Rapid Start Fluorescent Lamps for Marine and Shipboard Applications

These rapid start fluorescent lamps are engineered specifically for marine and shipboard environments. As part of our IMPA 79 Electrical Equipment range, they provide reliable, flicker-free illumination for engine rooms, passageways, accommodation areas, and other critical ship spaces. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of maritime operation, these lamps deliver consistent brightness and energy-efficient performance even under continuous use.

Utilizing advanced rapid start technology, these lamps ensure instant strike and stable light output without the flicker associated with preheat-start lamps. Their robust construction withstands the vibration and humidity commonly encountered during marine service, making them suitable for new installations or retrofits on commercial vessels, offshore platforms, and high-end recreational yachts.

Choose from a range of wattages and color temperatures to perfectly match your onboard lighting requirements. All lamps feature standard G13 bases and operate with conventional ballasts found in most shipboard luminaires.
