• Can Reverse Light Circuit of Trailer 7-Way be Used to Power Additional Reverse Lights
  If the reverse light circuit of your 7-way is active you can use it to power the reverse lights you bought. It would be a matter of running the power wire of the light to the reverse light circuit of the 7-way and the negative to the ground circuit of it. If the circuit isn't active on your trailer wiring you'd then need to tap into the reverse lights of the truck. For a quick splice connector you could use the # SWC502905-1 to make the connection to the circuits.

• Flush Mount, Submersible LED Back Up Light Recommendation for a Trailer
  The brightest LED light, flush mount, submersible, that can be used as a back up light, is going to be the round light # BUL23C24B. But this is a 24 volt light and it has 27 diodes. For a 12 volt back up light that is flush mount and submersible would be # BUL10CB or # BUL11CB. For the BUL10CB that you have referenced, you will also need grommet # a70gb, and a wiring harness # A49PB. For the round light # BUL11CB, you would need grommet # A45GB. and harness # A45CB.

• Output of the Optronics 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights
  Optronics uses candelas to rate the brightness of their lights instead of lumens and the output of the Optronics 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Back Up light, # BUL52CB, is 175 candela. At a distance of 1 foot, the candela output is equal to the output in lumens. The next brightest 6-1/2 inch oval light would be the part # BUL22CB which has an output of 160 candela. The part # BUL10CB that you referenced has a candela rating of 125 which would make it the dimmest offering which I would not...

• Recommendation for Submersible LED Backup Lights on a Boat Trailer
  I can help you add reverse lights to your trailer. Yes, It is important to pay attention to DOT compliance when adding lights on your boat trailer.

• Difference in Brightness Between # BUL10CB Backup Light and # BUL72CB Utility Light
  Both the # BUL10CB and the # BUL72CB are 10 diode lamps, and therefore neither lamp would really be brighter than the other. The main difference between the two is how the light is focused. Because the # BUL10CB lamp is DOT compliant as a back-up light, the light would be more diffused over a wider area. By contrast, the # BUL72CB which is NOT certified as a back up light would have the light more focused on a smaller area. Each lamp would output a similar amount of light, but the # BUL72CB...

• How to Provide Power to Trailer Reverse Lights
  To connect back up lights you need to have a 7-way trailer connector on both your trailer and tow vehicle. On a 7-way the reverse lights are powered by the center pin. To connect reverse lights to the trailer's 7-way you can use 16 gauge wire # 16-1-1, or 14 gauge # DW07550-1 if you have a longer trailer. Both are sold by the foot. If you need reverse lights a couple of popular options are the Optronics LED Backup Light # BUL10CB for an LED that uses a 2-wire pigtail # A45CB to connect....

• Recommended Optronics Assembly for Adding Backup Lights to Sprinter
  I recommend going with the Optronics LED Backup Light # BUL10CB, as it will provide you with a clear, bright LED and it is DOT approved to be used as a backup lamp. The Optronics Sealed Oval LED Light # BUL78CB that you also mentioned is a nice utility light, but it is not actually DOT approved to be used as a backup lamp on a vehicle. To install the light assemblies, you can use the 2-Wire Pigtail # A45CB. The white wire will be attached to a bare metal surface of the frame for ground,...

• Reverse Light Recommendations and Difference Between 2 and 3 Wire Pig Tails
  The LED Backup Light # BUL10CB with 10 diodes will fit in the Rubber Grommet # a70gb. Also, the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Back Up Light # BUL52CB with 36 diodes will fit in the # A70GB. 7/16 of an inch is pretty close to half an inch and honestly it was probably a measuring error as both lights will fit yet they are listed as having different diameters. The 36 diode light will be noticeably brighter than the 10 diode light. It really just depends on how bright of a back up...

• White LED Light Recommendation to fit a 3 inch by 2 inch Area
  The best recommendation I could make since we don't have a 3x2 LED light in white would be the part # UCL50CB. This is a 2 inch diameter round white LED that would supply a very bright white illumination. For a pigtail harness to install this light you would want the part # A46PB.

• LED Backup Light Recommendation for a 2015 Ford F-150
  Your 2015 Ford F-150 should have a 7-way trailer connector at the rear of it. The wire running to the center pin is the reverse light circuit and would be the wire to use for adding a reverse light. The part # BUL10CB would work as a back up light but it is a recessed mount light that would require cutting a hole in your trailer. For a grommet you would need # a70gb and a pigtail harness # A47PB. You might prefer a surface mounted light like the part # BUL90CB since it can be attached...

• Installing # BUL10CB LED Back Up Lights on Pontoon Boat Trailer
  Four of the LED Back Up Lights, # BUL10CB would only pull about 1 amp, which is less than two incandescent lamps would pull and should not cause a problem. Typically, a pontoon trailer would use a 7-way trailer connector. Check the center pin on the 7-way connector on the tow vehicle with a circuit tester to see if it shows voltage when the transmission is shifted into reverse. If so, simply wire the reverse lamps to the center pin on the connector on the trailer. Then, when the vehicle...

• Why Would LED Trailer Light Stop Working
  The lifespan of LEDs are typically much longer than what they would ever be needed for. They don't burn out like traditional bulbs which is one of the many advantages to them. Most likely your issue is ground related. Try improving the ground on the right turn signal and you should get the light to work again.

• Comparing Brightness Ratings of Optronics LED Tail Lights
  The Optronics LED Backup Light # BUL22CB is brighter than backup light # BUL10CB although I would not describe it as significant, though that can be subjective. Optronics measures the brightness of their lights using candelas and the # BUL10CB has a candela rating of 125, while the # BUL22CB has a candela rating of 160. There is also the backup light # BUL52CB which has a candela rating of 175. The reason I would not classify the brightness as significantly higher is because these...

• Do Trailer Reverse Lights Require Two or Three Wires to be Powered
  Reverse lights like the part # STL211RCB only need power and ground to function. You would not need three wires ran to the light assembly. Power would need to come from the reverse light circuit of the tow vehicle but you can ground the lights to the trailer frame or using wire to run back to ground of the trailer wiring. The version of the light I would recommend instead though is the part # BUL10CB since this is just a reverse light. For pigtail harnesses you'd want either the # A45CB...

• What is the Candela Output of Optronics 6-1/2 Inch Incandescent and LED Tail Lights?
  I do recommend you move to LED lights as they are going to last much longer than the incandescent lights on your horse trailer. As far as light output, Optronics generally measures their lights in candelas instead of lumens though at a distance of 1 foot candela is equal to lumens so you should have a good idea of how bright the lights are. I contacted Optronics and the representative was able to give me the candelas of each of the lights you were asking about. The incandescent # BU70CB...

• LED Reverse Light Recommendation for 2005 Toyota Prius
  Since you have a Prius I would strongly recommend going with an LED reverse light that will draw considerably less than the Halogen part # PL-807. For that you'd want the LED light part # BUL10CB with the bracket # BK70BB and the grommet # A70GB and you'd have a setup that draws only .28 of an amp per light. You'll also need a wiring pigtail like the part # A49PB. This could be ran to the reverse light circuit of your vehicle without overdrawing it.

• What are the Brightest 6.5" Oval Lights for my Motorhome
  Because the GloLight LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer part # BUL111CB slightly diffuses the light around the outside of the light I recommend using the LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer part # BUL10CB. This will give you a slightly brighter light than the other. To be honest the difference is minimal and I like the looks of the GloLight better but for maximin brightness the second option is the better of the two.

• DOT Approved Trailer LED Reverse Light and an LED Interior Trailer Light
  Optronics light # BUL78CB is a utility light so it is not DOT approved to be used as anything other than that. For the interior of the trailer it will work fine, it doesn't have to be DOT approved since it isn't a tail, marker, reverse, brake, or turn signal light. It is about as tough as any other trailer light that you would find but I would not expose it to repeated impact from cargo. the lens or flange would eventually crack. If you are looking for a DOT approved reverse light with...

  As long as you mount the backup light part # BUL10CB using the grommet part # A70GB and bracket part # BK70BB in such a way that it would not be directly behind the tires of the trailer you really shouldn't have a problem with debris...unless you drive like the guys on Dukes of Hazzard. I don't think a box to protect the lights would be necessary. You would just need to pick a good location for the lights and you would be fine.

• Light Output of Optronics LED Utility Light # BUL78CB Versus Standard # 1156 Bulb
  The light output delivered by the Optronics # BUL78CB would be considerably greater than that of a single 1156 single filament bulb. A single 1156 would put out about 32 Candela, while the Optronics # BUL78CB puts out 125 Candela. If you were considering using the # BUL78CB as a back-up lamp, keep in mind that it does not meet DOT specifications as a back-up lamp. This will not present a problem unless your trailer is used commercially. If you need to meet DOT specs, use a lamp like...

• Reverse Light Wire Color on a 1996 Chevrolet K1500 Pickup to Allow Connection of Back Up Light
  The best way to confirm which wire activates your vehicle reverse lights is to remove one taillight assembly and visually identify which lead goes to the reverse light bulb. To remove the taillight, open the tailgate and locate and remove the two taillight retaining screws. This will allow you to pull out the taillight assembly for access to the wiring. Then, for safety sake, it will be useful to have a helper turn the ignition to the on position without starting the vehicle. Then...
