Hella Marine Mini Lightbar LED Warning Light Bar, Magnetic Mount, 10-30V, 16 in, Amber Light, Clear Lens, Flashing and Rotating, IP6K9K, SAE J845 Class 1

Overview

The Hella Marine 014565121 is a 16 inch LED mini lightbar that puts out an amber warning signal on 10 to 30 VDC (12V or 24V) systems. It supports flashing and rotating patterns and is sealed to IP67 and IP6K9K for rain, spray, and washdowns.

This version uses a magnetic mount for temporary placement and a 10 ft cord with an inline switch and DC plug, so it can be moved between the dock, the truck, and the boat as needed. At full output it draws up to 6.1 A on a 12 V system (2.8 A on 24 V), so plan power and circuit protection accordingly.

On board, it is commonly used as a supplemental warning light during towing, docking assistance, deck work, or when a service craft needs to be seen clearly in the marina. It is not a substitute for required navigation lights; use it only when appropriate for local rules and operating conditions.

Key features

• Amber LED warning output with a clear polycarbonate dome for wide-angle visibility.
• 10 to 30 VDC input to suit both 12V and 24V electrical systems.
• Multiple user-selectable patterns, including flashing and rotating modes.
• Magnetic mounting base for quick, temporary placement on a steel surface.
• 10 ft power cord with inline switch and DC plug for a power outlet connection.
• IP67 and IP6K9K sealing to handle heavy spray, rain, and washdowns.
• Polarity reversal protection and an operating temperature range from -40 C to +65 C.
• EMC protection to ECE-R10 and CISPR 25 Class 3 to help reduce electrical noise issues.

Compatibility and fit

This is a portable magnetic-mount lightbar, so it needs a flat steel surface for the magnets to hold properly. Many boats have stainless hardware and rails, but fiberglass and aluminum decks will not provide a magnetic surface on their own. If you plan to use it on a fiberglass or aluminum area, allow for a suitable steel mounting plate or another secure mounting approach.

Check clearance for the 16 inch length where you intend to place it so it does not interfere with lines, hatches, outriggers, antennas, or cockpit movement.

Installation and setup

Set the base down on a clean surface so the magnets seat fully, then route the cord so it cannot chafe or get pinched by hatches, doors, or seat bases. Leave enough slack for vibration and steering movement if used on a console area.

Keep the unit and its magnets away from a magnetic compass and other sensitive instruments. A quick check before heading out can save a lot of confusion on the water.

Electrical and system integration

Power is 10 to 30 VDC, making it suitable for typical 12V and 24V onboard systems. Full-load draw is up to 6.1 A at 12 V (2.8 A at 24 V), so make sure the outlet and wiring feeding it are in good condition and protected by an appropriately rated circuit.

If you see interference on radios or electronics, increasing separation between the lightbar wiring and antenna coax, VHF wiring, or instrument harnesses often helps.

Use on board

This setup is a good match for workboats, patrol and service craft, marina operations, and support boats that need a temporary amber warning signal during deck work, towing, or low-speed maneuvering in tight quarters. It is also handy for dockside tasks where visibility matters but you do not want a permanent install.

Use it as a supplemental warning signal only, and avoid using it in a way that could be confused with required navigation lighting.

Maintenance and care

Rinse with fresh water after salt exposure and wipe down the polycarbonate dome to keep it clear. Avoid harsh solvents that can haze plastics over time.

Periodically inspect the cord, plug, and the magnet contact area for wear or grit so the unit sits flat and stays secure in vibration.
