Quick Summary

Eaton Crouse-Hinds Pauluhn FBN marine interior lighting provides compact berth illumination for shipboard berths. Engineers often contend with corrosion, moisture ingress, and difficult maintenance in confined berth spaces. This luminaire carries NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location classification, plus 120 VAC at 60 Hz. Its wall-mount, 2-lamp 8W design delivers energy-efficient illumination with straightforward installation, reducing downtime and maintenance costs for marine operations. By using standard T5 lamps and aluminum housing, service intervals are predictable, and fleet operators can stock common spares. The combination of robust construction and simple wiring also shortens crew training time while ensuring reliable safety margins in demanding maritime environments.
