Overview

The Hella Marine ValueFit Cube is a two-light LED kit used as a deck, spreader, or docking light on boats with 12V or 24V DC systems. It runs on 10-30V DC and uses four LEDs per lamp, drawing 12W each, with measured output of 690 lm (spot) or 600 lm (flood) depending on the version.

Each lamp uses a die-cast aluminum housing with a polycarbonate lens and an IP67 rating for rain and washdowns. The included harness, relay, fuse, and switch make it straightforward to wire as a dedicated auxiliary circuit at the helm, instead of tapping into an existing light feed.

This is a solid fit for skippers who want more usable light on the foredeck, cockpit, or around the dock without jumping to a full-size light bar.

Key features

• Two compact cube lamps with upright mounting brackets, easy to aim on a hardtop, radar arch, spreaders, or cockpit coamings
• 10-30V DC input for typical 12V and 24V boat electrical systems
• 4-LED optics with measured output tied to beam pattern: 690 lm (spot) or 600 lm (flood)
• IP67-rated lamp body with die-cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens for wet, exposed mounting locations
• Kit-style wiring with DT connectors, plus relay, fuse, and switch for a clean install and easier servicing later

Variants

This kit is offered in two configurations, listed here as Range options.

The difference between variants is the beam pattern. Spot concentrates light into a tighter cone for more reach, while flood spreads light wider for closer work areas.

• 357204821 Range: Close Range. Spot beam pattern with 690 lm measured output when you want a tighter throw down a dock line or ahead of the bow.
• 357204831 Range: Long Range. Flood beam pattern with 600 lm measured output when you want wider coverage across the foredeck, cockpit, or swim platform area.

What’s included

• Two LED lights with mounting brackets
• Wiring harness with DT connectors
• Relay
• Fuse
• Switch
• Mounting hardware
• Mounting instructions

Installation and setup

Plan the mounting location so the lamps can be aimed without the bracket hitting a handrail, spreader base, or canvas frame. The housings are compact at about 3.1 in wide by 3.4 in high by 3.2 in deep, which helps on tight arches and spreaders.

Route the harness away from sharp edges and moving rigging, and seal any deck penetrations properly. The relay and fuse are intended to be installed as part of the circuit, with the switch mounted where it is easy to reach from the helm.

Compatibility and on-board use

This is an auxiliary work-light style kit for DC systems (10-30V). It is commonly used to light up the bow for docking, to add spreader light on a sailboat, or to brighten a cockpit work area when handling lines at night.

When mounting high on a hardtop or spreaders, aim the lamps to avoid glare back into the cockpit and to keep light out of the helmsman’s direct line of sight.

Maintenance and care

For saltwater boats, a quick freshwater rinse after washdowns helps keep the lens clear and reduces buildup around the bracket hardware. Periodically re-check fasteners and cable support points, especially after rough runs or trailering.
