The light is pre-wired with a 2.5 m tinned marine cable, and the body is sealed to IP68\/IP69 for underwater use and pressure-wash cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the white-lens version, built with a corrosion-proof thermal polymer base and a UV-stable Grilamid nylon lens. The face measures 95 mm (3 3\/4 in) across for a clean transom install on hulls of any material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable white or blue output, including steady and strobe modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite output: 1800 lumens at 5000K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultivolt 9-32V DC input (12V\/24V nominal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite\/blue draw: 20W (about 1.7A @ 12V, 0.9A @ 24V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP68\/IP69 sealing for continuous submersion and high-pressure water jet cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-wired with 2.5 m tinned marine cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal polymer base with Grilamid impact-resistant nylon lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse polarity and spike protection for harsh onboard electrical conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e95 mm (3 3\/4 in) diameter surface-mount footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eApelo A1 is a transom surface-mount light. Plan the placement so the beam sits below the waterline when the boat is at rest, with clearance from trim tabs, transducers, and trailer bunks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore drilling, confirm you have a dry route inside the hull for the cable and a clean surface for bedding and sealing. A good seal on every fastener matters on a stern that sees constant spray and vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe light runs on 9-32V DC (12\/24V nominal). With a 20W load, wire sizing and overcurrent protection should match the run length and expected voltage drop, especially on longer transom-to-panel routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe electronics are spike protected to +500V and reverse polarity protected to -700V. A standard switched feed can be used to change between white, blue, and strobe modes by toggling power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor installs close to radios and navigation gear, it carries EMC-related approvals including EN55015\/CISPR 15, IEC60533, IEC61547, and ICES-5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis setup fits anglers who want blue light around the stern at night, and cruisers who want bright white for swimming, boarding, and checking the waterline. The 5000K white reads clean on gelcoat and helps with visibility when dock lighting is low.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the lens clear for the best output. Rinse after saltwater use and wipe with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive pads that can haze the lens over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the boat stays in the water for long stretches, plan on periodic cleaning to remove growth. Any coating applied over the lens should be compatible with underwater lighting and should not interfere with sealing surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApelo A1 underwater light with 2.5 m pre-wired tinned marine cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting fastenings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hella Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269742719157,"sku":"QBP054977","price":229.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1301179_qbp054977.webp?v=1771545505","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp054977","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
