Eaton FRD217 Lighting & Emergency Systems - T8 2-lamp
Part Number: FRD217
Quick Summary
FRD217 lighting & emergency system provides reliable, two-lamp interior illumination for marine environments. Engineers face challenges selecting fixtures that fit tight ceilings, resist corrosion, and tolerate broad mains voltages. Built for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, it meets NEC/CEC standards and operates at 50/60 Hz across 120–277 V. Recessed ceiling mounting, galvanized steel housing, and an acrylic lens combine durability with easy maintenance, while the 2 ft lamp length aligns with modular marine layouts. With 17 watts per lamp, the two-lamp FRD217 delivers energy-efficient performance suitable for long vessel deployments without frequent replacements. This combination supports lower operating costs and improved reliability across fleet deployments.

FAQs
FRD217 uses a recessed ceiling mounting method designed for tight spaces common in marine interiors. The galvanized steel housing and acrylic lens are built for corrosion resistance, and installation aligns with standard 2 ft lamp fixtures, simplifying retrofits on vessels with limited headroom.
FRD217 is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and conforms to NEC/CEC standards. This combination supports regulatory compliance on marine vessels and reduces risk when selecting interior lighting for cabins, corridors, and galleys.
Yes. FRD217 operates over 120-277 Vac with a 50/60 Hz frequency rating, enabling seamless use on vessels with differing electrical distributions, minimizing the need for voltage conversion or transformers.
FRD217 features a 2 ft lamp length and a 27 in overall fixture length, designed to fit common FRD interior layouts. Its recessed mounting and modular 2-lamp design support consistent spacing across continuous plank or cabin lighting schemes.
With galvanised steel housing and an acrylic lens, FRD217 offers durable protection against marine humidity and corrosion. The 17W per lamp, 2-lamp configuration helps reduce replacement frequency and maintenance labor, contributing to lower total cost of ownership on vessel deployments.
