Eaton Specification Sheet - FRD232
With a 4 ft length and a two-lamp 32W T8 configuration, FRD232 delivers bright, evenly distributed light while minimizing energy use. This translates to measurable efficiency gains and longer ballast life, reducing replacement costs on busy vessels. The design is well suited for marine interior retrofit projects where lighting levels and space are tightly controlled. The unit’s 120–277 Vac, 50/60 Hz input provides universal power compatibility, enabling seamless integration across regional fleets and offshore platforms. This flexibility shortens installation time and reduces the risk of mismatched electrical systems. Galvanized steel housing and an acrylic lens deliver corrosion resistance and impact protection in humid, salt-air environments, boosting uptime in crew spaces and engine rooms. Recessed ceiling mounting provides a clean, space-saving aesthetic that simplifies retrofits and minimizes trim work. The NEC/CEC compliance for ordinary locations aligns with North American regulatory expectations, supporting insurance and safety programs while delivering lifecycle cost reductions. Overall, FRD232 combines robust construction with energy-efficient performance to support modern maritime operations.

FAQs
FRD232 supports a broad voltage range of 120–277 Vac and 50/60 Hz, enabling installation on many international vessels without additional transformers. This compatibility reduces equipment variety on fleets operating across regions, speeds up retrofits, and lowers stocking costs for spare parts while maintaining consistent lighting performance.
The FRD232 is a recessed ceiling luminaire designed for marine interiors. Typical steps include confirming a compatible ceiling cavity, mounting the galvanized steel housing, wiring to a standard 2-lamp T8 ballast setup, and securing the acrylic lens cover. The 4 ft length and 2-lamp configuration simplify alignment with existing hull layouts and minimize trim work during retrofits.
Yes. FRD232 is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries NEC/CEC standards, making it appropriate for crew quarters, corridors, and other non-hazardous cargo and living spaces. This designation helps satisfy regulatory requirements and insurance considerations for standard marine interiors while delivering reliable performance.
FRD232 complies with NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Its galvanized steel housing and acrylic lens are designed for marine environments, offering corrosion resistance and impact protection. These certifications and features support regulatory compliance, fleet-wide safety programs, and predictable maintenance planning.
The 32W per lamp, 2-lamp configuration reduces energy use compared with legacy systems, while a robust housing minimizes corrosion-related maintenance. Recessed mounting lowers trim costs and installation time. In practice, this translates to lower operating expenses, reduced downtime during replacements, and improved lifecycle value for fleet operators and maintenance teams.
