Hella Marine LED Recess Strip Lamp, 12V, White LED, Wide Rim, 265mm

Overview

The Hella Marine 959073001 is a white LED recess strip courtesy lamp for 12V DC systems, built with a wide rim for a tidy flush finish. It draws under 2.0W (under 0.16A at 12V), so it can stay on for dockside or night moves without putting much load on the house bank.

This strip format is a practical fit for steps, toe-kicks, companionways, lockers, and other spots where you want light close to the deck. The lamp comes pre-wired with 2.5 m of cable, which helps when the nearest bus bar or switch panel is not right behind the mounting surface.

Key features

• 12V DC white LED strip lamp with power draw under 2.0W (under 0.16A at 12V)
• Two-hole recess mount with a wide rim and screw caps for a clean finished look
• Mounting footprint: 265 mm overall length, 33 mm overall width, 237.5 mm mounting hole centres
• Cut-out size: 217 mm x 20 mm, with about 29 mm clearance needed behind the panel
• IP6K7 and IP6K9K protection for dust, temporary immersion, and high-pressure washdowns
• Pre-wired with 2.5 m cable and reverse polarity protection for easier installs
• PMMA lens material for resistance to UV exposure and common cleaning chemicals

Installation and fit

Plan the cut-out (217 mm x 20 mm) and confirm you have room behind the mounting surface for the lamp body (about 29 mm). The wide rim covers the edge of the cut-out, then the lamp secures with two screws on 237.5 mm centres. Avoid over-tightening the mounting screws into the lens area.

Electrical and wiring notes

This lamp is polarity conscious. Connect the cable with the red stripe to positive (+) and the black cable to negative (-). Protect the circuit with a fuse rated at 2A maximum.

Light output reduces as input voltage is lowered, which works well with analogue dimming approaches that drop DC input. For 12V installations, avoid continuous supply voltage above 16V.

On-board use

This style of strip lamp suits boats that need low-glare courtesy lighting along steps, under-gunwale storage, or around the cockpit and cabin where you want visibility without flooding the space with light. It is a good match for owners running long wire routes who still want a clean recessed install and sealed protection for wet areas.

What’s included

• 1 lamp with 2.5 m cable
• 2 black stainless steel screws
• 2 screw caps
• 2 cable connectors

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.
