Eaton Specification Sheet - FRD220
Feature: 2-lamp 20W per lamp T12 configuration. Business Impact: bright, even illumination with low energy draw reduces electrical load and ballast wear on vessels with long operating hours. Application: ideal for crew spaces, cabins, and corridors in marine interiors. Paragraph 2: Feature: Recessed ceiling mounting. Business Impact: clean aesthetics and improved safety with a low-profile installation that minimizes snag hazards. Application: shipboard interiors where ceiling access is limited or headroom is tight, such as cabins and corridors. Paragraph 3: Feature: Galvanized steel housing. Business Impact: corrosion resistance in salt-air environments extends service intervals and lowers maintenance labor. Application: engine rooms and interior spaces exposed to harsher conditions on marine vessels. Paragraph 4: Feature: Acrylic lens. Business Impact: impact resistance and moisture tolerance reduce replacement needs and keep optics clear in humid conditions. Application: areas subject to cleaning and humidity, like galleys and crew areas. Paragraph 5: Feature: Compact dimensions. Business Impact: fits standard 27-inch length cutouts and 10.81 inch width with 3.75 inch height simplifies retrofits. Application: retrofit projects across existing marine interior ceilings without major deck modifications. Paragraph 6: Feature: NEC/CEC compliance and ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Business Impact: regulatory alignment reduces procurement risk and accelerates approval processes. Application: new builds and retrofits in non-hazardous vessel areas, including passenger decks and living quarters.

FAQs
FRD220 is designed for recessed ceiling mounting with a 27 in length and 3.75 in height, requiring a compatible cutout and proper mounting hardware. Ensure ballast compatibility with 120 VAC supply at 60 Hz and verify your vessel’s spare wiring for 2-lamp fixtures. Consider space for the acrylic lens and allow for routine cleaning access; use the galvanized housing to resist corrosion.
FRD220 uses a 2-lamp, 20W per lamp T12 configuration, total 40W, powered by 120 VAC at 60 Hz. It measures 27 in long, 10.81 in wide, and 3.75 in high, weighs 13 lb, and features an acrylic lens and galvanized steel housing. It serves ordinary/non-hazardous locations and is designed for recessed ceiling installation.
FRD220 is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations per NEC/CEC, suitable for crew spaces, cabins, corridors, galleys, and other interior compartments. Engine rooms with hazardous locations would require different certifications; if the space is non-hazardous, FRD220 provides a reliable solution. Its corrosion-resistant housing and sealed lens support performance in humid marine environments.
FRD220 carries NEC/CEC standards and is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This helps with regulatory approvals, procurement, and installation planning on ships and offshore platforms. While not rated for hazardous locations, it integrates with standard vessel electrical systems and supports ongoing compliance in typical interior spaces.
The 2-lamp 20W design reduces energy use compared to higher wattage fixtures while delivering adequate illumination. Galvanized steel housing and acrylic lens minimize corrosion and maintenance costs in salt-air environments, lowering lifecycle costs. For maintenance, plan routine cleaning of the acrylic lens and periodic lamp replacement to sustain performance without vessel downtime.
