Video Transcript for Fusion LED Hardwired Trailer Light Feature Review

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we take a look at the Optronics Oval Fusion LED hardwired stop, tail, turn, backup, and warning trailer light. Has the red and the clear lens. Now this is an oval trailer tail light. Has a nice, smooth, bright red exterior and it'll serve five functions.

And I do have this hooked up to some 12 volt power so we'll go through those functions to see how it operates and how bright it is. So I'll first turn on our 12 volt power, and you'll see the taillight function come on. We'll go ahead and turn off the overhead lights, and there's what your taillights would look like. Now, when you do apply your brakes.. Now the taillights, if you notice, it's an outer band of 10 red LEDs that'll light up just like that.

And then when you apply your brakes, it's that same band of red, 10 red LEDs, and they'll just get brighter to let people know you're applying your brakes and stopping. And then if you turn on your turn signal, you can see that your turn signal, again, is the same outer band of 10 red LEDs that'll get brighter and they'll flash to let people know which direction you're turning in. And then, the next feature is the backup light. And just to show you how that operates, when you go into reverse, you'll see that that center X section, that is a clear lens, that lights up with six white LEDs to let people know you're going in reverse. And then the extra features on this, which is sort of unique on this light, is it offers warning lights.

And basically there's two wires, a green and an orange one. If you hook up just the green one and then you turn on the warning lights, what you'll get, you notice there is the four amber LEDs flashing, and that gives you a warning light. Now if we hook up just the orange wire and then we hit it, it gives you a warning light again. But this time it's flashing the six white LEDs. And then if you put those two together, the green and the orange, and then do the warning light, if you notice, it gives you the same flashing motion but you'll see it's alternating.

It's doing four amber LEDs, and then the next one is six white LEDs, and then back to four amber. So it goes back and forth. So it gives you a combination in that warning application. Now, this is a total of 20 LEDs in this light and it will give you four flash patterns that can be synchronized when multiple lights are connected by attaching the blue and yellow wires. Now, what I am gonna do, I'm gonna go ahead and turn off the overhead. Later on in this video, I'm gonna go through all these wires in the back here to tell you what colors and what they connect to. But let me first go through the light itself. We'll go through some features on it. It is a sonically sealed waterproof housing and lens unit, makes it submersible. It uses a durable SMT technology which is surface mount technology. This construction of the LED circuit board. It'll better withstand shock and vibration and allows from proof heat distribution. But as we mentioned, these include LEDs which will make great replacements for incandescent lights, 'cause they'll last 50 times longer. They are more efficient, provide brighter light with less power output, and of course no bulbs to replace or brutal filaments that are gonna break. And the LEDs do have a lifetime warranty. Just to show you the lens again, the red lens and a clear X lens in the middle, and it uses red, white, and amber LEDs. Basically the red lens with the red LEDs is for the stop, tail, and turn. The clear lens in the middle with white LEDs for the backup we showed you. And then the clear lens with white and amber LEDs for the warning light. Now to install this, it does require a rubber grommet. It is a recess grommet design. Now the rubber grommet is not included. We do sell that part separately on our website. It's usually listed on this product page as a related product. And it goes by a part number of A70GB. Now, as you can see, it is hardwired and ready to install. Wire length's about eight inches. And now we'll go through the wire configuration here. Start with the black wire. Black wire is for your taillights, white wires for your ground, the red is for your stop and turn, and then the brown is for your backup. Now the four remaining wires, the green we mentioned is for the amber warning light, the orange, white warning light. And then the blue and yellow, those are the ones we didn't go over. But the blue, when you hook that up it'll get lets you change your flash pattern of the warning lights and then the yellow, if you're gonna hook this to other lights with these features, it'll sync all the lights together using the yellow wire. Now this light is DOT, Department of Transportation compliant. Does meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 requirements for automotive lighting. It is a 12 volt light. And the last thing is just give you some dimensions on this overall length of it, one end to the other, six and a half inches long. Width on it, two and a quarter inches wide. And the depth on the side, right at one inch deep. But that should do it for the review on this Optronics Oval Fusion LED hardwired stop, tail, turn, backup, and warning trailer light.
