• What is the Brightest 6" Back Up Light and Why Aren't They Listed By Lumens?
  As you've figured out their not listed by lumens because the manufacturers do not offer that information. It has to do with them being DOT compliant and they list their brightness by diodes not lumens like you see in flashlights. I'll be more than happy to make a recommendation for you. The Light Guide LED Backup Light for Truck/Trailer item # BUL602CB has eight diodes on the outside and four internal diodes. It's going to be our brightest back up light. The Optronics item # BUL602CB...

• How to Connect the # STL42RB Tail Lights to a 1958 Trailer with 2 Wire Lighting System
  The 4 inch Round Sealed LED Stop, Turn or Tail Light, item # STL42RB, uses a 3 wire pig tail, item # A47PB or # A45PB, to connect to your existing trailer wiring. The plug on the pigtail plugs into the back of the tail light and is then hard wired to your trailer wiring. It sounds as if your original tail lights were grounded to the trailer frame through their mounting studs, so a third wire was not needed. When connecting the 3 wires from the 3 wire pig tail, you will ground the white...

  Yes, the LED Trailer Light Kit part # TL16RK, Light Guide LED Backup Light part # BUL602CB, 25 ft.

• Is the Optronics LED Backup Light BUL12CB Only Able to Be Used as a Reverse Light?
  Hey Brady, welcome back! The Optronics LED Backup Light item # BUL12CB is designed to just be a backup light but you can wire it to any circuit you want. If you wire it to a reverse circuit it will only get power when your tow vehicle's in reverse. If you wire it to a running light circuit it'll be on the entire time your lights are. Please note that it is illegal almost everywhere to have rear-facing white lights on while driving forward on public roads. I found this out the hard way...

• What is the Difference Between the Fusion LED Trailer Light STL211RB and the Optronics STL211XRB?

• Complete Trailer Light Wiring and LED Light Replacement for a Towable Air Compressor
  Daniel, I'd be happy to help you put together a complete lighting setup. From your description, it sounds like your towable air compressor uses round Grote-style tail lights with a 3-pin connector. Based on that, I recommend the Optronics LED Trailer Light part # STL43RB along with the matching right-angle 3-wire pigtail part # A47PB. The STL43RB measures 4-5/16 inches in overall diameter and 1-15/16 inches deep, and it's a very common replacement size for this style of trailer light....

  The GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn - Submersible - 22 Diodes - Oval - Red Lens # STL178RFPB is most likely a fit for your 2018 Coachmen Clipper ST108.

• Recommended Wire Gauge for Installing Optronics LED Type Trailer Tail Light STL211RCB
  Super high-efficiency LED-type lights such as the Optronics # STL211RCB draw so little amperage (current) that you can wire them on your 20-foot trailer using 14-gauge (or heavier) wiring. We offer 10-gauge wire # 10-1-1 by the foot. You will want to use Right Angle 3-Wire Pigtail plugs # A47PB since this is the connector used for these lights. We also offer a mounting bracket # BK70BB and grommet # a70gb that are used together for a surface mount installation.

  First you are going to want to make sure that light # STL22RB is going to fit in place of the lights you have now. This light is 6-1/2 inches long and 2-5/16 inches top to bottom. If you require a different size let me know and I can determine what we have. There also may be a number on the light housing (not the lens) that will help identify what you have. If this light will fit then you will need a wiring harness # A47PB for each light. It will plug into the back of the light and you...

• Rewiring A Trailer That Has Incandescent Lights With LED Lights
  Hi Kody! It looks like you are well on your way! A junction box will definitely make the process of getting this done faster and easier, so it is a highly recommended part. I tend to prefer the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector # e99011 since it already has half the wiring done, but really any of them would work. Plus it includes the needed ring terminals. 10 Gauge Wire - Blue Primary - Per Foot # 10-1-1 for brakes and/or other 12v accessories...

• Replacement LED Light for a Peterson 426E Back Up Light
  Hey Charles, thanks for the information! Since your current Peterson 426E back up lights are incandescent, I recommend replacing both of them with LED's. The Optronics LED Backup Light for Trucks or Trailers item # BUL11CB is going to be the best option. They'll be much brighter and would draw a fraction of the power of an incandescent. They're definitely going to be a bit more expensive, but they last up to 50 times longer. You'll need the Rubber Grommet for 4" Round Trailer Lights item...

• LED Tail Lights for a Ranger Trail XT188 Boat Trailer
  I checked with Ranger and the current generation of the Trailer RT188 uses the 6 inch oval tail lights. For those the Miro-Flex Trailer Tail Light # STL22RB is a great option for an LED upgrade. These lights use pigtail # A47PB and will fit the mounts currently on the trailer. If your trailer has different tail lights, such as those that hang from studs then # STL16RB and # STL17RB are great options for that mounting style. If neither of the recommendations above are the light style or...

• Converting Separate Turn Signals and Brake Lights to Combined Turn and Brake Lights on a Trailer
  If the trailer is one that is pulled by a motorcycle or a trailer designed to carry a motorcycle, you will need a converter in order to convert the wiring system used by the 6-Way to a 2 wire system used by trailer lights. The converter you can use is # RM-732. This takes the separate turn and brake signals and makes them a combined circuit. When you hit the brakes with the turn signal on, it should blink on one side and the other side will remain a solid brake light. The converter will...
