The Hella Marine Apelo A3 delivers 6,000 lumens of underwater brilliance in both white and blue, making it the flagship of the Apelo lineup. Purpose-built intelligent optics distribute light broadly across the transom rather than losing it to depth, creating a wide, vivid glow suited for larger vessels in permanent installations. The marine-grade bronze housing incorporates nickel-silver for exceptional corrosion resistance, and the A3 retains the signature Apelo edge lighting for added visual impact. Made in New Zealand and backed by a 5-year Hella Marine warranty, this transom light is compatible with fiberglass, timber, steel, and composite hulls. Note: aluminum-hulled vessels require a suitable isolation spacer before mounting.
