Part number
FAS260

Quick Summary

Eaton FAS260 linear fluorescent light fixture is designed to deliver dependable, through-feed illumination for industrial environments. It supports 120-277 VAC at 50/60 Hz and uses a 4 ft T12HO RDC lamp with a matte polycarbonate lens for durability in harsh settings. For engineers and maintenance teams, the challenge is sustaining lighting performance in dusty, wet, or temperature-variant facilities without frequent replacements. The FAS260’s IP66 protection, NEMA 4 enclosure, and NEC/CEC compliance address these pains by guarding against moisture ingress, corrosion, and miswiring. In addition to rugged housing, this fixture uses aluminum construction and includes one non-metallic cable gland and one end plug, enabling straightforward installation, reduced maintenance, and longer service life, aligning with uptime targets and total-cost-of-ownership goals.

Rugged housing and protective lens deliver long service life in tough settings. The aluminum body and matte polycarbonate lens resist corrosion, impact, and moisture intrusion, dramatically reducing maintenance cycles in wash-down areas and exterior environments. This construction keeps critical lighting online where reliability matters most, in sectors such as food processing, metal fabrication, and chemical processing, where frequent replacements are costly and downtime is unacceptable. Through-feed design and straightforward entry methods streamline installation and future wiring changes. With a single non-metallic cable gland plus an end plug, wiring is simplified, reducing field errors during upgrades or expansions. The 52.8 inch length accommodates a two-lamp 48W configuration, delivering uniform illumination along aisles, workstations, and production lines. Electrical specifications balance performance and efficiency. Operating on 120-277 VAC at 50/60 Hz, the FAS260 provides 48W of lamp power with a 4 ft lamp length, enabling reliable coverage without excessive energy use. The dual-lamp design improves spacing and reduces shadowing, boosting visibility and productivity in assembling, packaging, and logistics zones. Compliance and ruggedness support maintenance planning and regulatory alignment. Certified for NEC/CEC and rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, the fixture minimizes compliance risk in general industrial spaces. The IP66 (dust-tight and water-resistant) and NEMA 4 enclosure protect internal components from harsh washdown and outdoor exposure, lowering total cost of ownership through fewer service calls. Operational context matters; in environments like manufacturing floors, warehouses, and process areas, durable linear fluorescent fixtures like FAS260 enable scalable lighting schemes that meet evolving facility needs while preserving uptime.

FAQs

Installing the FAS260 in a through-feed setup involves preparing a 120–277 VAC supply, mounting the fixture on compatible supports, and routing wiring through the single non-metallic cable gland with one end plug. The two-lamp, 4 ft configuration fits standard 52.8 in spans, enabling quick wiring changes during line adjustments and capacity expansions while maintaining IP66 protection and NEMA 4 integrity.
The FAS260 operates at 120–277 VAC with a 50/60 Hz frequency rating and draws 48W. It uses a 4 ft T12HO RDC lamp configuration across two lamps. The fixture is built from aluminum, features a matte polycarbonate lens, and is designed for through-feed installations. Compatibility considerations include ordinary/non-hazardous location suitability and IP66/NEMA 4 protection for demanding environments.
Yes, the FAS260 is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries NEC/CEC standards compliance. It is IP66 rated for dust and water resistance and uses a NEMA 4 enclosure to protect internal components. This combination supports regulatory alignment and reduces risk in general industrial spaces such as warehouses, factories, and assembly areas.
Absolutely. The rugged aluminum housing, matte polycarbonate lens, and IP66/NEMA 4 protection minimize ingress of dust and moisture, lowering maintenance needs. The two-lamp 48W configuration delivers reliable illumination with predictable performance, while straightforward entry wiring reduces commissioning time. All of these factors contribute to longer service intervals and reduced total cost of ownership.
Plan for standard mounting supports compatible with 52.8 in fixtures and provide space for through-feed wiring. Use the included one non-metallic cable gland and end plug to simplify connections. Ensure mounting surfaces are rated for industrial luminaires, and verify that the installation location remains within the IP66/NEMA 4 protection boundary to preserve performance during washdowns and exposure to dust.
