It runs on 10-30 V DC (12 V and 24 V systems) and draws 60 W.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight output is rated at 3,000 lm, and the housing carries an IP67 rating for spray and washdowns when installed with proper sealing and wiring protection. The bar measures 289 x 65 x 90 mm (11.37 x 2.56 x 3.54 in) and uses a die-cast aluminum housing with a clear polycarbonate lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis size and beam style make sense when you want one fixture that can light up a working area close to the boat while still throwing useful light forward for docking, line handling, and after-dark tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 high-power LEDs with a combo beam pattern (wide spread with added reach)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-30 V DC input for common 12 V and 24 V electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 W draw, roughly 5 A at 12 V and 2.5 A at 24 V for circuit planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP67-rated enclosure for wet environments and regular washdowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-cast aluminum housing with a clear polycarbonate lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall size: 289 x 65 x 90 mm (11.37 x 2.56 x 3.54 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel mounting fasteners help reduce corrosion issues in saltwater use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount it where the beam can do its job without shining directly into the cockpit or reflecting off shiny hardware. On a hardtop, radar arch, or mast spreader, aim the bar slightly down so light lands on the deck and transom area instead of the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a backing plate or substantial washers on thin panels, and bed any fastener penetrations so water stays out of the core. If mounting to aluminum structures, take basic anti-galvanic precautions at the hardware and contact points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a straightforward DC light with wire leads, so it ties into your existing switched circuit rather than a marine network. Plan a clean run back to a protected distribution point, and use tinned marine wire with heat-shrink terminations to keep corrosion out of the connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is a 60 W load, pay attention to voltage drop on longer runs to towers, arches, and spreaders. Keeping the wiring sized for the run and the environment helps the light stay bright at the fixture when the alternator is not running.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 289 mm overall length suits smaller boats where a long bar would look out of place or be hard to mount. It is also a practical option on sailboats where a compact spreader light can be positioned to light the foredeck without adding much windage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is auxiliary lighting meant for working areas and visibility around the boat. It is not a navigation light and should not be used in place of required running lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse with fresh water after salt exposure and check mounting hardware periodically for tightness, especially if the boat sees pounding or vibration. Clean the polycarbonate lens with mild soap and water and avoid harsh solvents that can haze plastic over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hella Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269003473077,"sku":"QBP457630","price":216.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298338_qbp457630.jpg?v=1771541420","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp457630","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
