It runs on 10 to 30 volts DC, wears a sealed black aluminum body and stainless bracket, and uses a close range beam to light your deck and cockpit for night work. Simple to wire, built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hella Marine ValueFit S3000 is a compact LED work light built for the jobs that happen after the sun goes down. Docking, rigging lines, washing down the cockpit, digging through a hatch for a tool. It throws 3000 measured lumens from a 3.93 inch square housing, and it's wired to run on anything from 10 to 30 volts DC, so it drops straight onto a 12 volt or 24 volt system without a converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHella Marine builds these to a fit and forget standard, and the S3000 shows it. The housing is black aluminum, the mounting bracket is black stainless steel, and the whole thing is meant to live outside in salt air. That said, aluminum and stainless don't love touching each other in a marine environment, so a dab of dielectric grease at the bracket contact points goes a long way toward keeping corrosion from creeping in at the seams. Small step, saves you a headache down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lens is a clear and amber combination, which is what makes this a genuinely useful deck light rather than just a spotlight. The clear side gives you honest white work light for seeing what you're doing, and the amber cuts glare and holds up better in fog and spray. The beam itself is a close range pattern, so it's tuned to light up the deck, cockpit, or work area right in front of you rather than reaching way out across the water. On boats in the 30 to 35 foot range it lights a sportfish cockpit or a trawler aft deck nicely. On something much larger the close range beam starts to feel a little tight, so plan your mounting spots accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is simple. It pulls about 3.2 amps at 12 volts, which lines up with the 38 watt rating. Wire it through a 5 amp fuse rather than the 3 amp fuse a lot of folks reach for, since a 3 amp will nuisance trip on the inrush. The light comes with an 11.8 inch connection cable ending in open wire leads, so you tie it into your own run. That pigtail is short on purpose, but it does mean most flybridge or hardtop installs need an extension or a splice to reach a switch panel. Plan the wire run before you drill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting is bracket style with the black stainless bracket included, so you can aim it where you need the light and lock it down. One field note worth passing along. On fast planing hulls the bracket hardware can work loose from vibration over a season, so a drop of threadlocker on the bracket bolts and a quick check every month or so keeps it pointed where you set it. If you're mounting it up high over a white deck, be aware the close range beam can throw a bright hot spot, so a higher mount angle spreads the light more evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more electrical note if you run outboards. The S3000 is happy across the full 10 to 30 volt range, but the voltage spikes that come off outboard charging systems are hard on any LED driver. If your boat has a history of frying electronics, adding a simple voltage spike suppressor on the circuit is cheap insurance and worth doing while you've got the panel open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anglers, cruisers, and anyone who works the deck at night and wants a solid, sealed LED that isn't going to quit after one season in the weather. It's a work light, not a navigation light and not a floodlight for lighting up the whole anchorage, so match it to close-in deck and cockpit tasks and it'll earn its keep. The ValueFit name is Hella Marine's way of saying you're getting the sealed build quality and LED efficiency without the price of their top shelf lamps. Runs cool, draws little current, and it's the kind of gear you mount once and forget about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3000 measured lumens from a 38 watt LED, bright enough to light a full sportfish cockpit or trawler aft deck for night work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 to 30 volt DC input runs on both 12V and 24V systems with no converter, so it drops onto almost any boat's wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear and amber lens combination gives honest white work light plus amber that cuts glare in fog and spray\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose range beam pattern focuses the light on the deck and cockpit right in front of you instead of scattering it across the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack aluminum housing and black stainless steel bracket built for full-time life in salt air\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.93 inch square footprint fits tight mounting spots on hardtops, radar arches, and cockpit coamings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e11.8 inch open wire lead pigtail ties straight into your own switched circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDraws about 3.2 amps at 12 volts, so a single 5 amp fused circuit handles it easily\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded black stainless bracket lets you aim and lock the beam exactly where you need it\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSealed fit and forget Hella Marine construction for long service life with minimal maintenance\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 voltage does the ValueFit S3000 run on?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt accepts 10 to 30 volts DC, so it works on both 12 volt and 24 volt boat systems without any converter or step-down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow bright is it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e3000 measured lumens from a 38 watt LED.
