Output is 3500 lumens with 29W power draw, and the electronics support both 12V and 24V DC systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower comes through a 3.5 m spiral cable with a cigarette-style plug, so it is ready for boats that have a 12V or 24V accessory socket at the helm or in the cockpit. The integrated trigger switch sits on the handle for one-handed use and can be pulsed for Morse-code signalling when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is die-cast aluminium with a CoroSafe coating and is completely sealed, with IP6K8 and IP6K9K protection ratings for wet weather, heavy spray, and washdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-range handheld search light for navigation checks, docking, and emergency illumination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3500 lumen output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e29W power consumption (2.42A at 12V DC, 1.21A at 24V DC).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultivolt electronics for 12V and 24V DC systems, with protection against reverse polarity, spikes, and over-voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5 m spiral cable with cigarette-style plug for fast connection to a helm or cockpit accessory socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated trigger switch and handle for controlled use and signalling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-cast aluminium housing with CoroSafe coating and a fully sealed build rated to IP6K8 and IP6K9K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003ePower and connection\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis light is meant to be powered from a boat’s DC accessory outlet rather than hardwired. Confirm you have a matching socket and a circuit that can comfortably supply the load (up to 2.42A on 12V). If your accessory outlet is on a shared panel, keep an eye on voltage drop and connection condition, since handheld lights are often used when batteries are already under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt fits well on boats that run after dark or launch early, especially when you want a handheld beam to check channel markers, confirm dock cleats and lines, scan for floating debris, or find a mooring pickup without turning on every deck light. It is also a practical piece of kit for tenders, safety bags, and commercial crews that need a reliable search beam on demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eDurability in the marine environment\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sealed construction and coated metal housing are suited to salt air, spray, and the bumps that come with being passed around a moving boat. After use on deck, stow it where the cable will not be pinched, and let the spiral lead relax rather than keeping it tightly stretched for long periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse off salt and grime with fresh water, especially around the plug and cable entry, then dry before storage. Periodically check the cigarette plug and socket for corrosion or looseness, since poor contact can cause heat and intermittent operation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hella Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51550689951990,"sku":"APL670854","price":470.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/6658\/2518\/files\/1280513_apl670854.webp?v=1787798217","url":"https:\/\/www.apollolighting.com\/products\/apl670854","provider":"Apollo Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
