Eaton Specification Sheet - FBR18CO
The FBR18CO uses a single 8W T5 lamp, delivering efficient berth lighting with minimal energy draw and low heat generation, extending lamp life and reducing fuel-related cooling needs on board. This translates to lower operating costs and fewer ballast failures in harsh maritime environments, while the 120 VAC, 60 Hz input ensures compatibility with standard vessel electrical systems and simplifies electrical planning. Built with galvanized steel and an acrylic lens, the fixture withstands salt spray, humidity, and vibration, reducing maintenance cycles and replacement costs in busy crew cabins. Wall mounting provides space-efficient installation and quick retrofits in existing berths, enabling flexible cabin layouts without remodeling. The integrated 15A convenience outlet supports charging of radios, flashlights, and other essential devices, streamlining crew workflows and limiting cable clutter.

The FBR18CO is designed for wall mounting, offering a compact footprint that fits standard berth spaces. Installation is straightforward on vertical surfaces using existing marine mounting patterns; the galvanized steel housing and acrylic lens tolerate vibration and salt spray. For retrofits, verify wall stud alignment and use approved marine-grade fasteners to ensure a secure, code-compliant fit.
Yes. The fixture is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations under NEC/CEC standards, reflecting electrical safety and suitability for typical shipboard interiors. This means reliable operation in crew berths without requiring explosion-proof enclosures, while maintaining compliance with common maritime electrical codes.
The FBR18CO operates at 120 Vac and 60 Hz with a single 8W T5 lamp. This aligns with standard shipboard power systems, simplifying electrical planning and reducing inverter or ballast needs. Its 1-lamp configuration keeps energy draw predictable, aiding in load management and ensuring consistent berth illumination across varying vessel conditions.
The built‑in 15A outlet provides a convenient, centralized power source for devices like radios or chargers near the berth. Use proper marine-rated cords, avoid overloading the circuit, and ensure the outlet is kept dry and accessible. Follow NEC/CEC guidelines for branch circuit protection and keep spacings compliant with shipboard electrical standards.
Durability comes from galvanized steel housing and an acrylic lens designed to resist corrosion and impact in saltwater environments. Routine maintenance includes periodic cleaning of the lens and checks for secure mounting. With its energy-efficient 8W lamp and simple access for servicing, the fixture minimizes downtime and extends service intervals in busy crew quarters.
