Eaton FT420 Marine Interior Light - 4-Lamp 120V NEC/CEC
Part Number: FT420
Quick Summary
FT420 is a marine interior fluorescent luminaire designed for 2x2 ft ceilings on vessels. In tight shipboard spaces, reliability and serviceability are critical, and outdated fixtures can complicate maintenance cycles. It aligns with NEC/CEC code requirements and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, featuring a copper-free aluminum housing that resists salt-air corrosion. With an acrylic lens and recessed mounting, the FT420 delivers consistent illumination while offering a favorable energy profile. This combination supports lower lifecycle costs and predictable performance for on-board lighting campaigns, extending operational uptime in demanding maritime environments.

Eaton Specification Sheet - FT420
The FT420 uses four 20W lamps within a 2x2 ft footprint, delivering 80W total while maintaining a compact, uniform light distribution. This translates to energy savings on longer deployments and improved workload illumination in crew quarters and machinery spaces. The 2x2 ft dimension fits standard ceiling grids, enabling rapid retrofits and minimizing costly field modifications. Copper-free aluminum housing provides enhanced corrosion resistance in salt-air coastal and offshore environments, reducing maintenance frequency and replacement costs. The recessed ceiling mounting lowers the fixture profile, reducing snag hazards and improving headroom in tight engine rooms and walkways. An acrylic lens offers clear light transmission and impact resistance, extending service intervals and simplifying cleaning in marine interiors. Compatibility with 120V, 60 Hz electrical systems streamlines integration with existing shipboard power networks and control schemes.

FAQs
The FT420 is a recessed ceiling luminaire designed for standard 2x2 ft grid installations. Use the included installation documents (LBL1521 sheets and the 3D CAD drawing) to align mounting points, pre-wire to a 120V, 60 Hz supply, and secure the housing to the ceiling. Its four-lamp configuration simplifies wiring harness routing and minimizes maintenance complexity in confined spaces.
Key specs include 4-lamp T12 fluorescent lighting, each lamp rated at 20W, total approximately 80W, 120 Vac, 60 Hz, copper-free aluminum housing, acrylic lens, and recessed ceiling mount for a 2x2 ft footprint. Dimensions are 24.13 in L, 23.88 in W, and 5.19 in H, with a shipping weight around 18.5 lb.
Yes. The FT420 is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it appropriate for typical shipboard interior spaces where robust, code-compliant lighting is required. This helps ensure regulatory alignment during audits and ballast-proofing for commercial marine applications.
The fixture uses copper-free aluminum for corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance frequency in salt-air conditions. Its recessed design minimizes glare and physical hazards, while the acrylic lens provides clear illumination and easier cleaning. With four lamps at 20W each, operators gain energy efficiency and reliable coverage in crew cabins, corridors, and engine spaces.
