Hella Apelo A2 Black RGB Underwater Light, 3000 Lumens

The Hella Marine Apelo A2 is a 3,000-lumen RGB underwater light in a black housing with a charcoal lens and edge lighting.

Lens color changes the light before it ever reaches the water, which is the difference between this and the white-lens A2. A charcoal lens suits a dark hull where a white lens would show as a bright disc against the topsides in daylight. Both put out the same 3,000 lumens once lit.

Black housing with a charcoal lens is the combination that disappears on a dark hull when the lights are off. That matters because an underwater light is visible above the waterline on most installations, and it sits there in daylight far longer than it runs at night.

Optical intelligence spreads light wide horizontally while staying narrow vertically, which is what creates the underwater effect. The corrosion-resistant thermal polymer housing takes a high-strength Grilamid nylon lens, and RGB means white, blue or full color from one fixture. Explore more underwater lights.
