Feature -> Business Impact -> Application. The FPS160 uses a rugged fiberglass-reinforced polyester housing and matte polycarbonate lens, delivering robust protection against moisture, dust, and impact. This translates to lower maintenance frequency and longer service intervals in harsh environments, ideal for industrial facilities where downtime is costly and reliability matters. The IP66 rating combined with NEMA 4X enclosure ensures continuity in wet zones, washdown areas, and dusty production lines, enabling compliant operation in ordinary locations without compromising safety or performance. The 52.8 in through-feed fixture supports uniform light distribution across long runs, while the 48 W output at 120–277 Vac provides versatile compatibility with existing electrical infrastructure, reducing the need for multiple drivers or ballasts and cutting installation costs. The 4 ft lamp length and T12HO RDC lamp type offer compatibility with common stock lamps, streamlining maintenance planning and spare parts management. The matte polycarbonate lens minimizes glare and enhances visibility for operators, improving productivity and reducing eye strain in assembly lines. The one-lamp design simplifies ballast management and reduces total cost of ownership while maintaining consistent light levels. By combining corrosion-resistant materials with proven electrical compatibility, FPS160 minimizes lifecycle costs and supports long-term budget predictability for facility managers and procurement teams. Industry professionals appreciate the through-feed wiring approach, which shortens installation time and improves wiring accuracy, while the enclosed end-plug design protects live connections from dust and moisture ingress. Overall, FPS160 aligns with industry best practices for industrial lighting, offering a reliable, maintainable solution that scales with expanding facilities and evolving safety standards.
