Video Transcript for Review of Optronics Trailer Lights - LED Submersible Amber Light - MCL131AC210B

Ellen: Hey, everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and today we're going to be taking a look at the Optronics Mini Amber LED Clearance or Side Marker Light.Now, this is going to be a great upgrade from the old incandescent bulbs that you've probably had on your trailer. These are going to last a lot longer because light is also submersible. It's sonically sealed, so it's going to make it all waterproof. You can take this out on your marine trailer, boat trailer, or anything like that and you don't afford about any water getting in there and causing any issues. Also, a nice thing about our LEDs is that they're going to be brighter, more efficient, but also there's no bulbs to replace with this so there's no maintenance required.

It's going to last for a long time. Pretty much should be able to install it and then forget about it for many years. Unless it breaks, something hits it, pretty much going to be good for a long time.It does have a clear lens over amber LEDs. We'll have two diodes there. This is P2 rated and basically that just means that you can only see it from a limited range so it can't operate as a side marker and a clearance light.

It operates as one or the other, kind of depending on where it's placed on your trailer. We have more information about that at etrailer.com. If you look at the product page for this, it'll give you a better illustration of exactly what I mean there, but basically it just needs to be one or the other. It can't be both your clearance and your side marker light.I'm just going to connect this up to power and ground. You'll notice that it has one wire.

That's going to be for power. The ground connection is made whenever you put your hardware through there, and then that metal connects with the ground wire going into our light. You'll want to install this on a good piece of sturdy metal on your trailer to make that ground connection. Flip my power source on here. We can see how bright this light is.

Ta-da, it's on.Has a power draw at 12 volts of 0.046 amps, so a very low power draw. This really isn't going to tax your system much at all, so you can have a whole bunch of these if you so desired. I'm going to turn out the lights in the studio just so you can get a better idea of how bright that light is for using it at night. Not blinding but enough to function as intended.There is a lifetime warranty on those LEDs. So again, you really shouldn't have any worries with this burning out anytime soon. Going to unplug everything and then we'll go over some measurements. Turn that off, disconnect my wires.As far as the length, from the outside edge of the housing it's about 2-1/2" long. The distance between those mounting holes center to center is right at about 2". The width is just a hair over 1", about 1-1/16". Then the height or depth, however you want to look at it there, is just under 7/8", so it's about . Or, excuse me, yeah, 7/8" at its tallest point there. There's a little notch on either side so you can put that power wire down through and you don't have to worry about smashing it and causing any issues to tear through that wire, so keep it safe there going in either direction. The length of the wire coming off of it, it's about 6-1/2". Stick it to my ruler there.All in all, it should be a great addition to any trailer. Now, this does not include any mounting hardware, so you will have to pick up some screws. Two #10 screws should work out just fine. Compatible with 12 volt DC systems. And that housing is made of a durable polycarbonate.And that's going to do it for our look at the Optronics Mini Amber LED Clearance or Side Marker Light.
