Broad voltage compatibility across 120–277 Vac at 50/60 Hz reduces panel diversity and simplifies procurement. This means easier wiring, fewer transformers, and faster installation for shipboard lighting projects, whether you’re upgrading a passenger ferry or refitting an offshore platform. The FR217JEMT2 is well-suited for marine interior applications that demand reliable, flexible power in constrained spaces. Two lamps at 17W deliver efficient illumination without excessive heat or energy draw. The business impact is lower operating costs and cooler engine room environments, improving crew comfort and uptime. This is ideal for long-duty cycles on cargo ships or offshore vessels where energy efficiency translates to meaningful savings. Emergency battery back-up ballast enables one-lamp emergency operation with max 277V, ensuring critical lighting remains during power loss. The value is enhanced safety compliance during drills and real incidents, and reduces downtime waiting for shore power. This is particularly important in corridors and hazard-prone zones on board where safe egress matters. Recessed ceiling mounting and an aluminum housing with acrylic lens deliver a sleek appearance while resisting corrosion. The application benefits include reduced maintenance needs and prolonged service life in salt spray environments, plus easier cleaning in food service areas or galley corridors. The fixture features a 2-lamp configuration that maintains illumination levels and simplifies replacement schedules, contributing to predictable maintenance cost and downtime planning. Compliance and installation advantages: NEC/CEC standards and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classification ease audits, while the recessed mount provides clean integration with maritime interiors.

FAQs

Installers should plan for a recessed ceiling mount with an overall footprint of 29.13 in length, 9.13 in width, and 4.94 in height. The fixture is designed for 120–277 Vac service at 50/60 Hz, supports dual-lamp operation, and includes an emergency ballast for back-up lighting. Use the included test switch during commissioning and follow standard shipboard wiring practices to ensure NEC/CEC compliance and safe operation in Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations.
The back-up ballast enables one-lamp emergency operation at up to 277V, ensuring visibility during power interruptions without relying on shore power. This improves safety in corridors and work areas, supporting compliance with shipboard emergency lighting requirements and reducing downtime during outages.
Yes. The fixture is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards, making it suitable for general interior spaces on vessels where hazardous environment ratings are not required. This supports safer, compliant installation across shipboard interiors.
Key specifications include 2-lamp, T8 configuration with a total wattage of 17W, a broad voltage range of 120–277 Vac, and 50/60 Hz operation. Aluminum housing and an acrylic lens reduce corrosion risk and maintenance needs, while the recessed mount streamlines integration into existing interiors.
The ROI is driven by energy efficiency (low 17W consumption per fixture), extended maintenance intervals from robust aluminum housing, and improved safety with reliable emergency lighting. Quick retrofits and NEC/CEC-compliant installations also minimize downtime and audit-related costs across vessels.
