Eaton Specification Sheet - FDA332PAR
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The FDA332PAR uses a 3-lamp T8 configuration with a 32W total load and a universal 120-277 Vac supply, delivering efficient illumination with versatile power compatibility across global fleets. This reduces energy consumption while maintaining consistent brightness in engine rooms and cargo holds, supporting cost-conscious maintenance routines in marine interior lighting projects. Application-wise, the 50/60 Hz operation suits both North American and international vessels, enabling smoother retrofits and long-term operational reliability in mixed-voltage fleets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The recessed ceiling mounting and parallel mounting direction streamline installation in tight marine spaces, lowering installation time and enabling cleaner ceilings in refurbished passenger compartments. This is ideal for new builds and retrofits where space optimization and aesthetic alignment matter for crew comfort and safety. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Steel housing and an acrylic lens provide robust protection against salt spray and mechanical impacts, extending fixture life in harsh environments while reducing replacement costs. This makes the FDA332PAR suitable for continuous operation in ordinary, non-hazardous locations aboard ships, ferries, and offshore platforms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance guarantees regulatory alignment across multiple jurisdictions, minimizing risk during port inspections and certification cycles. This supports predictable maintenance schedules, audit readiness, and lower total cost of ownership for marine lighting programs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 57.5 in length, 4.13 in height, and 12.63 in width establish clear space planning parameters for large interior areas, enabling precise layout planning in cargo decks and crew quarters. With a 31 lb weight, installations can be staged with standard mounting hardware, reducing overhead and downtime during upgrades.
