Hella Marine Green Starboard LED Nav Light, 2NM
Hella Marine Green Starboard LED Nav Light, 2NM — Product description
This is the green starboard-side navigation light from Hella, a compact LED unit rated for 2 nautical miles of visibility. It runs on anything from 9 to 36 volts DC, seals up to IP67, and comes pre-wired with tinned marine cable. Surface mounts in minutes and meets the certifications that matter for legal running lights.
Every boat needs proper running lights, and on the starboard side that means a green light. This Hella unit puts out a clean LED glow visible for 2 nautical miles, which covers the vast majority of recreational and smaller commercial boats. The green acrylic lens sits in a black polymer housing that shrugs off salt, spray, and UV.
Wiring is about as easy as it gets. It runs on a wide 9 to 36 volt DC range, so it drops into 12V and 24V systems without a second thought, and it comes pre-wired with 4.7 inches of tinned marine cable ready to splice. Surface mount means a few screws and you're done. At just 2 watts, it barely touches your battery.
Sealed to IP67, it handles washdowns and boarding seas without blinking. And it carries the certifications that keep you legal, including IMO COLREG 72, USCG, and ABYC C5. If you're replacing a dim incandescent starboard light, this is a clean upgrade.

Frequently asked questions
Which side of the boat does the green light go on?
Green marks the starboard (right) side when you're facing forward. Pair it with a red light on the port side to meet navigation rules.
Will it work on a 12 volt system?
Yes. It accepts 9 to 36 volts DC, so it runs on standard 12V boats and 24V systems alike, no converter needed.
How far away is it visible?
It's rated for 2 nautical miles, which satisfies the visibility requirement for most recreational and smaller commercial boats.
Is it waterproof enough for an open boat?
It carries an IP67 rating, meaning it handles heavy spray, washdowns, and brief submersion. The black polymer housing and acrylic lens are built to live outdoors on the water.
How does it mount?
It's a surface-mount light. You fasten it down and splice the pre-wired 4.7 inch tinned marine cable into your circuit.
