Eaton FT332EMT2 Marine Interior Light - NEC/CEC
Part Number: FT332EMT2
Quick Summary
Eaton FT332EMT2 is a marine interior fluorescent luminaire with emergency battery back-up ballast for vessels. Engineers often struggle to guarantee consistent emergency illumination in compact, vibration-prone marine interiors where service windows are tight. It complies with NEC/CEC and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, helping crews meet code requirements and reduce risk in salty, confined spaces. The copper-free aluminum housing resists marine corrosion, while the acrylic lens protects the 2x4 ft, 32W T8 lamp array from humidity and impact. Its recessed ceiling mount simplifies installation in overhead spaces and minimizes snag hazards, reducing maintenance time and long-term ownership costs.

Eaton Specification Sheet - FT332EMT2
The FT332EMT2 uses a 2x4 ft footprint with a 3-lamp, 32W T8 configuration and an emergency ballast, delivering broad-area light with backup illumination. This reduces the number of fixtures required and lowers installed cost while ensuring visibility in passages, cabins, and work zones aboard vessels. Copper-free aluminum housing paired with an acrylic lens resists corrosion and staining from salt spray, extending service life and lowering cleaning frequency in harsh marine environments. Recessed ceiling mounting creates a low-profile installation that minimizes obstruction in tight corridors and overhead spaces, improving safety and accessibility during maintenance. A wide voltage range of 120-277 Vac and support for 50/60 Hz simplifies retrofits and integration with diverse shipboard electrical systems, reducing BOM complexity. The emergency ballast, test switch, and one-lamp configuration ensure regulatory compliance and straightforward verification during routine safety checks. Finally, the NEC/CEC rating for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations gives operators confidence in performance across typical vessel interiors, simplifying procurement and installation planning.

FAQs
Install the FT332EMT2 using a recessed ceiling mount to fit the 2x4 ft footprint in standard marine interiors. Connect to a 120-277 Vac supply operating at 50/60 Hz, ensuring proper wiring and alignment with the three 32W T8 lamps. Verify the emergency ballast and test switch function per installation instructions to confirm reliable operation during power outages.
The FT332EMT2 operates on 120-277 Vac across 50/60 Hz, with a total lamp power of 32W distributed across three T8 lamps. The fixture measures a 2x4 ft footprint and includes an emergency battery back-up ballast, supporting up to 277V maximum and a single-lamp configuration during normal operation as required by the ballast design.
Yes. The fixture is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and meets NEC/CEC standards, making it appropriate for typical vessel interiors such as crew spaces and corridors. Its corrosion-resistant copper-free aluminum housing and acrylic lens are designed to withstand marine environments while maintaining performance and safety compliance.
The FT332EMT2 carries NEC/CEC standards and is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This combination supports code-compliant operation on ships and offshore platforms, reducing compliance risk during procurement and installation in standard interior spaces.
The integrated emergency ballast and test switch enable quick verification of backup illumination, reducing downtime during outages. The copper-free aluminum housing and acrylic lens resist corrosion, lowering cleaning and replacement costs. Its 2x4 ft, 3-lamp design yields broad coverage with fewer fixtures, reducing total installed cost and lifecycle ownership costs.
