Eaton FT224 Lighting Fixture - NEC/CEC Compliance
Part Number: FT224
Quick Summary
Eaton FT224 Lighting fixture provides dependable two-lamp T5HO illumination for marine interior spaces, ideal for crew areas and confined compartments. Engineers frequently struggle with corrosion, maintenance downtime, and regulatory compliance in shipboard environments. This fixture delivers NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location suitability, plus copper-free aluminum housing and an acrylic lens to resist marine corrosion. Combined with 120–277 Vac operation and easy recessed ceiling mounting, it supports efficient, scalable installations. In practice, the 2×2 ft footprint and 24W total lamp output yield predictable lighting levels while reducing energy use. This aligns with maritime procurement goals for reliability, maintainability, and cost of ownership. By choosing FT224, engineering teams simplify specification, installation scheduling, and spare-part planning across fleets.

FAQs
FT224 is designed for recessed ceiling installation in standard 2x2 ft grids. It uses a copper-free aluminum housing with an acrylic lens and supports two T5HO lamps for a total of 24 W. Operating at 120–277 Vac and 50/60 Hz, it integrates with common commercial power systems. Verify ballast compatibility and ensure access for maintenance.
FT224 features two T5HO lamps for a total of 24 W. It operates on 120–277 Vac, with 50/60 Hz frequency, and has a 2×2 ft form factor. The copper-free aluminum housing and acrylic lens deliver durability in marine interiors while the recessed ceiling mount simplifies installation and reduces glare in confined spaces.
It is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, making it suitable for protected marine interiors such as galleys and crew quarters. It adheres to NEC/CEC standards for electrical safety and performance, ensuring reliable operation in challenging marine conditions. The combination of durable copper-free aluminum and a robust acrylic lens helps mitigate corrosion risks while maintaining light quality.
Recessed ceiling mounting streamlines installation in overhead spaces common on ships and offshore facilities. The 2-lamp, 24W design minimizes energy use while maintaining brightness across 2Ă—2 ft footprints. Maintenance is straightforward due to accessible ballast and lamp replacement in standard channels, and the copper-free aluminum housing resists corrosion in humid environments, reducing maintenance frequency and lifecycle costs.
By delivering 24 W across two lamps with a 2Ă—2 ft face, FT224 reduces energy consumption compared with older 4 ft fixtures while maintaining adequate illumination. Its durable housing resists coastal corrosion, lowering replacement cycles. With NEC/CEC compliance and easy installation, fleets can shorten commissioning times and reduce total cost of ownership over the fixture's lifecycle.
