Video Transcript for Hands-On with the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Optronics LED trailer light. The oval trailer light is going to serve three functions such as your stop light, tail light and turn signal light. It's going to feature a nice sonicly sealed waterproof design so that unit can be submersed. It's got a nice submersible design which would make it ideal for boat trailers or anything that's really exposed to a lot of moisture. It's a full LED system. LED's are going to make great replacements for incandescent lights, they last much longer, they burn brighter, their more efficient. You don't have to worry about replacing bulbs and you don't have to worry about brittle filaments.

When it comes to the construction of the light we are looking at a poly carbonate lens and housing. A nice red lens and then we have the white housing. It is designed to be a recess mount installation with a mounting grommet. Your mounting grommet sold separately. If you are in need of one you can find them here at etrailer dot com. Then the connection point here at the back of the light, this is a weather tight connection point.

We offer an adapter that can be used to make this work with a standard three prong plug. We also offer a weather tight plug that has exposed wire ends for a hard wiring option. Both options are available here at etrailer dot com if you are in need of that plug. The unit is Department of Transportation compliant and meets FMVSS 108 and CMVSS 108 requirements for automotive lighting. We are going to take a look at some of the dimensions real quick and then we'll plug it into our power source and show you what it looks like with the lights turned off. The overall length is going to measure about six and a half inches long.

The overall height that's going to give us a measurement of about two and one quarter inches. The depth including the plug, front to back we are looking at one and three quarters of an inch. Just the lens portion that's going to measure about five eighths of an inch. From the front to this point right here is about one inch deep. Again it's going to contain six LED's or six diode's.

The power drill for the stop and turn signal is 0.161 amps at 12.8 volts for the taillight it's 0.0077 amps at 12.8 volts and Optronics is going to put a lifetime warranty on the LEDs. We are going to go ahead and hook it up to our actual power source that way you can see what it looks like with powering to it. I'm using the adapter to work with a three prong plug. The adapter plugs in right there, again this is available on our website if needed. The weather tight plug, plugs directly into the back of the housing and it's got the little nib on the back there, that way it makes for a nice, tight, secure connection. This is going to be the taillight function of the light. The running light function. Again it sends out a really nice, strong, consistent signal. When we apply our brakes you can see how that illuminates, sends out a stronger signal output. It's going to do that same thing when we activate our turn signals. That's going to do it for today's look at the Optronics LED trailer light.
