It flush-mounts nearly flat into a console pocket, runs on 12 or 24 volts, and is sealed to the Hella Marine fit-and-forget standard. A clean, low-draw cockpit and deck light for smaller boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hella Marine Optilux 357203031 is a compact LED flood light built for boats that need clean, wide light without a bulky housing eating up console space. Six LEDs put out 1000 lumens at 18 watts, and the flood beam spreads that light wide instead of throwing it in a tight column. At 7.7 inches long and just 2.4 inches tall, it tucks into a flush-mount pocket and sits nearly flat against the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere does a light like this earn its spot? Cockpit wash lighting, mostly. The flood pattern lights up a wide work area behind the helm, which is exactly what you want when you're rigging lines, cleaning fish, or loading gear after dark. It also works as a spreader light on smaller boats. On a center console up into the low 30-foot range, one of these throws enough light to work the deck. Go bigger than that and you'll want a second unit or a higher-output bar, because 1000 lumens spread wide only covers so much real estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to keep in mind: it's a flood, not a spot. That wide spread is great for washing a deck, but point it forward off the bow and it'll throw glare back at you off the rails and pulpit. If you want a forward-facing light for spotting a mooring or a channel marker, pair this with a spot-beam unit and keep the flood for close-in work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LEDs run cool and pull far less current than an old halogen spreader, which matters on a boat where every amp counts at anchor. And because there's no filament, vibration from a pounding ride or a slamming hatch won't kill it. That's the real win with LED deck lighting. It just keeps working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is a flush mount, so you're cutting a pocket rather than surface-bolting a bracket. Measure twice. The cutout needs to be clean and sized right, and on fiberglass or gelcoat a rushed hole can crack the surface. Use a template, drill your corners, and work up to size with a step bit rather than forcing it. The housing seats into a recess around an inch and a half deep, which suits most molded console pockets. On a thin aluminum console it may stand a little proud, so check your panel thickness before you cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWiring is straightforward. At 18 watts the current draw is low, so 14-gauge tinned marine wire handles it easily on a short run. Fuse it at 5 amps. If you're running more than 15 feet back to the panel, watch for voltage drop and step up a wire size if the light looks dim. It's multi-voltage, rated 10 to 30 volts, so it drops onto a 12-volt or a 24-volt system without any changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black aluminum housing looks sharp, but black hardware in salt air wants a little care. Hit the mounting screws with dielectric grease at install and they'll come back out clean years later instead of seizing. Give the lens an occasional wipe and a fresh-water rinse when you rinse the boat. These are sealed units built to the Hella Marine fit-and-forget standard, but a few minutes of attention at install pays off over seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHella Marine has been building deck and courtesy lighting for boats for decades, and the Optilux line is their compact utility flood. It's the kind of gear you install once and forget about, which is the whole point. No fussing with bulbs, no annual replacements, no corroded sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the money, it's a clean, low-draw flood light that disappears into the console and does its job. If you run a smaller boat and want honest deck light without a big surface-mount bar cluttering the helm, the Optilux 357203031 is an easy call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1000 lumens from 6 LEDs at just 18 watts, so you get real deck light without loading the electrical system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlood beam pattern spreads light wide for cockpit wash and deck work, not a narrow forward spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMulti-voltage 10 to 30 volt input runs on both 12-volt and 24-volt systems with no changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlush-mount design seats nearly flat into a console pocket, no bulky surface bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 7.7 x 2.4 x 1.7 inch footprint fits tight helm and console spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSealed aluminum housing in black, built to the Hella Marine fit-and-forget standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear lens for maximum light throughput\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow 18-watt draw wires easily with 14-gauge tinned wire and a 5-amp fuse\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\u003eIs this a flood beam or a spot beam?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a flood.
