Hella Marine 7118 Halogen Deck Floodlight, 12V, 55W, White Housing

Overview

The Hella Marine 007118051 is a 12 V halogen deck floodlight rated at 55 W for lighting up working areas on deck and around the cockpit. It uses a UV resistant polyamide housing that is reinforced with glass fiber and stainless steel hardware, which helps it hold up when it lives outside in sun, spray, and vibration. Overall size is 6 7/8 in wide, 1 3/4 in deep, and 5 1/2 in high, so it fits well on hardtops, arches, cabin sides, and other tight mounting spots.

This light runs on a standard 12 V DC circuit and includes a 55 W halogen bulb. Plan wiring and circuit protection for about 4.6 A draw at 12 V at full output.

Key features

• 12 V halogen deck floodlight rated at 55 W for area lighting around the boat
• UV resistant polyamide housing reinforced with glass fiber
• Stainless steel hardware to help resist corrosion in exposed mounting locations
• White housing that blends cleanly with many topsides and deck structures
• Compact overall size: 6 7/8 in W x 1 3/4 in D x 5 1/2 in H
• Includes a 55 W / 12 V halogen bulb

Installation and setup

Mount it where the beam can reach your work area without shining straight into the helm or someone’s eyes on deck. Halogen lamps run hot, so leave some clearance around the unit and keep it away from lines, canvas, and wiring that could be damaged by heat.

Route the cable with a drip loop and seal any deck or cabin penetrations so water does not track into the core. Use marine grade wiring and terminals, and keep connections protected from spray.

Compatibility and fit

This is a 12 V light, so it is not intended to run directly on 24 V systems without the correct voltage reduction. Before ordering, compare the overall footprint of 6 7/8 in by 1 3/4 in by 5 1/2 in to your mounting surface and confirm you have room to aim the light where you need it.

Use on board

This style of floodlight works well for docking and deck tasks, like handling lines at night, checking the foredeck, or lighting up a cockpit work area while rigging rods. It also suits owners who want a straightforward halogen deck light with a replaceable bulb for service down the road.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the light with fresh water after saltwater use and wipe it down with mild soap when needed. Check mounting fasteners periodically and replace the halogen bulb if output drops or the filament fails.
