Eaton FRD232TL Fluorescent Recessed Light - NEC/CEC

Rugged marine-grade construction provides corrosion resistance and vibration tolerance, reducing panel downtime and replacement costs in harsh sea environments. The FRD232TL uses galvanized steel housing and an impact-resistant acrylic lens to withstand bilge splashes, cargo shifts, and continuous operation aboard ships. This durability translates into longer service intervals and lower lifecycle ownership costs for fleet operators and shipyards. Two-lamp, 4 ft length with a 32W wattage delivers efficient, consistent illumination across crew quarters, corridors, and machinery spaces. The T8 configuration is compatible with widely used ballast options and retrofit kits, helping procurement teams meet standardization goals while maintaining light levels required for task performance. By consolidating lighting loads into a single, compact fixture, installation times are reduced and space is optimized. Recessed ceiling mounting provides a clean aesthetic while protecting lamps from physical impact in tight engine rooms and cargo areas. The fixture dimensions fit typical vessel cutouts, simplifying design integration. The included terminal block and lamps-installed feature streamline wiring and commissioning, reducing risk of field wiring errors. Power versatility remains a key value: 120–277 VAC with 50/60 Hz operation supports diverse shipboard electrical systems without requiring specialized transformers. This flexibility minimizes inventory and accelerates deployment across mixed fleets. The ordinary/non-hazardous location classification aligns with regulatory expectations for many interior spaces, avoiding unnecessary hazardous-area enhancements. From a compliance and maintenance perspective, NEC/CEC standards recognition gives engineers confidence during audits, while fixed-lamp reliability improves predictability of light output and supports predictive maintenance strategies.
