Hella marine navigation lamps comply with the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (IMO COLREG 72).

This IMO compliance, together with supplementary national requirements, is listed with each navigation lamp series throughout the catalogue.

	Complies with IMO (International Maritime Organization) requirements under the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea. (IMO COLREG 72) IMO COLREG 72 forms the international basis for legal navigation lighting on vessels.
	Approved by the German BSH (Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie) and carry BSH type approval numbers. BSH was formerly called DHI (Deutsches Hydrographisches Institut).
	Approved by the Italian RINA (Registro Italiano Navale) authority. Approved lamps carry a RINA type approval number.
	Complies with USCG (United States Coast Guard) requirements. Lamps carry a marking for minimum visible distance in nautical miles, eg USCG 2 NM.
	Complies with ABYC (Amercian Boat and Yacht Council) Navigation Lamp Standard A-16.
	Approved by the Australian NMSC (National Maritime Safety Committee). NMSC adopts IMO COLREG 72 navigation lamp requirements.
	Complies with Maritime New Zealand requirements. Maritime New Zealand adopts IMO COLREG 72 navigation lamp requirements.

Hella marine LED (Light Emitting Diode) navigation lamps provide power saving, highly visible and ultra durable lighting for reliability and safety at sea.

Ultra Low Power Consumption.
Combining efficient LED light sources with advanced optic technology, Hella marine LED products deliver more light output per watt than traditional bulb lamps and thus provide considerable power saving. Hella marine NaviLED®PRO navigation lamps use less than 10% of the power required to run a 25W incandescent bulb navigation lamp certified to the same visible distance.

No bulbs, No maintenance. Ultra long service life.
Hella marine LED technology has no filaments to break, thus making the LED lamps extremely shock and vibration resistant for reliable illumination and safety. Our engineering team has developed a unique range of highly demanding tests to lift product reliability to new standards.

Safe and highly visible.
Advanced LED navigation lamp optics deliver optimal horizontal and vertical light distribution according to international standards. They provide enhanced visibility compared to bulb navigation lamps. Cut-off angles are ultra precise, clearly indicating a vessel’s movement and heading.

Fully sealed for life.
Each Hella marine LED lamp is a completely sealed opto electronic device. Proven design, precision engineering, and the use of high impact acrylic materials ensures superior resistance to water, impact, UV and general wear and tear.

Pre-wired with marine cable.
Hella marine LED lamps are pre-wired with quality marine specification tinned cable. The cable is completely sealed to the lamp body providing time saving at installation and reliable electrical connection.

Multivolt™ technology for durability and safety. Advanced Multivolt™ circuitry provides a uniform level of intensity for reliable and safe illumination across a range of DC inputs such as 8-28 volts or 9-33 volts. Multivolt™ LED lamps can be connected to 12 or 24 volt systems without modification, providing full light performance and automatic compensation for low battery voltages and voltage drop over long cables and connections. Hella marine Multivolt™ LED lamps are also reverse polarity and spike protected for enhanced durability even under severe voltage fluctuations.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) All Hella marine LED products are electronic devices. Their electrical circuits contain components that suppress possible interference, both emission as well as susceptibility to immissions, to the limits prescribed in international standards.
