Video Transcript for The Low-Down on the 7" Long White/ 11" Long Red Conspicuity Reflective Tape

Today we'll be taking a look at the Optronics 7" long white by 11" long red Conspicuity Reflective Tape in a quantity of four in 18" long strips, Part #RE418T. This also comes as a quantity of eight, Part #RE18T. The Optronics Conspicuity Reflective Tape comes in 18" long strips by 2" wide. This reflective kit is rated at over 600 candle power per square foot. It is also hermetically sealed and unbreakable. It does mount on flat, as well as, curved surfaces and it is DOT Certified, as well as, being rated for seven years of use. It also complies with the J1967 for vehicle conspicuity material. Now let's go ahead and go over here to our enclosed trailer and we'll show you how to put them on.

As you notice, this trailer does not already have the conspicuity tape installed on it, as it doesn't meet the federal requirements where it's needed. We're adding them to give us an extra safety feature and adding more visibility to others around us. We're going to go ahead and line it up right here along the bottom of the trailer. We'll first go ahead and clean the back area with just a little bit of glass cleaner and a paper towel. Now as you can see, the back has a split in it that allows you to easily pull it off. It also has a checkered style pattern that gives high visibility, as well as, reflectivity to it.

It lets you know right here that it is DOT compliant by having a DOT-C2 stamped right onto the strip. I will go ahead and line up where we want to put it, simply hold it in place and we'll peel back the small portion right here. Go ahead and take the backing and fold it over and press firmly in on the strip to make sure it adheres fully to the side of our trailer. Now, since four strips come with the package, we'll go ahead and apply the other three the same way we did this one. Now as you can see we've added significant reflectivity to our trailer by adding the Optronics Conspicuity Reflective Tape strips, Part #RE418T. .

  • Difference in Tape Sizes for Trailer Conspicuity Tape Reflectors
    If you check out the help article I attached below you'll see info on when conspicuity tape is needed like part # RTR15066PB for 6 inch by 6 inch or part # RE18T for 7 inch by 11 inch. The size differences basically come down to what best fits the trailer, but here is more on that: Red and White Marking Tape Each segment of red or white marking tape must be from 6" to 18" long. Shorter lengths can be used to clear obstructions. Longer lengths can be used to avoid placing white tape near...

  • Reflector Option for Adding to 24x60 etrailer.com Cargo Carrier # E98874
    The easiest way to add reflectors to the 24x60 etrailer.com Cargo Carrier # E98874 that you referenced is going to be with conspicuity tape like part # RE18T. This gives you a reflector sticker that gives you overall dimensions of 18 inches by 2 inches that you can cut down to whatever size needed.

  • Should the Red or White Part of Conspicuity Tape be Pointed Towards the Front of the Trailer
    Generally on the side of a trailer the red part of the conspicuity tape such as # RE18T points towards the front of the trailer. I have included a link to our help article that covers this and other information on trailer lights and reflectors that you will find helpful.

  • Lighting and Conspicuity Treatment Requirements for 53-Foot Trailer
    Trailer lighting requirements do vary based on trailer size and gross weight so in order to keep your trailer legal I suggest you refer to the article I linked for you which details the requirements for lights. The article also covers conspicuity treatments which are required for trailers over 10,000-lbs GVWR. These treatments consist of strips of reflective tape like # RE18T or rows of individual reflectors like # RT10RB that create an alternating pattern of red and white along the sides...

  • Adding Tail Lights To A Travel Trailer. Is The STL90RB Brighter Than The PE64AR?
    Good morning Gregg good to hear from you again. Between the two lights you mentioned, the Optronics # STL90RB is going to be brighter than the Petersen # PE64AR. In this case more diodes is better and 31 diodes are certainly going to be brighter and more visible that 17 diodes. Companies like Optronics and Petersen do not measure the brightness of these lights so I am afraid I do not have any hard numbers I can give you. If your goal is for the light to be more visible in foggy conditions,...

  • Does the LED Trailer Tail Light # STL68RB Have Reflectors Built-In
    The 10-1/8" x 3-1/16" LED Trailer Tail Light # STL68RB that you referenced is not reflective so you will need additional reflectors like part # RE11RB or part # RE18T. We do offer some light options that have reflectors built-in but nothing in this size. The Stainless Steel Trim Ring # A68SSB is purely for looks. If you don't want to install it then there is no need to as you can see from the attached installation video on an enclosed trailer.

  • Light Kit and Other Ways to Add Visibility to Hitch-Mounted Cargo Carrier C18153
    For the Curt hitch-mount cargo carrier # C18153 there is no specific light kit offered but we can help you with the individual parts you'd need to install one. What you will need to do is use a light kit like # 98174LED, and then add 2 brackets # BK70BB. You will also need some self-tapping screws # FA1131822, or drill and use the hardware of your choice to mount the brackets. I noted in your purchase history that you have a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, which will need to have a 4-pole...

  • Bright LED Amber Light that Can be Seen Straight On and at an Angle
    I think I have the perfect light for you. Take a look at the LED amber clearance light # MCL49AB. This light has 14 diodes so it will be bright and you can see it straight on and from an angle. I have included a link to a video review of this light for you. You might also be interested in some conspicuity tape, # RE18T, for its reflective properties.

  • Does Trailer Lighting TL29BK Meet FMVSS and DOT Requirements
    The Trailer Taillight kit part # TL29BK does fit all DOT FMVSS requirements. If you are unsure if you need more lighting/conspicuity tape I attached a help article that covers lighting requirements for trailers based on size. The part # RE18T is a set of 18 strips of conspicuity tape that is 18 inches long and 2 inches wide.

  • Can I Put Conspicuity Reflective Tape on Diamond Pattern Steel Plate
    I don't recommend putting the 7" Long White/ 11" Long Red Conspicuity Reflective Tape - (8) 18" Strips # RE18T on diamond plates because it's going to be tough to get it to stick without bubbles everywhere. With that said, it will certainly stick to flat metal surfaces without issue.
