The Apelo A3 is the most powerful offering in Hella Marine’s renowned underwater lighting range, delivering an impressive 6000 lumens of intense illumination. Designed for discerning boat owners seeking maximum visual impact beneath the waterline, the Apelo A3 is available in both Blue/White dual color and full-spectrum RGBW versions. The dual color model includes a high-visibility strobe function for added utility, while the RGBW variant incorporates dedicated white LEDs for enhanced brightness and clarity. Both models are equipped with Hella’s signature Edge Light technology, which delivers an elegant glowing perimeter around the fixture to serve as both functional and accent lighting.
At the core of the Apelo A3 is Hella Marine’s Optical Intelligence, which ensures light is projected horizontally across the water’s surface rather than lost into the depths. This creates a wide, even transom illumination that is visually stunning from both above and below the waterline. The light beam features a 90° horizontal by 24° vertical spread, ideal for bathing larger areas in vibrant, uniform light. Built with a premium marine-grade bronze housing infused with nickel-silver for extreme corrosion resistance, the A3 is designed for long-term submerged installation on vessels with fiberglass, timber, composite, or steel hulls. Aluminum hulls require an isolation spacer for proper mounting.
The Apelo A3 is engineered for superior electrical and environmental durability. It features Hella’s Multivolt™ electronics for 12V or 24V systems, spike protection up to +500 volts, and reverse polarity protection to -700 volts. The light is rated IP68/IP69 for full submersion during operation and high-pressure water jet cleaning. A built-in high-temperature thermal cutout prevents damage when the fixture is operated out of water. The lens is made from premium-grade Grilamid® nylon, which is UV-stable and impact-resistant, ensuring clarity and strength over time.
Ideal for installation depths between 100–500mm and transom widths of 600–1200mm, the Apelo A3 comes pre-wired with 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) of tinned marine-grade cable for reliable marine connectivity. Apelo RGBW lights must be paired with an RGBW-compatible controller (not included) for full access to customizable color modes. Proudly made in New Zealand and backed by Hella Marine’s 5-year warranty, the Apelo A3 represents the pinnacle of underwater lighting performance, durability, and style.
