Video Transcript for In-Depth Review of the Identification Light Bar for Trucks and Trailers

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Optronics 16 inch long incandescent identification light bar for trucks and trailers, and it has the red lenses. Now, this is an identification light bar for your truck or your trailer, and trailers that are measuring 80 inches or wider will require identification lights for additional visibility. Basically, you'll mount this clearance light bar on the top of your truck or trailer or between the taillights to draw extra visibility to the wider trailer for added on road safety. The lights are P2 rated lights. They produce a 90 degree beam pattern.

And this light bar is DOT compliant, which is Department of Transportation. If you notice, it has the three rectangular incandescent lights that have the red lens on it. And what's nice about those lights is they are easily replaceable. They're attached to the base. If one happened to burn out and you need to replace it, you just pull these tabs on each side and it'll pop right out and then you can pop the other one into place.

We do sell these lights separately. They're part number A91RB. Now, this is a durable, sealed, and waterproofed polycarbonate housing and lens. It is compatible with 12 volt DC systems. It is designed to surface mount to your trailer.

Now, the hardwood install is not included. There's two holes here that you put your screws in, but again, you would have to supply that. It is a two-wire pigtail design. It includes a 50 inch long power wire and then a short white ground wire. Now, I do have this hooked up to some 12 volt power.

Just to show you, we're gonna turn these on, show you how bright the lights are. So I'll go ahead and flip on the power. You can see the incandescent lights come on. To give you an idea, we'll turn off the overhead lights and you can see how the lights light up. Go ahead and turn back on our overhead lights. Go ahead and turn off our power. We're gonna disconnect it. I'm gonna give you some dimensions on this. The overall length from one end to the other, we put our tape measure on it, it's gonna be right at 16 inches long. The width of it is gonna be right at 1-1/2 inches wide. And the depth, in other words from the front, let's go down here from the front of the light to the very back is gonna be right about 1-5/8 inches deep. Now, the distance between these mounting holes center to center is about 7-1/2 inches. And the power draw on this light at 12.8 volts is about one amp. But that should do it for the review on this Optronics 16 inch long incandescent identification light bar for trucks and trailers and these have the red lenses.
