Eaton Specification Sheet - FEPC31A-32Y
Copper-free aluminum guard paired with a yellow tempered glass globe delivers robust impact protection and corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh industrial settings while reducing maintenance cycles. Business impact: lower replacement frequency and reduced downtime; application: chemical plants, offshore platforms, and washdown areas. In addition, the IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings provide reliable sealing against dust, water spray, and harsh weather, which translates to fewer field failures and enhanced operator safety in outdoor or wet environments. This is particularly valuable in facilities subject to washdowns or chemical exposure, where dependable illumination is critical for process visibility. The Hazardous/Classified Locations approvals (Class I, Division 1/2) ensure regulatory compliance, minimizing risk and avoiding costly rework during audits. For retrofits and new builds, the 32W CFL configuration with a Medium base delivers consistent performance and simple lamp replacement, improving maintenance efficiency. Ceiling mounting with a compact footprint simplifies installation and reduces structural impact, enabling rapid project timelines. With cast guard construction, the assembly resists impacts and helps protect the globe from accidental damage, a common concern in high-traffic industrial spaces. Overall, this solution supports uptime, safety, and cost containment across hazardous-area lighting projects.
