Eaton FR240JEMT2 Recessed Light - Emergency Ballast
Part Number: FR240JEMT2
Quick Summary
The Eaton FR240JEMT2 recessed light delivers reliable marine interior illumination for recessed fluorescent applications. Engineers often struggle with limited space, corrosion exposure, and the pressure to meet NEC/CEC requirements on vessel projects. This fixture combines a rugged aluminum housing, an acrylic lens, and an emergency battery back-up ballast to deliver safe, continuous lighting in Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations while resisting salt spray and vibration. With a 53.13 inch overall length, a 4 ft lamp length, and a 2-lamp configuration powered by 120 V, 60 Hz, it fits standard shipboard ceilings and reduces installation time. For procurement teams, the result is lower risk, fewer field adjustments, and faster project completion through proven marine-application performance.

Eaton Specification Sheet - FR240JEMT2
The rugged aluminum housing with an acrylic lens delivers strong corrosion resistance and even light diffusion. This combination lowers maintenance costs and extends fixture life in salt-air, vibration-prone environments typical of vessels. It is ideal for crew quarters, passageways, and engine rooms where reliability is non-negotiable. The 53.13 inch overall length with a 4 ft lamp length and a 2-lamp configuration provides broad coverage at only 34 W. This reduces total installed power while maintaining brightness across long runs, cutting energy use on lengthy corridors and galleys. Shipboard aisles, crew lounges, and cargo spaces needing uniform illumination are well served. Recessed ceiling mounting keeps fixtures unobtrusive and protected from impact, while matching standard shipboard ceilings. This design speeds installation, minimizes headroom concerns, and improves durability in tight spaces. Overhead compartments and ceiling bulkheads benefit from glare control and a clean aesthetic. The emergency battery back-up ballast with a test switch ensures continued operation during power loss. This enhances safety compliance and reduces downtime in emergencies. Escape routes, stairwells, and essential workspaces rely on uninterrupted lighting. NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations rating provide regulatory confidence across North American fleets. This lowers the risk of compliance penalties and procurement delays while aligning with shipboard electrical codes. New-build and retrofit projects on commercial vessels requiring code-adherent interior lighting benefit from streamlined procurement and consistent performance.

FAQs
Begin by confirming available bay length (the fixture is 53.13 inches long) and shutting off the power circuit. Cut the ceiling opening, secure the aluminum housing, and connect the 120 V supply to the ballast and lamp sockets. Install the two 34 W lamps, then test the switch and emergency ballast function. Ensure NEC/CEC wiring clearances and shipboard mounting practices are followed.
FR240JEMT2 operates at 120 VAC, 60 Hz, with a total wattage of 34 W across two 4 ft lamps (T12ES). It features a 53.13 in body length, a 2-lamp configuration, and an emergency battery back-up ballast with a test switch. The unit is designed for standard shipboard power systems and offers reliable performance in ordinary locations.
Yes. The fixture is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations under NEC/CEC standards, making it appropriate for typical marine interiors such as crew spaces, corridors, and galleys. Its aluminum housing and acrylic lens withstand salt spray and vibration, while the 120 V, 60 Hz power input aligns with standard shipboard circuits. For hazardous areas, a different enclosure would be required.
The FR240JEMT2 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. These certifications matter because they confirm electrical safety, regulatory compliance, and compatibility with North American marine codes. This reduces risk during audits, streamlines procurement, and supports warranty coverage across fleets implementing similar internal lighting on vessels.
The robust aluminum housing and acrylic lens minimize corrosion-related upkeep, extending service life in marine environments and reducing replacement cycles. The 34 W load across two lamps provides efficient lighting for long runs, lowering energy costs. The integrated emergency ballast reduces downtime during outages, improving safety and uptime without the need for separate back-up systems.
