Feature → Business Impact → Application. The FR232J uses a 4 ft, 2-lamp, 32 W, T8 configuration, delivering efficient illumination with a compact footprint that reduces wiring depth and panel impact on crowded vessel ceilings; this translates to lower installation time and reduced material costs on shipboard retrofits. The aluminum housing paired with an acrylic lens offers robust corrosion resistance and durable light diffusion, extending service life in humid, salt-air environments while maintaining easy cleaning and maintenance access in engine rooms and galleys. With a recessed ceiling mounting method and a 53.13 in length, the fixture delivers a clean, professional look that minimizes protrusions in tight marine interiors, enabling safer passageways and streamlined headroom. Universal 120–277 Vac voltage and 50/60 Hz compatibility simplify electrical design, reducing parts variance and enabling a single SKU for multiple vessels. NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location suitability address regulatory requirements, improving audit readiness and minimizing retrofit risk. The 14 lb weight and precise dimensions support logistics planning and on-site handling during installation, eliminating surprises and delays on fleet-wide projects.

FAQs
FR232J is designed for recessed ceiling mounting with a 4 ft length, 53.13 in overall run, and 14 lb weight. For shipboard installations, use standard ceiling cutouts sized to match the housing, ensure appropriate wiring within the 120–277 Vac, 50/60 Hz range, and follow NEC/CEC guidelines. The fixture ships ready for recessed mounting to minimize protrusion and improve safety in walkways.
FR232J operates at 120–277 Vac with a 50/60 Hz frequency rating, delivering 32 W total across two 4 ft T8 lamps. It is engineered for universal voltage input to simplify electrical design on mixed fleets, reducing the need for multiple part numbers and enabling a single SKU to cover multiple vessel applications.
Yes. FR232J carries NEC/CEC standards and is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it appropriate for general shipboard interiors such as crew spaces, corridors, and non-hazardous compartments. This alignment reduces compliance risk during audits and supports smoother approvals in regulated maritime environments.
The aluminum housing and acrylic lens provide robust corrosion resistance in salt-air environments, while the recessed design protects internal components from impact and moisture. Its 2-lamp, 32 W configuration offers energy efficiency and reduced replacement frequency compared with higher-wattage alternatives, lowering operating costs and maintenance cycles on fleets.
FR232J measures 53.13 in in length, 4.94 in high, and 9.13 in wide, with a shipping weight of about 14 lb. Such dimensions aid logistics planning for palletization and on-deck installation. The fixed 4 ft lamp length and 2-lamp configuration simplify parts stocking and cross-compatibility with existing FR interior lighting inventories.
