Older incandescent lights draw more power and burn out faster, but this beehive-style LED light changes that. With 8 bright white LEDs behind an amber lens, it gives off strong, even light while only pulling 0.061 amps at 12.8V. It’s far more efficient than standard bulbs and lasts up to 50 times longer. You get consistent visibility with no fragile filaments or bulbs to replace—just reliable light every time you hook up.
If your trailer ever sees water or mud, this light is made to handle it. The housing and lens are sonically sealed into one piece, keeping out moisture and dirt completely. That design makes it fully waterproof and submersible, so the internal diodes and circuitry stay protected even when the whole light goes underwater. Perfect for trailers that face rain, road spray, or full submersion at the ramp.
At 2-1/2" in diameter and 2-5/16" tall, the beehive shape gives you a compact fit with a classic look. The tough polycarbonate housing and lens resist impacts and cracking over time. It accepts an industry-standard 2-prong plug for a simple connection and mounts flush or recessed using a grommet (A55GB, A56GB, or A57GB—sold separately) or bracket (A54GB—sold separately). The design keeps wiring clean and secure for a professional finish.
Good lighting means being seen clearly from the right angles. This light is P2 rated, producing a beam that covers 45 degrees to either side of center for a total of 90 degrees of visibility. That makes it ideal as a clearance or side marker light when paired correctly on your trailer. Whether mounted up high or low, it adds dependable illumination that other drivers can spot easily from behind or head-on.

Today we are going to be taking a look at part number MCL23AB. This is the Optronics sealed beehive amber LED trailer clearance and side marker light. It can also function as a rear tracking light. It's going to feature a sealed waterproof housing and lens design. It's going to contain eight LEDs or eight diodes. That LED is going to make great replacements for incandescent lights.
They are going to burn brighter, last longer and they are going to be much more efficient. You don't have to worry about replacing the bulbs and you don't have to worry about burned out filaments. This unit is designed to accept the industry standard 2-prong plug that is going to be sold separately, but it makes it very simple to upgrade from incandescent lights. It's also going to mount with a mounting grommet and that is going to be sold separately as well, but you can find all those items here on our website. If we take a look at the overall diameter, I am going to measure here at the back because that is going to be the widest point. That is going to give us a measurement of about 2 1/2 inches.
The overall depth is, I'm going to give is a measurement, about 2 5/16 of an inch. The light is going to draw 0.061 amps at 12.8 volts. It is SAE and Department of Transportation compliant and Optronics is going to cover this with a lifetime warranty on the LEDs. We are going to hook it up to our external power source so that way you can see what it looks like with power running to it. Simply going to take are two-prong connection, plug it into the female ports here at the back of the housing. Give it a good push so it seats well up against the housing and in those connection points.
And then you can see here that this light sends out a really strong consistent signal. Again, it's going to be an amber light. It's going to contain eight LEDs so it has the multi-diode design which is really going to optimize our light output and it's got that nice beehive design so it kind of gives it a really neat look as the light comes out of the lens there. That is going to do it for our review of part number MCL23AB, this is the sealed beehive amber LED trailer clearance and side marker light and can also be used as a rear tracking light. Part number MCL23AB from Optronics. .

Great product and fast shipping !
Lights fit & function perfectly. Very fast shipping. Thank you!
I wish they didnt use the cheapest off color mounting nut and lock washer. Would be really smart to just use the right hardware so these self grounding posts dont always rust away. The whole reason im buying one in the first place.
The hardware was all mismatched. It should have been stainless steel hardware to prevent a bad ground over time. The bolt was a metric grade 5, and the nut was grade 8, the screws that hold the light to the mounting bracket are stainless.
Great looking product. Very well made. Perfect fit.
Great shopping experience and fast shipping.
I replaced the original amber bulb side marker lights with these etrailer LED multifunctional lights on my RV and they work great. The original lights didn't blink when marking turns and I wanted drivers to have a better indication when I wanted to change lanes. I had to do some minor rewiring, but I'm pleased with the outcome.
This is the second one of these lights I’ve installed on my trailer, and no issues so far!
The clearance lights were just what I was needing very pleased
Installation is super easy. Much better than the flush plugs on the other options models. Lights brightly.
Specs should include the following:
Mounting hole needs 1/4 inch minimum, and nut is 10mm.
Thank you for the fast shipping, and the light was an exact match, will use e trailer for all my trailer lighting needs.
Easy ordering, fast shipping, fair price... what more could you ask for?
Super fast shipping. Product was as described and works perfectly as replacements on my motorhome. Very happy with this experience.
I bought the led lights over a year ago and even with MI winters and all the road salt the are still working perfectly. Great product you won't go wrong buying them.
Ordered the LED trailer pucks. They came really quickly, and the bonus was they already had dielectric grease on the female contacts and ready to install. I was pleasantly surprised.
I thought yall were just trailers , was not aware did boat as well, thanks deliver in great shape
The lights went on easy with one positive wire and ground. Being led makes it brighter than my old lights
Had trouble tracking these specific lights down online. I have bought a few things from etrailer before and they always deliver exactly as advertised. These are a direct replacement for the lights that I had which seemed impossible to find!
These Optronic LED lites were exactly what I was looking for my boat trailer. Easy install and very bright. Good product and quick shipping. I highly recommend this company.
Awesome lights and fast delivery!!
Worked super,very happy
