Typical draw is about 1.7A at 12V or 0.9A at 24V (around 20W). The beam pattern is wide across the transom with a tighter vertical angle, so the light stays concentrated below the waterline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe housing is an advanced thermal polymer and the lens is Grilamid nylon. It is fully sealed to IP68\/IP69K for submersion and high-pressure washdowns, and it includes spike and reverse-polarity protection to handle real-world voltage swings on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultivolt 9-32V DC input for 12V and 24V boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite and blue modes; quick power-cycle to change output using a standard on\/off switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 1800 lumens (white) with 6000K white color temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP68\/IP69K sealing for underwater operation and washdowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal polymer body with a Grilamid lens that resists UV exposure and impacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-wired 2.5 m, 2-core tinned marine cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage protection for spikes up to +500V and reverse polarity down to -700V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprovals include CE and ISO 8846 ignition protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a 95 mm (3.74 in) round fixture with an 83.5 mm (3.29 in) mounting circle. It is intended for transom mounting about 100 to 500 mm (4 to 20 in) below the waterline, on a flat area without curvature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe A1 polymer housing is suitable for all common hull construction materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is a surface mount with a central cable pass-through (15.5 mm \/ 5\/8 in hole) plus fasteners around the flange. Seal all penetrations carefully; a semi-permanent polyurethane adhesive\/sealant such as 3M 4200 is commonly used for this style of underwater fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep screw torque to 3 Nm max to avoid stressing the housing, and use a drilling template to mark the cable hole and fastener locations before drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and switching\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lamp uses two conductors: red to switched positive and black to negative. On A1 Blue\/White models, the default mode is bright white; switching power off and back on quickly steps to blue, and the next cycle returns to white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse appropriately sized wiring and keep runs as short as practical to reduce voltage drop, especially on 12V systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse after saltwater use and clean the lens with mild boat soap and water. Avoid solvents such as isopropyl alcohol and acetone on the Grilamid lens, since they can cause crazing or cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for boat owners who want a transom-mounted underwater light that works on 12V or 24V and can be switched between white and blue without adding a separate controller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hella Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269742194869,"sku":"QBP054335","price":211.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1301178_qbp054335.jpg?v=1771545503","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp054335","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
