Hella Marine MST3 Slim LED Strobe Lighthead, 10-30V, White Light

Overview

The Hella Marine 358117131 is a slim LED strobe lighthead that mounts flat and flashes white when you need a clear warning signal on board.

It runs on 10 to 30V DC, so it fits both 12V and 24V systems, and draws 3W. The low-profile housing measures 3.7 in long by 1.5 in wide by 0.4 in deep (94 x 38 x 10 mm), which works well when you need a light that stays out of the way on a cabin side, hardtop, console, or equipment area.

Key features

• 10 to 30V DC input for 12V and 24V electrical systems
• White LED strobe output with 12 user-selectable flash patterns
• 3W power consumption to keep electrical load low
• Multiple units can be synchronized to flash together or alternate
• Screw-mount installation with plastic housing
• 8 in (203 mm) lead with open wire ends for hardwiring
• Meets SAE J845 Class 1 and California Title 13 requirements

Installation and wiring

This lighthead is typically surface-mounted on a flat, rigid section of fiberglass, aluminum, or a solid panel. Keep the mounting area clean and firm so vibration does not work the fasteners loose, and route the cable where it will not chafe on edges or get crushed by hatches and doors.

The 8 inch lead comes with open wire ends, which makes it straightforward to tie into a dedicated warning circuit or a switch panel. Use a fuse or breaker appropriate for the circuit, and seal connections in wet locations with marine-grade terminals and heat shrink.

Use cases on board

This style of strobe is commonly used on commercial boats, patrol and security craft, towboats, and support vessels that need a compact warning light on the exterior. It is also a practical fit for dockside service work where a white strobe helps signal that equipment is active.

What's included

• Mounting screws
• 3M adhesive mounting tape

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.
