Eaton Specification Sheet - FRS217J
Feature: 2-lamp, 17W, 2 ft lamp length. Business impact: Energy-efficient illumination that lowers operating costs while maintaining bright, shipboard-grade light. Application: Cabins, corridors, and galleys on vessels where space is at a premium. Feature: Recessed ceiling mounting. Business impact: Low-profile design minimizes silhouette and snag hazards, enabling safer, more aesthetic interior layouts on boats and offshore platforms. Application: Overhead lighting in tight vessel interiors where headroom is limited. Feature: Aluminum housing with acrylic lens. Business impact: Corrosion resistance and impact durability reduce maintenance cycles and replacement costs in harsh marine environments. Application: Marine interior luminaire exposure to salt air and routine vibrations. Feature: Wide voltage range 120–277 VAC and 50/60 Hz. Business impact: Flexible installation across fleets and international builds without separate transformers. Application: Global shipbuilding projects and mixed-power vessels. Feature: Area classification Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and NEC/CEC compliance. Business impact: Regulatory alignment minimizes risk, speeding procurement and commissioning. Application: Standard crew areas and non-hazardous shipboard spaces requiring formal standards conformance. Feature: Compact footprint and lightweight design (29.13 in L × 9.13 in W × 3.94 in H; 8 lb). Business impact: Easier retrofit in retrofit corridors and slim ceilings, reducing installation time and structural adjustments. Application: Vessel interiors where headroom and weight are critical considerations.

FAQs
FRS217J uses a recessed ceiling mounting method designed to integrate with standard 2 ft T8 luminaire footprints. The overall housing measures 29.13 in long, 9.13 in wide, and 3.94 in high, with an 8 lb weight, enabling a clean, low-profile installation in typical shipboard ceilings. Verify cutout dimensions against the ceiling structure and ensure the chosen location allows for the 120–277 VAC supply and access for service.
FRS217J operates on 120–277 VAC with a 50/60 Hz frequency rating and uses a 2-lamp, 17W T8 configuration. The acrylic lens and aluminum housing are designed for marine interiors, delivering reliable lighting performance across a broad voltage range without requiring special transformers or adaptors.
Yes. The fixture is designed for marine interiors and is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It adheres to NEC/CEC standards, making it appropriate for cabins, corridors, and other non-hazardous areas on ships and offshore platforms where durable, code-compliant lighting is required.
FRS217J is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards. These classifications support safe operation in typical shipboard interior spaces and align with common maritime regulatory expectations, avoiding need for additional hazardous-location adaptations in standard interiors.
The 2-lamp, 17W design provides energy efficiency and potential maintenance savings over higher-wattage fixtures. Aluminum housing and acrylic lens offer durability against marine corrosion, reducing replacement frequency. The recessed mount simplifies installation and minimizes ballast or trim-woss replacements, contributing to lower lifecycle costs on vessel fleets.
