FAQs
Installation starts with confirming space for a parallel-mounted, recessed-ceiling fixture. Mounting direction is parallel, with a 57.5 in length, 12.63 in width, and 4.13 in height to fit standard Pauluhn FDA interiors. Connect to 120–277 VAC, ensure the area is Ordinary/Non-Hazardous per NEC/CEC, and verify ballast arrangement for the two-lamp, 32 W T8 setup.
FDA232PAR-1 uses a 32 W, 2-lamp T8 lighting system powered by 120–277 VAC with a 50/60 Hz frequency rating. It features a recessed ceiling mounting method and a steel housing with an acrylic lens, designed for parallel mounting in marine interiors.
Yes. It is designed for marine interior environments and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It complies with NEC/CEC standards, aligning with typical shipboard electrical and safety requirements while enabling broad voltage compatibility and reliable service in vessel interiors.
The red filter tube with a separate ballast (one lamp) provides targeted signaling and easier fault isolation. This simplifies troubleshooting and maintenance in restricted spaces, reduces downtime, and can improve serviceability during routine inspections on ships or offshore platforms.
With a 32 W two-lamp design, 120–277 VAC compatibility, and durable steel housing, the fixture reduces energy use and maintenance frequency in marine interiors. Its compliance with NEC/CEC and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous ratings lowers regulatory risk, supporting longer service intervals and lower lifecycle costs for fleets and offshore operations.
