Six LED lightheads sit behind a clear lens, permanent-mount to a hardtop or cabin roof, and throw 19 selectable flash patterns. Runs 12-24 volts auto-sensing at just 10.5 watts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hella Marine MS6 LED mini lightbar is a compact amber warning strobe built for boats that need to be seen. It's a rectangular, low-profile bar that permanent-mounts to a hardtop, pilothouse roof, or cabin top, and it packs six LED lightheads behind a clear lens. Flip it on and you get a bright amber strobe. Leave it off and it just about disappears into the deck line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmber is the color you reach for when you're working, not racing. Think pilot boats, tenders running a mooring field, patrol and safety craft, dredge and survey boats, or any workboat that has to hold position or move slow while traffic goes by. The MS6 gives that clear, universally understood give-me-room signal without the legal baggage of red and blue. And because it's a Hella Marine fixture, it's built for salt air from the start, not an automotive part someone marinized after the fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get 19 selectable flash patterns. That sounds like overkill until you actually use it. Some patterns are attention-grabbing double and triple bursts for active work zones. Others are slower, steadier sequences for when you just need presence without strobing everyone's night vision. Pick the one that fits your job and your local rules, and you're set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is where this thing earns its keep on a mixed fleet. It runs on 12-24 volts, auto-sensing, so the exact same lightbar drops onto a 12V center console or a 24V workboat with no rewiring and no separate part number. Draw is just 10.5 watts, which is well under an amp on a 12-volt system. That's light enough that it won't bully your house bank on a long day. But do it right and wire it through a fused, switched circuit rather than straight to the battery. A 5-amp fuse is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting is permanent, and the rectangular mini-bar footprint sits flat. On a solid fiberglass hardtop you can through-bolt it and forget it. On a thinner or curved cabin top, back it with a plate to spread the load, keep the gelcoat from cracking around the fasteners, and seal the penetrations with a good marine sealant. On a fast RIB that pounds, plenty of riggers add adhesive under the base along with the screws so nothing works loose at speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne honest note on the wiring: the leads are short, about four inches. That's by design, it gives you a clean stub to splice onto. Just plan to run marine-grade tinned wire, 16 gauge is fine for this load, from that stub back to your switch, and make your solder-and-heatshrink joints somewhere dry before you seal up any deck penetration. Don't try to stretch four inches of factory lead across the console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lightheads are sealed LED units, so there's nothing to burn out and no bulbs to carry as spares. That's the whole Hella Marine fit-and-forget idea. Put it on, wire it once, and stop thinking about it. For a warning light that lives outside in the weather and the spray, that reliability is the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a real fleet advantage hiding in that auto-sensing voltage range too. If you run more than one boat, or you swap gear between a 12-volt skiff and a 24-volt work platform, you don't have to stock two versions of the same light. One part number covers both. That keeps your spares locker simpler and means the crew grabbing a replacement at 6 a.m. can't put the wrong one on. Small thing, but it adds up over a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing matters as well. This is a mini bar, not a full rooftop lightbar, so it fits boats where a big beacon would look out of place or catch too much wind. On a center console hardtop or a small pilothouse roof, the low rectangular profile stays out of the way of antennas, outriggers, and grab rails while still throwing plenty of amber. You get the visibility without turning your boat into a parade float.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you run a small commercial boat, a club safety boat, or a tender that has to work a crowded anchorage, the MS6 is an easy call. It's compact, it's bright, it's the right color for the job, and it's engineered for the water. Wire it in once and you've got a warning signal you can count on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 LED lightheads spread a wide amber warning signal across the bar for visibility from multiple angles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e19 selectable flash patterns let you match local rules or dial in the presence you need, from fast bursts to slow steady sequences\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-24 volt auto-sensing input runs the same unit on a 12V console or a 24V workboat with no rewiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10.5 watt draw pulls under an amp on a 12V system, easy on the house battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear lens over amber LEDs keeps the fixture low-profile and near-invisible until it's lit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRectangular permanent-mount base sits flat on a hardtop, pilothouse roof, or cabin top\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch wire leads give you a clean stub to splice into a fused, switched circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSealed LED lightheads mean no bulbs to replace, true Hella Marine fit-and-forget hardware\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 color does the Hella Marine MS6 mini lightbar put out?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAmber.
