Quick Summary

FT432 is a marine interior lighting fixture delivering efficient four-lamp illumination for onboard spaces. Engineers often wrestle with corrosion, glare control, and wiring compatibility in tight, salt-air environments. It carries NEC/CEC compliance and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, supporting safe, shipboard operation. Built with copper-free aluminum and an acrylic lens, FT432 lowers weight, resists corrosion, and eases maintenance. Its 120–277 VAC, 50/60 Hz compatibility and recessed ceiling mount offer quick retrofits and predictable performance for disciplined procurement. With design-for-service in mind, technicians will appreciate accessible lamp replacement and standardized componentry. This helps fleets reduce downtime during port calls and maintenance windows.

The FT432 delivers a four-lamp, 2x4 ft T8 lighting solution with an acrylic lens and recessed ceiling mount, providing uniform illumination across crew areas and cargo spaces. This design reduces glare hotspots and ensures consistent brightness, supporting safer operations and clearer readouts during critical tasks. With a nominal 32 W wattage and broad 120–277 VAC, 50/60 Hz voltage rating, the fixture works with common shipboard power systems without requiring special transformers, enabling lower energy consumption during peak duty cycles and simplifying electrical planning for vessel retrofits. Copper-free aluminum housing offers superior corrosion resistance in salt-air environments, while the lightweight construction lowers ceiling-load impact and eases handling during installations. The durable enclosure also minimizes maintenance needs, reducing repainting and protective coating requirements while preserving structural integrity over time. NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations ratings provide regulatory confidence for typical marine interiors, enabling smoother procurement and fewer scope changes. The unit’s robust lens and housing withstand vibration and temperature variations common at sea. Recessed mounting and precise dimensions (48.13 in L x 23.88 in W x 5.19 in H; 22.5 lb) support clean retrofit layouts in tight ceilings and coordinated multi-fixture installations. Access to documentation—CAD drawings, catalogs, installation instructions, and specification sheets—facilitates accurate quoting, faster approvals, and compliant field installations.

FAQs

FT432 uses a recessed ceiling mount with a 48.13 inch length, 23.88 inch width, and 5.19 inch height, designed for flush installation in standard 2x4 ft grids. Allow service access and lamp replacement space within the ceiling cavity, and follow the installation instructions in the referenced sheets (IF LBL1486) to ensure compliance and proper mounting hardware usage.
Yes. FT432 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards, making it appropriate for typical shipboard interiors such as crew spaces and cargo areas. Its 120–277 VAC, 50/60 Hz operation and 4-lamp 32W configuration support reliable performance within standard vessel electrical systems.
The unit’s 32 W consumption across four lamps delivers efficient lighting for a 2x4 ft layout, lowering energy costs over the life of the fixture. Copper-free aluminum resists salt-air corrosion, reducing maintenance frequency. The acrylic lens maintains clarity over time, while the recessed design minimizes exposure to dust and moisture, extending service intervals and uptime.
FT432 is designed for universal compatibility with 120–277 VAC supply and a 50/60 Hz frequency, aligning with common vessel power distributions. The fixture does not require unusual transformers for typical marine installations, simplifying electrical planning, wire routing, and procurement during retrofits or new builds.
