• 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.

• Connecting New Reverse Lights Wiring At Trailer Electrical Connector For a Dump Trailer
  As long as your trailer has a 7-way you will more than likely have a Junction Box # 3375601101 that all the wiring from the 7-way will go into and connect to the trailer wiring. You will need to locate this box and find the wire for the reverse light circuit. This will typically be either the purple wire or yellow wire if your harness does not have a purple wire. A Test Light # PTW2993 can be used to verify that you are connecting to the correct wire. If your trailer uses a 6-way connector...

• 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 lights...

• How To Connect Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies To Junction Box On Trailer
  You have a good plan! You are correct that once you have a functional 7-way connector and the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 installed in your truck that you will not need any other wiring on the truck.

• 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.

• 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...

• How Much Amperage Is Required to Add Reverse Lights to Trailer
  If the tow vehicle has a trailer reverse light circuit separate for trailer wiring then you'd be limited by the amperage rating of the fuse that protects it. If you are tapping into the reverse light circuit of your vehicle for the light then it comes down to the amperage rating of the fuse that protects the circuit as well as the amperage rating of the lights and how many amps are left over between those two numbers. Now with that all said if you went with an LED reverse light like the...

• 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...

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Is the Custer 4 LED Strobe Light part # STRL4W Waterproof
  In order for something to be considered waterproof it needs to be able to withstand submersion for a certain amount of time without any water leaking in. The Custer 4-LED Strobe Light or Running Light # STRL4W would work well on the exterior of your vehicle and normal amounts of rain wouldn't break it. But I would not recommend it for a boat trailer where the trailer gets submerged. For something like that you would want a LED Backup Light part # BUL10CB.

• 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 place...

• 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...

• 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 light...
