Surface-Mount Light

Surface-mount trailer lights install using a flange or bracket with mounting holes. These lights lay flat against the trailer surface and only require a small, often pre-existing hole, for wiring. Mounting hardware is used to secure the light to the trailer.

Video Transcript for Review of Peterson Trailer Lights - License Plate Lights - M290

Today we're going to take a look at the Peterson Great Light surface-mount LED utility or trailer license plate light. Now this is a nice, compact LED trailer light that'll function as either a utility light or a license plate light.A single LED light like this will meet the DOT requirements when mounted properly above your license plate. And LEDs make great replacements for incandescent lights, because they'll last 50 times longer. They're more efficient, because they'll provide brighter light with less power output, and no bulbs to replace, or no brittle filaments.This one is a clear lens over a white LED. You can see it has a nice, black housing to it. It is a surface-mount design.

It mounts to the trailer with this built-in bracket. The hardware, you can see the two screws is included. Two holes right there. You just put your screws in there, and you're going to attach it just like that.Now this is a two-wire design. You can see it includes the power lead and a ground wire.

They're both black wires, so you can use either one for either function. And at the end of this video, I am going to hook it up to some 12-volt power just to show you how bright it is.This light is DOT, Department of Transportation, compliant. It is made in the USA. Voltage again is 12 volts.give you a few dimensions on this. The overall length from one end to the other is right at three inches.

The height of it, bottom to the top, is right at one and 1/16th inches tall. Total depth on it, the widest point, is going to be right at 5/8th inches. The mounting holes, the two mounting holes center-to-center on those is two inches.Again I'm going to hook this up to some 12-volt power, and again it doesn't matter which wire you hook to which. They'll work either way. We got it.

Go ahead and turn it on. And you can see with it on, there's your single LED. Very bright light.Go ahead and turn off the overhead lights. And you can see, if you attach that above a license plate light, it'll give you light to light up the whole plate.Go ahead and turn back on our overhead lights. Turn off our power. But that should do it for the review on the Peterson Great White surface-mount LED utility or trailer license plate light.

This is exactly what I needed for the space and use. I knew I could find it on your site. Thank you.



by:

Great little minimalistic license plate lights. They have been dunked into salt water and fresh water every time we launch our boat. Never had an issue and still just as bright as when new.



by:

Perfect license plate LED, AND, the perfect storage box LED as well!



by:

Worked on first connection. Appears well made and solid. Looks Great.
Great slim lines but still good coverage for small trailer plate.
Have not verified submersion waterproofness, but fine so far in rain.
Four Stars because both mounting screws stripped heads/broke off during installation into tight aluminum hole, and there is no option for routing wires straight back from under light, so drilling new exposed hole was necessary; not a big deal, just seemingly an easy option to build in and may be a limiting factor for some.



by:

Easy to install, fits flush against the trailer and solid brightness. I used this on the opposite side of my license plate holder so that both sides have lighting for me to see at night when towing....it lights up the lane markers on both sides of the trailer for my auto hauler.



by:

I was looking for a small, low profile license plate light and this one fits the bill.
Ample down lighting with no glare from the rear. Works as expected.

I used this for a camper license plate light its bright as well as for two foot-lights, one installed below the entry door on each side, pointed downward to mark the step into the camper. They work well.

  • Replacement 7-Way and 4-Way Connector for a 2014 Ford F-150
    Yes, we do! To replace the 7-way connector on your 2014 Ford F-150 XLT you will want the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket item # HM40975. This will replace your worn out factory connector and provide you with a brand new 7-way and 4-way connector.

  • Does Peterson M290B-P License Plate Bracket/Lamp Need Removal to Install License Plate
    You will indeed need to remove the assembly in order to install your license plate, as the bracket isn't flexible enough to bend without breaking. You can see a product description video featuring the # M290B-P license plate bracket/lamp by clicking the provided link.

  • Is The LED Trailer Tail Light 328-003-6019R A Passenger Side Or Driver Side Tail Light?
    The LED Trailer Tail Light with Reflector - Stop, Turn, Tail - Submersible - Red Lens # 328-003-6019R you were looking at is designed to be used on both the driver and passenger side of a trailer, but this style of light does not have a built in license plate light that normally differentiates a driver and passenger side light. Instead you will need to install a stand alone license plate light like the Peterson Great White LED Mini Utility Light - 1 Diode - Black Housing - Clear Lens #...

  • Recommended License Plate Light With Bracket for Boat Trailer
    For a license plate light and bracket on your boat trailer you want to use one that is submersible like the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light with Bracket - Submersible - 5 Diodes - Clear Lens # LPL56CB. I would not use the # M290B-P on your boat trailer. The Optronics light has a waterproof construction and specifically designed for applications like boat trailers. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together to create a single unit, which means that water will not get...

  • Compatibility Of Optronics LED Low Profile Tail Light On Drivers Side Without License Plate Holder
    Yes, the Low Profile LED RV Tail Light # RVSTLB60 is all you will need on the drivers side of your 2012 Forest River Rockwood travel trailer since the license plate has been relocated. The only difference to the Low Profile LED RV Tail Light # RVSTLB61 is the base for holding the license plate and the clear lens at the bottom of the cover for the license plate light. There is no additional wiring used with this light. Be sure that your license plate does have a light on it when operating...

  • Fuse Keeps Blowing on Running Light Circuit With Incandescent License Plate Light
    There are a couple reasons why the same fuse keeps blowing for your running lights. The license plate light and your running lights are on the same circuit, so it could be the incandescent light of the license plate is overdrawing the circuit, so I do recommend changing it to an LED with the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light # LPL55CB or Peterson Great White LED Trailer License Plate Light # M290B-P. It could also be a simple short on the wiring, so you will want to take a look...
