Hella Marine All-Round Anchor Light, 4 in

Overview

The Hella Marine 995002131 is a 2 nautical mile all-round white anchor light with a black base and a fixed 4 in pole for mounting on a 12V boat. It uses a 12V / 10W SV8.5 bulb and carries an IPX6 rating for heavy spray and washdowns.

The short pole helps lift the lens above rails and brackets without adding much height, and the non-magnetic construction makes it a sensible choice around compasses and heading sensors. The lens and housing are plastic that resists UV exposure and impacts, and the pole is anodized aluminum for day-to-day saltwater use.

Key features

• 2 nautical mile all-round white anchor light for true 360 degree visibility
• 12V operation with a 12V / 10W SV8.5 bulb included
• Fixed 4 in pole with anodized aluminum construction
• Base with two countersunk mounting holes, plus stainless steel mounting screws
• IPX6 rating for harsh spray and washdowns
• Non-magnetic build for installations near compasses and sensors
• Plastic lens and housing that resists UV exposure and impacts
• Meets IMO COLREG 72, USCG, ABYC A-16, and Maritime NZ requirements

Installation and setup

Mount the base on a flat, horizontal surface where the light has an unobstructed 360 degree view. Common locations include a cabin top, hardtop, radar arch, or aft deck area. Use marine sealant where needed, and confirm the lens sits level so the beam remains even all the way around.

Electrical and system integration

Wire it to a switched 12V DC circuit dedicated to navigation and anchor lighting. The unit is pre-wired with a short lead of about 100 mm, so plan a protected splice or junction inside the mounting surface or in a nearby dry area using marine-grade connections and sealed heat-shrink.

On-board use notes

This style of all-round white light is typically used when the vessel is at anchor or otherwise needs an all-round white navigation signal. It is a good fit for sailboats and powerboats that want a traditional bulb-style anchor light on a short fixed pole for a hardtop or cabin roof install.

What's included

• All-round anchor light assembly with fixed 4 in pole and black base
• 12V / 10W SV8.5 bulb
• Stainless steel mounting screws

Maintenance and bulb replacement

Rinse salt off the lens after rough weather, and check mounting screws occasionally if the boat sees frequent vibration. If light output drops or the lamp becomes intermittent, inspect the contacts and replace the bulb with the same 12V / 10W SV8.5 type.
