Video Transcript for In-Depth Review of the Peterson Spitfire Low Profile Round Trailer Reflector

Today we're going to take a look at the Peterson Amber Round Microprismatic Reflector. Now this reflector uses state of the art technology, provides 47,000 microprisms per square inch. This will provide a 50% wider angle of reflectivity compared to your conventional reflectors. You can see it is a surface mount. Basically this tab right here, if you just pull the tab, it'll take that backing off. Then the reflector has a nice strong self adhesive backing on it.

It is SAE and DOT compliant and it is stamped on here. Let me turn it to the bottom here and I'll just try to put a little . I don't know if you can really see it but it is stamped right on here, it says, "SAE A90 DOT." The last thing I want to do is give you the diameter of this reflector. From one side to the other is going to be right at 2 7/8 inches. That should do it for the review on the Peterson Amber Round Microprismatic Reflector.

Best Reflector ever. Glad I found them again.



by:

Great product.



by:

Hello, I got great customer service and i got the peterson reflector



by:

The products I purchased all worked well, were easy to use, and fit the application perfectly. Everything was as advertised, and more reasonably priced than I could find anywhere else. Thanks.



by:

very nice stickers almost as good as our stickers used for class A trucks which are just a bit mre heavy duty. these will be fine for my RV thanks



by:

Excellent service and delivery arrived on time.



by:

Used them on my Karavan trailer to replace the old, faded ones. Exactly like the OEM reflectors! Shipping was fast.



by:

These Peterson adhesive reflectors (both amber and red) are great. They're amazingly reflective (more so than other brands), the adhesive is strong, and they're available readily and economically available from etrailer.com.



by:

Used them on the rear side of my boat trailer fenders as side markers for vehicles approaching me from the rear. They're highly reflective! Fast shipping!



by:

I have not yet tested the reflective quality at night, but they seem well made and were easy to apply.



by:

All of the products ( trailer lights, wiring and reflectors ) are still functioning perfectly.
Most of all, the service and follow up from eTrailer is thorough and thoughtful



by:

I got these for the front edge of my trailer fenders to make them more visible at night. They conformed nicely to the curved surface and reflect the oncoming headlights well.



by:

Just received the reflectors, they appear to be very reflective.
The tire and rim are as represented, and a match for the wheels that are are on the trailer.
The order was filled quickly and received 3 days after placing the order using the free shipping.
This is my 4th time to order from etrailer, and the service for all orders has been excellent. I have and will continue to recommend to friends and acquaintances that for any product they may need,to contact etrailer for a great product, low prices, and excellent service.



by:

I have a trailer ordered. The manufacturer can't understand that his side marker lights are non-reflective, so I must add red and yellow reflectors. I do not have the trailer yet, but I've tested this product, and it's amazingly bright and reflective--much more than plastic ones. If the adhesive performs well and lasts, this will be the perfect solution.

Exactly what was needed for the school bus!

I had to order more due to reflector glue being dry..

the picture fooled me I thought it was dome shaped not just a reflective sticker, but it works fine and is very reflective.



by:

I bought a brand new Utility Trailer, and was having trouble seeing while backing is at night (It is a flat OD Green color). I put these on the back side of the light boxes, problem fixed.

The sales person helped me out, and answered all my questions. Hopefully it will be an uncomplicated repair? Going from a 5 pin goose neck connection to a seven pin connection and making sure both receptacles are pinned the same (Ford and RAM).
Why don't they make everything uniform?????????



by:

Excellent reflector. Very good adhesive. Works in places you cannot use screw on/bolt through attachment.
