Specifications

Certified range
2 nm
Supply voltage
12V DC

The Hella Model 3562 is a stern light in a black housing, running on 12V DC with 2 NM visibility. It is saltwater resistant and non-magnetic, with an IP 54 protection rating. The housing lets you change bulbs without tools. It is marked for IMO Col Reg 72, RINA, USCG, ABYC A-16 and Maritime NZ protection.

Our take

Tool-free bulb changes on the 3562 mean a burnt-out lamp is a small job, and the unit is saltwater resistant and non-magnetic. Its stated visibility is 2 NM, and it runs on 12V DC with an IP 54 protection rating.

From our buying guide

The lights a boat must show depend on its length and how it's being driven. A sailboat under power is a power-driven vessel and shows power-driven lights.

Check before you buy:

  • The label gives its visibility in nautical miles, and that range meets the minimum for your boat's length.
  • The maker rates it for boats of your length.
  • A replacement LED is certified with the fixture it's going into, since the Coast Guard warns that replacement lighting may not meet the rules.
