Two-lamp configuration at 17W per lamp delivers bright, reliable output without excessive energy draw. This translates to lower utility costs and cooler running temperatures in enclosed marine interiors. It’s ideal for shipboard corridors, cabins, and engine rooms where consistent illumination is essential for safety and efficiency.Wide electrical tolerance simplifies integration with existing power systems. The 120-277 Vac, 50/60 Hz rating reduces stocking variety and supports faster deployment across vessels and offshore facilities, enabling procurement teams to standardize luminaires and cut order complexities.Recessed ceiling mounting conserves headroom and minimizes snag hazards in tight spaces. The galvanized steel housing provides corrosion resistance against salt spray and humidity, while a compact form factor streamlines retrofits and new construction alike.Acrylic lens offers clear visibility with resistance to impact and yellowing in harsh environments. This combination supports long service life under vibration and rough handling typical of industrial marine settings, reducing maintenance frequency and downtime.Terminal block with lamps installed facilitates straightforward wiring and quick lamp replacement. Onboard technicians can perform routine checks rapidly, lowering time-to-light and improving uptime in remote or offshore locations.Compliance with NEC/CEC and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations minimizes regulatory concerns during inspections and procurement. The 2-ft lamp length and T8 configuration align with common retrofit projects, helping you standardize parts across sites and fleets.
