ARC 3137R Eco 3156/3157 LED Bulb Dimensions

Raw Lumens vs. Effective Lumens vs Stable Lumens

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. Stable lumens builds off the idea of effective lumens by measuring the amount of light produced after 30 minutes of usage, or once the diodes have reached their average operating temperature. These bulbs have a 600 raw lumen capacity per bulb and produce 199 effective lumens per bulb. The stable lumen capacity per bulb is 75 lumens.

Video Transcript for ARC 3156/3157 LED Tail Light Bulbs Review

This is what they looked like before. And this is what it looks like after. It's definitely a lot brighter and it is definitely an upgrade from some of the other ones. So today we're gonna be taking a look at the ARC LED taillight bulbs. The nice thing about upgrading to LEDs is they're going to last a lot longer than some of the incandescent bulbs. And they're actually gonna draw a little bit less.

So this one is a red bulb, so it's perfect for your taillights. And it's gonna have a temperature of 1000 K, but that just means what color it is. So this is red, and it really is a little bit brighter than the white bulbs that we're in there before. Just because over time, when cars get a little bit older, everything starts to kinda fade away. It starts to turn a little like orangeish.

So with this, you can kinda compensate for your older vehicle taillights by getting those red LEDs on the inside. The nice thing about the LEDs on the inside is they're gonna have 360 degrees. So what that means is we're gonna have some diodes on the front. We're gonna have diodes all the way around the whole entire outside. So about 23 diodes is gonna give us about 600 raw lumens.

So these are definitely a lot brighter than the ones that I had before. These are gonna draw about 6.5 watts and about 0.65 amps. So it is gonna be a little bit more efficient than the incandescent bulbs, which I just liked that. If you replace every single bulb on your vehicle with LEDs, your electrical system's gonna be under a lot more, a lot less load than before. And with these, they're also brighter.

So less load for more performance. It kinda just seems like a no-brainer. These are gonna come in a pack of two. So for me, all I had to do is grab one pack to get both my right and left taillight on there. So just make sure you grab as many as you need, and also make sure you put your vehicle in our fit guide. And that's just gonna let our website do the work for you. So everything you see is gonna fit your vehicle. Just to show you what I'm replacing it with, this is the old, old bulb, and these are the new ones. One, they look cooler, but two, we are gonna have different types of colors. So what I'm gonna do since we have a taillight, we have our reverse lights and our blinkers. So I'm gonna put the white ones in my reverse lights. And we actually have an amber set as well. The same exact thing, that's gonna go up top. So we might as well do all three of them because why not And that's about it for a look at the ARC LED taillight bulbs..

Easily upgrade your factory tail light bulbs with these red 3156/3157 LED bulbs. Compact bulb design prevents fitment or clearance issues. Wedge base.

by:

I bought these to upgrade my rear tailights/turnsignals to LED. They are a direct replacement meaning they fit into the socket properly. However, there isn't enough load in these bulbs to have the turn signals work properly. Apparently, another electrical part must be needed for these bulbs to flash properly as turn signals. Keeping the bulbs since it's not cost effective to return.

I have gotten in contact with the manufacturer and they have confirmed that the issue is called hyper flashing and is common among LED bulbs due to the resistance values being much lower. You can compensate for this with an inline resistor, like part # ARC22VR, with adds the necessary “load” to resolve this issue.



by:

The led lights are still working. The problematic fuse in the car has not blown so switching from incandescent to led has been worth the cost.



by:

The brightness between tail light mode and brake light mode is not enough to be a very good LED replacement.



by:

They cool wow perfect work it red and white bright



by:

Excellent rain guards, happy so far with LED lights

Ford F-450 Super Duty

Ordered the bulbs I needed for my 2022 F450.

Great
communication fast delivery.



by:

Alex is very informative and helpful on the products I wanted, so far I am happy with the lights



by:

The last bulbs converted to LED. The stove light is so handy in my trailer but it was more wattage than i wanted to burn. These bulbs are brighter, longer life and importantly, less wattage.



by:

I’m not sure if it will fit my camper range hood light socket but will try it in the spring



by:

I wanted to replace the old bulbs in my trailer but everywhere I looked they were going to cost me $xx or more per pair. I found etrailer while looking on line for trailer parts and was very surprised how affordable the bulbs were. I ordered all the bulbs in the trailer for less than half the cost I was expecting. They arrived yesterday and I put them in. Wow, what a difference. Way better light output, much less battery power being used. All for a fraction of the cost. And the quality of the bulbs was all I had hoped it would be. I was talking to one of my neighbors about your web site and it turns out he has been an etrailer.com customer for a while. Thank you for what you do.



by:

Probably a great product but it is NOT a 194 bulb. Base is correct but too tall for marker light applications



by:

I can’t believe how much better these lights are from my old ones
One of the best things I’ve ever bought,



by:

These bulbs work fine. They're a direct replacement for stock and are brighter than stock bulbs.



by:

Unusable. Too hot



by:

Directly replaces the old 12V bulbs. Very easy upgrade. More light and less heat. This is also a safer alternative.



by:

The products are great, but you need to improve your web site. Just make it easier to use for individual vehicles.



by:

Perfect and easy upgrade for my John Deere E100 headlights.



by:

Thank you for your great service and quick delivery!



by:

I was very pleased with the cost and the product for the part that I ordered



by:

Products work great.



by:

great bulbs, very bright, still going s trong



by:

Quick shipping



by:

Works perfectly



by:

This LED replacement completely changed the lighting in my RV for the better. I put them in the main living area and work area and you no longer feel like you are living by flashlight. The only drawback to the replacement bulb is it is slightly wider than glass bulbs and it takes significantly more pressure to insert them. However, they will go in without breaking the fixture. The picture shows the clear difference with both type bulbs in a single fixture.



by:

They cool bright red and white tailback light wow happy that
