Specs:
The waterproof construction of this light makes it ideal for use on trailers that may be submerged, like a boat trailer. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together to create a single unit, which means that water will not get into the light and damage the diodes or circuit board.
Lumens are used to measure the amount of usable light that is put out by a light source. Raw lumens represent the number of lumens that the manufacturer claims the LEDs are capable of producing. It does not include the light's drive method or the amount of light lost from the lens or reflector. Effective lumens take these factors into account and represent the number of lumens that are actually produced by the complete light assembly, not just the amount of light that the diodes are capable of producing. This light has a 224 raw lumen capacity and produces 168 effective lumens.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Optronics LED Utility Light with Touch Switch. This is a compact, round trailer utility light that can mount wherever you need a little extra light. It's got touch activation, so that way you can turn the light on and off simply by touching it directly here at the center. Towards the end of the video we'll hook it up to the power source and I'll show you exactly how that operates. The unit also comes with a black trim ring that snaps over the light for a finished look. It's going to hide the mounting hardware.
The mounting hardware is not included, but on this unit there's going to be 2 mount holes, one on each side. If we take a measurement of the separation between those holes going center on center, we can see that that's going to measure pretty close to 2 1/4 inches. Now, the unit does feature a nice sealed, waterproof construction. It's an LED system, so with LEDs you don't have to worry about replacing bulbs. You don't have to worry about burned out filaments. They're really, really nice replacements for incandescent lights.
They last much longer. They're more efficient, they burn brighter. This one's going to feature a poly-carbonate lens-in housing. It's got the clear lens with the white LED, so plenty of light's going to be able to come through. It's a surface mount installation, so it's got a flush mounting surface.
It mounts directly on the surface of the trailer or whatever mounting surface you want to place this on. A 2-wire design, so your white wire's going to be for ground, red wire's going to be for power. It is CSA certified for use in sleeping quarters. Taking a look at the overall dimensions, the thickness is only about 3/8 of an inch, so it's a nice low-profile light. Overall diameter is 3 inches, so it's not going to take up much space at all. This contains a total of 6 diodes, or 6 LEDs.
I want to go and hook it up to our external power. That way we can really get a good look at what the light looks like with power running to it. You can see here that the light sends out a really nice consistent signal. The bright light allows plenty of light to come through. Let me make sure I have my wires connected really good here. There we go. It's a nice bright, white light. This is going to have an effective lumen output of 168 lumens with a raw lumen output of 224. The power draw at 12.8 volts is 0.02 amps, and Optronics puts a lifetime warranty on the LEDs. Now the touch activation is very simple. It's right here at the center. Now it's off. Turn it back on. Very quick response time as well, which is really nice for a light like this. As you can see it's very sensitive. I don't have to double tap at all to turn it on and off. It reads it the very first time that I touch it. That's going to do it for today's look at the Optronics LED Utility Light with the touch switch.

3" Diameter waterproof utility light with black trim ring illuminates your trailer's interior with bright white light. Touch activation makes it easy to switch the light on and off. Surface mount - hardware not included. 2-Wire pigtail.What a neat little light. The on/off works flawlessly and is one of the easiest switches I've ever used. I wanted a waterproof light in the shower and this is one of a small number of small, affordable lights that fit the bill. My shower is a custom build, so there is no hole in the ceiling for the wires. The light doesn't sit flush without a proper hole, so I used two sticky pads (originally from a package of removable hooks) on either side of the wire to give the wires a place to sit. This also attached the light nicely to the ceiling.
It gives a lot of light for such a small unit, but not so much that my eyes hurt. The picture of the shower with the light off is pretty accurate. It was enough light to shower with, but still dark. I tried to get an accurate picture of the shower with the light on, but it was hard. All I can say is the amount of light is great. Am so happy with this purchase. Superb value for the money.
Excellent lighting for our travel trailer closets. Prior to installing these LED lights, we used a flashlight to see in these closets.

Light was still working great when our trailer got hit in the rear and was totaled.
Worked exactly as described. The touch button works like a charm and was easy to install.
Fast delivery and they work great. Would order again from this company. Products seem well made. Replaced broken light on entertainment cabinet in rv with these lights and they look great.
I ordered two of the 3" LED Utility Light to provide convenience lighting for my golf cart. Easy to install and really liked the Touch Switch. Perfect!
I also ordered the Galaxy Double Dome light for another project but haven't installed it yet. Looks great and sturdy.
So glad you guys carry these products. Delivery was quick and well packed.
Love the lite, however, the default is "ON" when power is applied. It's no problem in my use of this lite, but one must keep in mind that it's on until it is touched and turned off or until the power is removed. Otherwise, had no issues with it, even in a stock trailer. It performs very well and provides enough lite to see what's going on in the trailer.
Light works well, at reasonable cost, on/ off touch switching is great.
(locate light where it wont be "bumped" accidently and turn off/ on.)
Where's the switch? I bought this light because it has a switch. False advertising.

As stated in the product description, the light is touch activated. It turns on or off with a touch of the finger.
I purchased this light to replace the step light under our motor coach at the door. It is perfect! Much brighter than the OEM light that I replaced.
Replacement lights were perfect.
Great light for small space like a cargo storage area.
Easy on and off by touching light lens.
Decent lights. Get hotter then expected for led. Not as bright as could hope for. Overall for the price not bad.
Love, love, love the touch switch on/off on these! Purchased 4 for our bunk areas. Great light, definitely worth the price!
These are GREAT! Easy to install. At least twice the brightness compared to the standard bulb. Great place to do business with as well.
Thank you.
The lights were easy to install and are very bright.
Easy to install
Extremly bright for such a small led fixture.
Works good
Perfect light for our project

I use this light every day and it works just as well as the day I bought it. Also, very satisfied with the light output. I dont struggle to see nor is the brightness glaring. This ended up being a great purchase especially for the price.
