Eaton FRD217EM2 Marine Interior Luminaire - Back-up Ballast

2-lamp, 2 ft T8 configuration delivers higher lumen output with low energy use, offering 34W total across both lamps for efficient shipboard lighting and reduced operating costs. This configuration supports redundancy in critical crew spaces, improving uptime during power interruptions and enhancing safety in low-visibility conditions on deck or in passages. The emergency battery back-up ballast (277V max) provides immediate lighting during outages, helping meet life-safety requirements and supporting compliant evacuation lighting strategies in maritime environments.Durable galvanized steel housing combined with an acrylic lens delivers robust corrosion resistance and easy cleaning in salt air, splash-prone areas, and humid climates. This protective envelope reduces maintenance frequency and extends service life while preserving optical clarity and glare control for comfortable long-duration operation on board ships or offshore platforms. The recessed ceiling mounting creates a sleek, low-profile aesthetic that minimizes snag hazards and simplifies retrofits in existing mariner interiors.Operating across 120–277 Vac and 50/60 Hz makes FRD217EM2 compatible with global electrical systems, permitting centralized procurement and simplified spares management. The 27 in length, 10.81 in width, and 3.75 in height provide scalable coverage for standard interior bays and galley spaces, enabling consistent light levels across multiple compartments. With NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location classification, this luminaire supports regulatory alignment and reduces compliance risk for fleet operators. Long-term, the combination of energy efficiency, emergency back-up capability, and durable construction translates to lower total cost of ownership in marine operations.
