The Hella Apelo A1 is a compact, high-performance underwater LED light designed to enhance your boat with brilliant illumination and a striking visual presence. Whether you choose the white/blue or RGB model, the Apelo A1 delivers up to 1800 lumens of bright, efficient underwater lighting. All whilst housed in a sleek, durable, and fully sealed body.
Built for life below the waterline, this surface-mount light uses advanced optics, rugged materials and smart electronics to deliver outstanding reliability and visual impact.
Key Features
- Brilliant Underwater Lighting
Apelo A1 delivers powerful light output with up to 1800 lumens. Choose between intense white/blue dual-colour or full RGB options to create the perfect ambience around your boat. - Optical Intelligence for Maximum Impact
Hella’s unique optical design focuses light in a wide horizontal pattern and narrow vertical spread. This means greater brightness when viewed from above, maximising visual effect while reducing wasted light. - Tough Grilamid Lens
The lens is made from premium-grade, UV-stable Grilamid – known for its impact resistance and long-term clarity. It stays clear and strong even after years in harsh marine environments. - Rugged Surface Mount Design
The Apelo A1 features a corrosion-proof thermal polymer housing, ideal for use on any hull type including aluminium, GRP and steel. It’s built to withstand the marine environment and resists corrosion, vibration and impact. - Reliable in Harsh Conditions
Advanced electronics protect the lamp from voltage spikes and low battery voltages. It runs smoothly on 12V or 24V DC and is fully sealed to IP68/IP69 standards – safe for full submersion and even high-pressure jet cleaning. - RGB Control Compatibility
The RGB version is compatible with virtually any analogue RGB controller, making it easy to customise lighting colours and effects with simple plug-and-play integration. - EMC Suppressed
Apelo lights are engineered to minimise interference with other onboard electronics, including radios, chartplotters and navigation gear. - Made in New Zealand
Designed and manufactured in New Zealand to exacting standards, Hella Apelo lights are trusted worldwide for their performance, reliability and superior fit and finish. - Backed by a 5-Year Warranty
Quality you can trust – the Apelo A1 comes with a full 5-year warranty for peace of mind.
