Overview

The Hella Marine 958000021 is a 45 degree mounting bracket in a charcoal grey finish for the Surface Mount Strip Awning Lamp. It lets you cant the lamp down from a flat mounting surface so the light lands where you need it on deck, in the cockpit, or at the dock instead of shining straight out.

It is a practical add-on when the lamp is going under a hardtop, bimini frame, cabin overhang, or awning and you want a fixed downward throw. The angled mount also helps keep the lamp tucked in tighter to the mounting surface, which can reduce direct glare when you are moving around the boat at night.

Key features

• 45 degree bracket for aiming a surface mount strip awning lamp downward
• Charcoal grey finish for a clean match with darker tops, trims, and housings
• Made to suit the Surface Mount Strip Awning Lamp
• Useful when mounting under overhangs where a straight-out beam would cause glare
• Helps direct light onto steps, walkways, and work areas without relocating the lamp

Compatibility and fit

This bracket is for the Surface Mount Strip Awning Lamp. Before ordering, confirm your lamp model and check that you have room for the lamp to sit at a fixed 45 degree angle without interfering with canvas, doors, hatches, or wiring runs behind the panel.

Installation and setup

Mount it to a solid surface that can take fasteners without flexing, then attach the lamp to the bracket so the beam angle lines up with your intended coverage. In exposed locations, sealing the fastener holes and using corrosion-resistant hardware helps keep water out of the core and prevents staining around the mounting points.

After installation, power the lamp and confirm the beam lands on the deck or cockpit sole where you want it, especially if the light is near eye level. A small change in mounting height can make a big difference in glare and shadowing.

Use cases on board

This mount is a good match for boats that use an awning or hardtop light for cockpit seating, bait and rigging work, boarding steps, or lighting a side deck while docking. It is also useful on smaller cabins where a straight mount would point too high and waste light.

Maintenance and care

Rinse with fresh water after salt exposure and check the fasteners occasionally, especially in high-vibration areas. If the lamp is removed for service, re-seal mounting holes as needed to maintain a clean, watertight installation.
