{"product_id":"hella-marine-blade-9-led-driving-lights-set-of-2","title":"Hella Marine Blade 9\" LED Driving Light Set of 2","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Hella Marine Blade is a 9-inch round LED driving light, and this set gives you a matched pair. Each lamp runs six LEDs behind a polycarbonate lens for a long-throw 120-watt driving beam rated at 13,200 lumens. Built for saltwater in a black aluminum housing, with black stone shield covers and mounting instructions in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you run at night, dawn, or in fog, you already know how much a good pair of driving lights changes the boat. The \u003cstrong\u003eHella Marine Blade\u003c\/strong\u003e is a 9-inch round LED lamp built for exactly that, and this listing is the matched set of two so both sides of the bow or hardtop throw the same beam. Each Blade packs six LEDs behind a polycarbonate lens and puts out a driving-beam pattern rated at 120 watts and 13,200 lumens. That's a long, reaching beam, the kind you want for spotting a channel marker, a crab pot line, or the dock at the end of a long run home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHella Marine builds these to their \"Fit and Forget\" standard, and out on the water that reputation matters. The housing is black aluminum, the lens is polycarbonate, and the whole lamp is sealed to take spray, wash-down, and the constant pounding a planing hull hands out. This isn't an automotive light someone re-labeled for boats. It's designed from the start to sit exposed to salt air season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beam here is a driving pattern, which means it's tuned for distance rather than a wide close-in wash. On the water that's a real trade-off worth understanding. A driving beam reaches way out ahead, which is perfect running offshore or down a long channel. Up close and slow, that same tight beam can throw glare back off the water, so a lot of boaters run these for the run and switch to their existing flood or deck lights for docking. Think of the Blade as your distance eyes, not your close-quarters work light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting is upright, and each lamp comes with instructions in the box. The bracket sets the lamp on top of a hardtop, tower, bow pulpit, or A-frame. A pair of 9-inch rounds looks right on boats in the 25 to 35 foot range, symmetric off the centerline. On smaller express cruisers, check your clearance to the radar dome and windshield before you drill, because a 7.87-inch round takes up more real estate than it looks like on the bench. Measure twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of rigging notes from people who've installed these. The upright brackets live in a high-vibration spot, so back up the hardware with lock washers and a dab of thread locker, and re-check them after your first season. Add a little dielectric grease at the mounting points and on the connections to keep the aluminum from starting to corrode where it meets a stainless bolt or a wet deck. Small steps, but they're the difference between a light that still looks new in two years and one that's chalky at the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the electrical side, take these seriously. Each lamp is a 120-watt load, so on a 12-volt system you're looking at roughly 10 amps apiece, which means the pair pulls close to 20 amps when both are lit. Run them off a proper fused, relay-switched circuit with wire sized for the run so you don't fight voltage drop and dim output at the far end of a long boat. A dedicated relay harness and a switch at the helm is the clean way to do it. If you wire them straight to a small dash switch, you'll cook the switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth lamps ship with a black stone shield cover. Those aren't just cosmetic. They protect the lens from spray, UV, and debris when the lights aren't in use, and they tidy up the look of a pair of bright lenses sitting on your hardtop in the daylight. Polycarbonate lenses can haze over time from sun and salt, and keeping the shields on when you're not running helps the lenses stay clear longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who's this set for? Anyone rigging a center console, express, or sportfish that runs before sunup or after dark and wants serious reach out front. Two matched 9-inch Blades, factory stone shields, and a mounting kit, ready to wire into a relay circuit. If you only need a soft, wide wash for cleaning fish at the dock, a driving beam is the wrong tool. But for punching a hole in the dark a long way out ahead of the bow, this is the pair you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMatched set of two 9-inch round Hella Marine Blade LED lamps, symmetric mounting off the centerline\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSix LEDs per lamp behind a polycarbonate lens for a clean, bright output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDriving-beam pattern rated 120 watts and 13,200 lumens per lamp for long-range reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack aluminum housing sealed for saltwater spray, wash-down, and constant hull vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUpright bracket mount suits hardtops, towers, bow pulpits, and A-frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo black stone shield covers included to protect the lenses from UV, salt, and debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting instructions included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoughly 10 amps per lamp on 12 volts, wire into a fused, relay-switched circuit\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 many lights come in this set?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTwo.
