Hella Marine Value Fit Sport Series 12-LED Flood Light Bar, 8 in, Flood Beam, 10-30V DC, 36W

Overview

The Hella Marine Value Fit Sport Series 12 LED Flood Light Bar is an 8 in flood beam light bar for deck and spreader lighting where you want a wide pool of light, not a tight spot.

It runs on 10 to 30 VDC for 12V and 24V systems, draws 36W, and is rated at 2640 lumens (about 1700 lumens measured). The housing is die-cast aluminum to move heat away from the LEDs, and the stainless bracket lets you set the angle after mounting.

Overall size is about 8.2 in wide x 3 in high x 3.5 in deep (208 x 75 x 88 mm), which helps when you are checking clearance on a spreader, hardtop, radar arch, or transom area.

Key features

• Flood beam pattern from 12 LEDs for broad coverage on deck, cockpit, and work areas
• 10 to 30 VDC input for typical 12V and 24V DC systems
• 36W power draw (about 3A on 12V, about 1.5A on 24V) for planning wiring and protection
• 2640 lumens rated output with measured output around 1700 lumens for a realistic brightness expectation
• Die-cast aluminum housing to help shed heat during longer run times
• Stainless mounting bracket for aiming the light after installation
• Compact footprint: about 8.2 in x 3 in x 3.5 in (208 x 75 x 88 mm)

Variants

This light bar is offered in multiple configurations.

The difference between variants is the product color, while the electrical rating, output class, and overall form factor stay consistent.

• 357208001: Product color Black. A clean match for darker hardtops, T-tops, and arches where you want the light to blend into the structure.
• 357208011: Product color White. Works well on white gelcoat and painted aluminum where you want the fixture to visually disappear.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm you have a flat mounting surface plus enough depth behind the light for the wiring exit and for aiming without hitting rails, antennas, or canvas. For spreader mounting, check that the light can be aimed down onto the foredeck without shining into the cockpit or toward the helm.

Installation and setup

Mount the bracket to a solid surface and use backing washers or a backing plate where needed, especially on thinner fiberglass. Plan cable routing so the run stays protected from chafe and does not pinch at hinges or folding tops.

After mounting, set the tilt so the flood pattern lights the working area without creating glare. A small angle change makes a big difference with a flood beam.

Electrical and system integration

Wire it to a 10 to 30 VDC supply through an appropriately sized fuse or breaker placed close to the power source. For longer cable runs, use wire gauge that keeps voltage drop under control, and use sealed heat-shrink terminations in exposed areas.

It can be switched directly if your switch and wiring are sized for the load, or controlled through a relay if you want the helm switch to carry minimal current. Follow common marine wiring practices for strain relief, chafe protection, and corrosion control.

Use on board

This style of light makes sense for owners who need practical working light for docking, night deck checks, loading gear, or lighting up a cockpit and transom during fishing. The wide beam is also useful on sailboats when mounted on spreaders to light the foredeck and mast base.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt and grime off the housing and bracket periodically and re-check mounting fasteners as part of routine deck hardware inspection. If the light is mounted in an exposed spot, keep wiring supported and sealed so connectors are not sitting in standing water.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
