Lighting specialists Hella Marine has announced the release of Apelo underwater lighting. Apelo underwater lights feature Edge Light technology and optical intelligence for superior brilliance and advanced materials that offer maximum durability.
The Apelo range comprises of three models offering 1,800 or 3,000 lumens of underwater illumination in either white/blue or RGB light, creating the perfect mood whether dockside or moored out at sea, whilst Edge Light technology – making its debut on the Apelo A2 – also provides courtesy illumination.
Hella’s unique Optical Intelligence delivers a wide horizontal spread of light across the transom and a narrow vertical distribution for high lux levels instead of sending light too high or too low where it becomes invisible. With this unique technology, Apelo compares favourably with lamps offering higher lumen ratings whilst using less energy to achieve the same brightness levels.
Completely sealed, Apelo lights are certified to IP68 and IP69 and engineered for dry running and absolute waterproof reliability. Intelligent electronics sense their environment and regulate the power accordingly to control the internal operating temperature, enabling Apelo lights to operate at optimum efficiency whether submerged or out of the water.
Apelo A2 ships in two housing choices depending on hull materials. Apelo A2 Aluminium is purpose-designed for aluminium hulls and vessels that do not require anti-fouling (i.e., storage on boat lifts, trailers, or berthed in freshwater). Apple A2 Bronze is a robust marine grade bronze housing for permanently moored hulls of fibreglass, timber, steel and composite (not aluminium).
