It's the reach-out-and-see-it lamp for boaters running before sunrise or coming home after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hella Marine Blade Series is an auxiliary LED driving lamp built for boaters who run before sunrise or push home after dark. This is the 6-inch round version, and it ships as a matched set of two. Each lamp puts out 8500 lumens of high-beam light from six LEDs, so you get real reach down the water instead of a wash of glare right in front of the bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe like these for hardtops, towers, and pilothouse roofs where you've got a clean spot to mount a pair of upright driving lamps. The high-beam pattern throws long and tight, which is exactly what you want when you're picking out crab pots, channel markers, or a mooring field at distance. It's a driving beam, not a floodlight, so think of it as your reach-out-and-see-it light rather than a deck-wide work light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe housing is black aluminum, and aluminum matters here. It sheds heat, and heat is what kills LED output over time. Run a high-output lamp in a sealed, enclosed pocket with no airflow and it'll throttle itself down to protect the LEDs. Mount these where air can move around the housing and they'll hold their brightness. That's just how high-wattage LEDs behave, on the water or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is flexible. Each lamp runs on anything from 10 to 24 volts DC, so it drops straight into a 12V boat or a 24V system without a converter. That said, 90 watts per lamp is real load. Two of them pulling together is a meaningful draw on your electrical system, so wire them through a dedicated switch and an appropriately sized breaker or fuse. Don't tap them off an existing nav-light circuit and expect everything to stay happy. Run proper gauge wire for the distance, and you're set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lens is clear polycarbonate. Clear gives you the longest, hardest-hitting beam, which is the whole point of a driving lamp. The tradeoff is that a clear lens shows spray spots and salt film more than a diffused one, so a quick wipe before a night run keeps the beam crisp. Each lamp also comes with a stone shield cap, so you can cover the lens when the lamps aren't in use and protect it from grit on the tower or debris on the trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHella Marine includes a steel mounting bracket and the hardware to hang each lamp. Upright mount means the bracket stands the lamp up off the surface, aimed forward. One honest note on the steel bracket: steel and salt air don't love each other long-term. Give the bracket a rinse when you rinse the boat, keep an eye on the fasteners, and if you run in heavy salt you may want to touch up any chips before they start weeping rust. It's a solid bracket. It just wants the same care you'd give any steel hardware on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who's this set for? Anyone running a boat that needs serious forward light and has the roofline to mount a pair of 6-inch rounds up high. Offshore boats headed out in the dark, bay boats working early tournament mornings, cruisers coming into an unfamiliar anchorage at night. If you just need a bit of light over the cockpit for tying knots and rigging lines, this is more lamp than you need, and the beam's too tight for that job anyway. But if you want to actually see what's coming a long way off, a matched pair of these earns its spot fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit and forget is the Hella Marine calling card, and these lamps are built to that standard. Sealed LEDs, an aluminum body that handles the heat, and a beam engineered for distance. Rig them right, feed them clean power, and give the steel bracket a rinse now and then. You'll get a lot of dark mornings out of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSix-LED array per lamp delivering 8500 lumens for long-range forward reach on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch round high-beam driving pattern throws tight and far to pick out markers, pots, and moorings at distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 to 24 volt DC input drops into both 12V and 24V boats with no converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90 watt draw per lamp for genuine high-output performance, wire through a dedicated switch and breaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack aluminum housing sheds heat to protect LED output and hold brightness over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear polycarbonate lens for the hardest-hitting, longest beam\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUpright-mount design with included steel bracket and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo stone shield caps included to protect the lenses when the lamps aren't in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a matched set of two for balanced forward lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHella Marine Fit and Forget build for reliable service out on the water\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\u003eHow bright are these lamps?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach lamp produces 8500 lumens from a six-LED array.
