IP66 protection and a NEMA 4X enclosure redefine reliability for harsh environments, shielding the FPS232EM2XC from dust ingress, washdown, and incidental impacts. The fiberglass-reinforced polyester housing provides chemical resistance with manageable weight, ideal for plants, loading docks, and outdoor-adjacent spaces where temperature and humidity vary. A clear polycarbonate lens maintains high light transmission while resisting scratches and clouding. Application-wise, this fixture supports long runs and through-feed wiring to minimize junctions and accelerate installation on expansive floor plans. Through-feed wiring, along with one non-metallic cable gland and one end plug, simplifies ceiling mounting and daisy-chaining in large facilities. The 52.8-inch overall length and 4-foot lamp segments accommodate two-lamp configurations at 32W per lamp, delivering consistent illumination across bays while reducing fixture count. The T8 bi-pin lamps and secure lens design enable straightforward replacement and quick maintenance during scheduled downtime. Emergency battery back-up ballast provides illumination during power outages, meeting safety codes and improving facility reliability. This feature supports quick egress visibility and compliance with life-safety requirements in ordinary locations, reducing risk during outages. It also helps justify lifecycle ROI by lowering downtime-related losses and maintenance calls. Electrical compatibility spans 120–277 VAC at 50/60 Hz, with a through-feed approach that fits standard industrial power distribution without bespoke transformers. The fixture is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations under NEC/CEC, aligning with common industrial and commercial building codes. The clear IO and robust construction support retrofit projects and new builds alike. From procurement to maintenance planning, FPS232EM2XC delivers measurable benefits: fewer components to source, longer service intervals, and predictable energy use with a 64W total lamp load. The combination of IP66, 4X protection, and a durable housing translates to lower total cost of ownership in wet or dusty environments, while providing dependable emergency lighting when it matters most.

FAQs

FPS232EM2XC uses a through-feed design that minimizes field junctions by letting power pass from one fixture to the next. Installation requires one non-metallic cable gland and one end plug, compatible with 120–277 VAC supply and 50/60 Hz. In practice, this reduces install time, simplifies wiring diagrams, and lowers labor costs on long runs.
The IP66 rating protects against dust ingress and powerful water exposure, while the NEMA 4X enclosure guards against corrosion and washdowns. Coupled with a fiberglass-reinforced polyester housing, the fixture resists chemical exposure and broad temperature swings, making it appropriate for manufacturing floors, docks, and other ordinary locations where reliability is critical.
Yes, the model features an emergency battery back-up ballast, supporting one-lamp operation at 277V maximum during a power outage. It enables continued illumination for essential zones, aiding safe egress and compliance with life-safety requirements in ordinary locations. Regular testing and battery replacement are recommended per manufacturer guidelines.
FPS232EM2XC is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations under NEC/CEC standards with IP66 and NEMA 4X protection. This makes it eligible for general commercial and light-industrial spaces where washdowns occur but hazardous materials are not present. Always verify local codes and ensure proper mounting and wiring configurations for through-feed applications.
With two 32W lamps and a durable housing, maintenance cycles extend and lamp replacements are less frequent. The IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure reduces corrosion-related failures, and the built-in emergency ballast lowers outage-related risks. Through-feed installation minimizes labor time, while predictable energy use supports stable operating expenses and a favorable overall return on investment.
