Eaton FLC217 Marine Interior Lighting - NEC/CEC Certified
Part Number: FLC217
Quick Summary
Eaton FLC217 is a marine interior fluorescent luminaire designed to deliver reliable two-lamp lighting for shipboard spaces. On vessels, inconsistent illumination and costly maintenance can slow operations, but this fixture addresses those challenges with a copper-free aluminum enclosure and an acrylic lens built to withstand marine environments. It carries NEC/CEC compliance and is suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, giving engineers confidence in regulatory performance. The 120–277 VAC, 50/60 Hz operation and ceiling-mount design simplify procurement and retrofit planning, while the compact 2-foot length minimizes space impact. By combining durable construction with flexible electrical input, it supports efficient, maintenance-friendly lighting across diverse marine applications.

Two-lamp, 2-foot T8 configuration provides bright, efficient lighting with moderate power draw. This reduces overall energy consumption and extends battery or shore power margins on long voyages. It is well suited for crew spaces, walkways, and small cabins where space and power efficiency matter. Universal electrical compatibility (120-277 VAC, 50/60 Hz) minimizes cross-branch inventory and enables simple retrofits across fleets. The result is faster installation, lower spare-part complexity, and consistent performance from port to port. This is particularly valuable for mixed-voltage vessels and charter operations. Copper-free aluminum housing delivers superior corrosion resistance in salt-laden marine atmospheres. This durability lowers maintenance cycles and reduces repainting or enclosure replacements. Applications include engine rooms, galleys, and cargo holds where robust construction extends service life. Acrylic lens combines clarity with impact resistance, protecting the optics against vibration and incidental contact. The lens also contributes to long-term light transmission and minimal maintenance. Use in damp environments such as wet areas, passageways, or near deck access points where exposure occurs. Ceiling-mount design simplifies installation and retrofit in tight spaces, offering flexible mounting in bolted grid ceilings and overhead structures. The compact 24.75 in length aligns with common two-foot layouts, easing replacement of legacy fixtures. This translates to shorter project timelines and reduced labor costs during ship refits. Compliance and location suitability are reinforced by NEC/CEC standards, ensuring reliable performance in ordinary locations across vessel types.

FAQs
FLC217 is a ceiling-mounted, two-lamp fluorescent luminaire with a 24.75 in length and 7.25 in width. Plan for a 2 ft lamp length, secure mounting to structural members, and provide accessible ballast replacement. It uses copper-free aluminum housing and an acrylic lens, compatible with standard 120–277 VAC circuits for ships. For efficient service life, ensure proper enclosure ventilation and service access.
Yes. The fixture is rated for 120-277 VAC and supports 50/60 Hz operation, enabling universal installation on vessels with varying electrical standards. This reduces stocking complexity, lowers retrofit costs, and maintains consistent light levels from port to port. Its standard lamp type supports quick lamp replacements and minimizes downtime during critical voyages.
The product is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and NEC/CEC compliant, ensuring safe operation in typical shipboard interiors. Its copper-free aluminum housing and acrylic lens resist corrosion, while the ceiling-mount design simplifies installation in compact spaces such as cargo holds, engine rooms, and crew areas. This combination supports reliable operation within regulatory expectations.
Copper-free aluminum housing resists marine corrosion, extending service life in salt-laden atmospheres. The acrylic lens offers impact resistance and clear light transmission, reducing maintenance needs. The two-lamp design lowers ballast failures and simplifies replacement logistics, and the 24.75 in length eases retrofits in existing two-foot layouts, contributing to lower maintenance costs and higher uptime.
Installing FLC217 yields measurable ROI from energy efficiency in a two-lamp, 17W configuration and reduced maintenance due to rugged copper-free aluminum and a durable acrylic lens. With universal 120-277 VAC input, simple ceiling mounting, and NEC/CEC compliance, fleets save on installation time, spare parts, and downtime across vessels, improving operational reliability.
