Eaton Specification Sheet - FT417EMT2
Copper-free aluminum housing and an acrylic lens deliver excellent corrosion resistance in salt-air marine environments, extending fixture life and reducing maintenance cycles. This translates to lower total cost of ownership for fleets operating in challenging shipboard conditions, with reliable illumination in cabins, passageways, and work areas. The 2x2 ft footprint with a recessed ceiling mount provides a low-profile installation that minimizes headroom conflicts and simplifies retrofits across aging vessels. Four-lamp configuration at 17W per lamp delivers steady lumen output while preserving energy efficiency, supporting compliance with fleet energy goals and reducing operating costs. The emergency battery back-up ballast with a test switch enhances safety during power interruptions, ensuring essential lighting remains available in corridors and safety zones. The fixture supports 120–277 Vac operation at 50/60 Hz, enabling flexible integration into mixed electrical infrastructure without costly rewiring. At 14 lb, the unit remains manageable for marine technicians during installation and routine servicing, and its dimensions (24.13 in L x 23.88 in W x 5.19 in H) fit standard overhead spaces. NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classification further reassure operators about regulatory alignment and safe performance in everyday shipboard environments.
