Eaton FDA232PAREMT2 Interior Recessed Light - Emergency
Part Number: FDA232PAREMT2
Quick Summary
Eaton FDA232PAREMT2 interior recessed light provides reliable, low-profile illumination for marine interiors. Engineers often contend with salt-laden air, tight spaces, and the need for compliant, emergency lighting on board. This fixture meets NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, supporting safe operation in demanding vessel environments. The 2-lamp, 32W T8 configuration operates across 120–277 VAC with a 50/60 Hz supply, and includes an emergency battery back-up ballast for critical loads. Its parallel mounting and recessed ceiling mounting simplify installation in restricted ceiling plenums while delivering consistent light quality. For procurement teams, the durable steel housing and acrylic lens provide long service life with reduced maintenance, helping lower total cost of ownership in shipboard applications.
