{"product_id":"hella-marine-20-inch-led-light-bar-358197501","title":"Hella Marine Black Magic Tough 20-Inch Curved LED Light Bar","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Hella Marine Black Magic Tough 358197501 is a 20-inch curved LED light bar that throws 6000 lumens from 21 LEDs on a combo beam. It runs on anything from 10 to 30 volts, so it works on 12V and 24V boats, and the die-cast aluminum housing is made to take spray and vibration out on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever run a dark inlet or come back to the dock after sunset, you know how much a good deck or spreader light changes the night. The Hella Marine Black Magic Tough is a 20-inch curved LED light bar built for exactly that. It puts out 6000 lumens across 21 LEDs, and the combo beam mixes a tight spot for distance with a wider flood for the water right in front of you. That combination is what you want on a boat, where you're watching for crab pots up close and channel markers way out at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curve isn't just for looks. A curved bar wraps the light a little wider than a straight one, so you get more usable spread across the bow without adding length. At 20 inches it fits nicely on a T-top, a hardtop edge, a radar arch, or an aluminum center console tower. The housing is die-cast aluminum, which sheds heat and stands up to salt spray far better than the plastic-bodied bars you see on trailers and trucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is where this thing earns the Marine name. It draws 104 watts and accepts 10 to 30 volts DC, so the same light works on a 12V bass boat or a 24V cruiser without any changes. That said, 104 watts is real current. At 12 volts you're pulling close to 9 amps, so run an appropriately sized wire and a relay off the battery rather than tapping a small accessory circuit. We usually run 10 AWG to a bar this size and fuse it at the source. Do that and you'll get full, steady output with no dimming when you throttle up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lens is smoke tinted, which gives the bar a clean, blacked-out look when it's off and cuts glare a touch when it's on. The mounting bracket is black stainless steel, so it holds up in the same salt air the housing does. One tip from years of rigging these: put a backing plate behind the bracket on fiberglass, snug the hardware with locknuts and a rubber washer, and the bar won't work loose from hull vibration or pounding across a chop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anybody who runs before dawn or after dark and wants to actually see. Offshore guys heading out early, flats and bay anglers poling home at dusk, cruisers who want deck lighting for docking and anchoring. It's an auxiliary light, so aim it where you need it and keep it off in traffic the way you would any bright forward light. It's not a navigation light and doesn't replace your required nav lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward for anyone comfortable running a wire. Mount the bracket, land your positive and ground, and add an inline switch or a relay if you're pulling power straight from the battery. Seal the connections. We like a dab of dielectric grease at the plug and on any exposed terminal, because that's the difference between a light that lasts seasons and one that gives you trouble the first wet summer. Take care of the connections and the Hella Marine build takes care of the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick word on where to put it. The most popular spot is up high, along the leading edge of a hardtop or T-top, aimed slightly down at the water ahead. That keeps the light out of your eyes and puts it where you actually need it. Some folks mount a pair, one each side of a radar arch, for wide coverage when they're docking a bigger boat at night. Wherever you land it, keep the wire runs neat, support them every foot or so, and give yourself a little slack at the fitting so you're not straining the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHella Marine has been making lights for boats for decades, and the Black Magic Tough line is aimed squarely at people who want a bright, durable bar without babysitting it. It's the kind of gear you install once and stop thinking about. Fit it, wire it right, seal it up, and forget about it. That's the whole idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6000 lumens from 21 LEDs so you get real usable light for docking, anchoring, and running before dawn\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCombo beam blends a tight spot for distance with a wide flood for the water right in front of the bow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts 10 to 30 volts DC so the same bar works on 12V and 24V boats with no changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e104-watt draw delivers strong, steady output when wired to the battery through a proper relay and fuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurved 20-inch profile spreads light wider across the bow than a straight bar of the same length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDie-cast aluminum housing sheds heat and stands up to salt spray far better than plastic-bodied bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmoke-tinted lens gives a clean blacked-out look when off and cuts glare when on\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack stainless steel mounting bracket resists corrosion in the same salt air as the housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Hella Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat voltage does this light bar run on?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt accepts 10 to 30 volts DC, so it works on both 12-volt and 24-volt boat electrical systems without any changes or converters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow much current does it draw?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a 104-watt bar.
