Eaton Specification Sheet - FLC217EMT2
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The FLC217EMT2 uses a 2-lamp, 17W T8 configuration to deliver bright, energy-efficient lighting with minimal power draw, reducing running costs on fleets and offshore rigs. This directly improves crew visibility during critical operations while lowering energy consumption and extending battery life for the emergency ballast; ideal for shipboard corridors and watertight compartments where space is limited. Application: Marine interiors requiring reliable back-up lighting during power loss, such as engine rooms and living quarters, with compliance to NEC/CEC and suitability for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper-free aluminum construction resists corrosion in salt-air environments, extending service life and reducing replacement cycles; installation is straightforward with ceiling mounting and a standard 2-ft length, simplifying retrofits and new builds. Application: New vessel builds and retrofit projects seeking durable, low-maintenance fixtures with predictable long-term ROI. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Acrylic lens provides resistance to humidity and impact while ensuring uniform light distribution, improving occupant comfort and reducing maintenance touchpoints; recommended for areas with frequent crew movement and potential incidental contact. Application: Cabin corridors and galleys where glare control and clear visibility are essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Emergency battery back-up ballast, one lamp, 277V max., test switch enable rapid verification of functionality and ongoing readiness; this minimizes unplanned outages and supports compliance audits. Application: Critical navigation areas and safety enclosures where continuous illumination is required during mains power interruption.
