FAQs
The FE28/2 features an adjustable single-lamp design with a compact 18.5 by 18.75 by 4.75 inch footprint and aluminum housing. Installers should follow the LBL1534 instruction sheet and ensure mounting points accommodate the fixture’s dimensions. With 120 VAC at 60 Hz, standard ship electrical practices apply, and the two-lamp configuration supports re-lamping without full fixture replacement.
FE28/2 operates at 120 VAC and 60 Hz, using a fluorescent T5 lamp configuration with a total wattage of 8W across two lamps. This makes it suitable for shipboard applications using common U.S. electrical standards, while delivering efficient lighting for interior tasks and chart work.
No. The FE28/2 is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations under NEC/CEC standards. It should not be used in hazardous or classified locations. For such zones, verify alternative fixtures with appropriate explosion-proof or hazardous-location ratings from Eaton’s Pauluhn line.
Official resources include the FE28/2 specification sheet, the FE215/FE28 Marine Interior catalog page, the installation sheet IF LBL1534, and a 3D CAD drawing package. These documents provide detailed mounting instructions, dimensional data, and accessory guidance to support accurate selection and installation.
The aluminum housing resists corrosion in salt-air environments, reducing corrosion-related maintenance. The two-lamp, low-wattage 8W design lowers energy use and heat output, contributing to lower operating costs. Combined with NEC/CEC compliance, the fixture supports regulatory alignment and longer service intervals, improving fleet-wide reliability and ROI on retrofits.
