Today we're going to be taking a look at part number HM55125. This is the Hopkins 12-volt socket with a utility light. The utility light's going to feature an on and off switch here. That way you can control the on and off functions of the light. This is a nice, convenient design that's going to mount anywhere 12-volt power is needed. That surface-mount design, it's got adhesive backing right here so all you got to do is peel off that piece of paper. Then you can stick it and mount it to a nice, clean, smooth surface.
It's also got the little channel right here. That way, you can run the wires through there for the mount to lay flush on whatever surface you want to mount it to. Again, it's going to provide a bonus light that's going to feature two light bulbs in there. It's going to be great for low-lit conditions or low-light conditions. It's going to be ideal for toolboxes or enclosed trailers as well as a wide variety of other possibilities when it comes to mounting the socket and using the light. The socket itself is going to feature a weather-resistant dust cover. It's made from a weather-proof construction which means it will protect the contents from the rain and other bad weather conditions.
This is not fully waterproof. This is not designed to be submerged under water. You're going to notice that it has two wires coming from the socket. Your white wire's going to be your ground wire. Your red wire is going to be your power wire. The white wire has a ring terminal attached to it.
That's going to be so you can make a good ground connection. It needs to be grounded to a clean, rust-free spot on the vehicle frame. The red wire has a butt connector. It is going to be a 14-gauge wire. It's going to get connected to this red wire here. This is going to measure 17 feet in total length which is going to give you plenty of wire needed to reach your vehicle's battery or if you want to put in a secondary battery such as in a trailer or whatever.
They provide 17 feet of wire. That way you can make the connection from the socket to the fuse holder. One end of this red wire is going to connect to the butt connector coming out of the socket on the red wire. The other end of this red wire is going to connect to the butt connector coming out of the fuse holder. Then the red wire with the ring terminal's going to connect to the positive terminal on your battery. It's got the fuse holder here with a nice little cap on it. It's also going to come with the included fuse that's already installed. I do want to go over the overall dimensions of the base here. It's going to give us a diameter of about 2-3/4 of an inch. That's about how much room it's going to take up wherever you choose to mount it. Overall height is going to measure about 2-1/2 inches. We're going to go and hook it up to an external power source. That way you can see what the light looks like with power running to it. We'll get that on there. You can see again it has two bulbs. Sends out a nice, consistent signal. Pretty quick response time when I turn the light on. Again, it's going to feature that nice on and off switch. Makes it a really handy towable socket especially with that utility light for a variety of uses. That's going to do it for today's review of part number HM55125. This is the Hopkins 12-volt socket with a utility light. .
Just what I needed in my rv
Works great
Good as advertised
Works great, looks awesome, and its easy to install.
Defective and had to be returned.
the main product was excellent...extra wire was too small a gauge for a 12 volt socket but was solved by Mark at etrailer....thanks..Mark
I’m giving it 5 stars but truthfully I didn’t need it and returned it for refund so your on your own with it ..
Have not installed this as it is larger than I thought.
Looks to be good quality!
Fit my needs perfectly. Very satisfied with product and E-trailer.
Great value for price.
Easy installation and works great.
The power socket arrived quickly and came packaged as advertised, installed easily in our camper. A simple product that will add much convenience to our camping. Just installed so we don't know the long term reliability of this product yet.
easy to install with included wire in k it.
Got it in the mail this afternoon. I will get to installing later. The foam on the bottom had to be cut so the wires would fit flat and allow the unit to mount to the truck bed. Will start installation when it quits raining.
For a more speedy review the request could have been made the day before it was delivered!!
Put this on dash panel of our Sprinter 3500 frame class A RV for a plug-in on our new wireless towing device sync box to vehicle brake box. Easy to install on dash could set power socket were I could see information on wireless box and plenty of wire and fuse link to be able to hook up direct to RV batteries not the main vehicle battery.
Used this to add a 12 volt power outlet for my RVi Tow Brake System in the overhead console of my Winnebago View for the remote monitor. I have a 2016 Winnebago View and there was no good place to put the RVi plug in monitor on the dash console. This worked great!
Just what I needed, it is well made and will work great with my supplement braking system I use when pulling my jeep with the RV. As always E trailer sent it quick, and knew what I needed.
Installed this item in the back of my pick-up truck mainly to power a refrigerator for a road trip, but have also used it a few times to charge cell phones for overnight camping trips. So far the unit has work flawlessly and the installation was relatively easy, even though the wiring harness was a little too short for my purposes, so I had to splice it to make the full run.
I would not recommend this product. Didn't last two months. Door fell off. Adhesive didn't stick. Wire came off of internal connection. The wire coming off was the last straw. Trashed it and went with a different brand. Zero issues with the new plug....
Didn't last two months. Door fell off. Adhesive never really stuck. Wire came off of the internal connector. The wire coming off was the last straw. Trashed it and went with a different brand which has held up with no issues.
This outlet is working great. I installed it on the outside of trailer by the rear bumper to power a 12 volt macerator pump. This enables me to empty black and gray water tanks into sink drain at home. Puts 12 volt power outlet where it is needed, with quick safe weather tight connect/disconnect.
