faster retrofits, reducing labor costs and enabling quicker fleet-wide upgrades to compliant exterior lighting.
