P2-Rated Lights
A P2-rated light produces a 45-degree angle of light to either side of its centerline for a total of 90 degrees of coverage. This beam pattern can be seen straight on, but it cannot be seen clearly from the side. So this type of light can be used as either a side marker light or a clearance light, but it cannot function as both. If you need both functions, then you must install 2 separate lights on your trailer - one as a front or rear clearance light and one as a side marker light.

Video Transcript for Review of Optronics Trailer Lights - Red LED Side Maker Or Clearance Light - MCL31RB
Hey everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the Optronics LED clearance or side marker light. This is also going to have a built-in reflector in that lens, so as you can see when I move this around, it's going to reflect that light and let anybody know that our trailer is there even when our lights aren't on. So it helps to keep our trailer more visible, keep us safe, and keep that from causing issues.I'm going to hook this up to power and ground so you can look at how bright it is whenever it's illuminated. So ground is going to go to the white wire.
Power goes to the black wire. Get that on there and then I'll turn on my power source. You can see those LEDs come on and, when I turn out the lights in the studio, it gives you an idea of how bright that light is.So not anything super bright and definitely not something that's going to light up the night, but it's just there to give that visibility so if our brakes are on or our running lights are on, people will know where we are.As far as the construction, this is going to be an LED light, so it's going to have a pretty low power draw, just 0.04 amps at 12.8 volts, so pretty low draw for our power. We don't have to worry about running down our battery anytime soon, and those LEDs are going to last a lot longer than your incandescent bulbs and there's virtually no maintenance with these since there's no brittle filaments that can break and cause you to need to change out those bulbs, so pretty nice long-lasting light.To get it installed, you'll need to use a flat blade screwdriver, pry against this little groove here around the cover, pop that open, and then you'll have your two mounting holes and you'll be able to get access to them there.Now, this doesn't come with any hardware to get it installed, but as far as the measurement between those two holes, center to center it measures about three inches between those. The diameter of those mounting holes is about three-sixteenths or just under a quarter of an inch.
Our light measures about two inches by four inches by one inch. Our wiring comes off the light and we'll have about five and a half inches of wire to work with. This is DOT-compliant. The lens is red over white LEDs. The housing is made out of an ABS plastic and that's going to be actually the back, and then the lens is made out of acrylic, so it should be pretty long- lasting for you.This is P2-rated, so that means that it can only be used as a side marker or a clearance light.
It can't do both. That's just because the viewing angle as you're looking at this light, it only goes out that far. Once you get to the side, you can't really tell that the light is on anymore, so that's why it can only do one function. If you do want a light that operates as both a clearance and a side marker light, you would need a light that's rated as P3. We do have a lot of options available for those right here at etrailer.com.
If you want to check those out, please do.There is a lifetime warranty on the LEDs, but other than that, that's pretty much all there is to it for our Optronics LED clearance or side marker light. Again, if you want to check out some other options, we have a lot of them here at etrailer.com. Thanks for watching. See you next time.

Easy install and bright marker light. I also used two on the top back side of my horse trailer as an extra turn signal and brake light. My existing turn signal and brake lights were really low on the trailer and these helped it become more visible when I was slowing down or turning. 597339

I ordered some of these previously after a few years of fighting with incandescent bulbs in the trailer marker lights. These LED units are much brighter and will last many times longer than the incandescent units. In my initial order, I had somehow managed to miscount how many I needed, so this order is to replace the last few of the old style markers & bulbs still remaining. 241431

These are good lights with pretty secure covers. They work great and bolt up exactly where the old ones did. The only issue I saw was that the wires can easily get pinched when mounting these on a surface with a center hole. These seem to be designed for the wires to be routed out of the side or bottom of the light, not the back. No biggie though. 589753

These lights are just what was needed to replace old incandescent lights on a small camping trailer pulled behind a motorcycle. These are bright so as to be seen better by others because motorcycles are sometimes more difficult to see compared to larger vehicles and the LED lights are easer on the motorcycles electrical system. Shipping was prompted, the product is as described by etrailer and arrived in good condition. 576523

- Replacement Clearance Lights for 2001 Dutchmen Travel TrailerIt looks like you are needing replacement red clearance lights for the rear of your 2001 Dutchmen Travel Trailer. In order to choose replacement assemblies, I recommend taking a couple measurements on your existing units. Based on the picture you provided, something like the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light # MCL31RB might be an excellent replacement. This red, LED clearance light measures 4 inches long, 2-1/16 inches wide and 1 inch deep. It features a 2-wire design...

- Availability of a Oval Trailer Clearance Light with a Black BaseThe closest thing we have to a version of the Oval LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light # MCL31RB that you referenced with a black base in an amber and red lens would be the Red Oblong Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light # MC31RB and the Amber Oblong Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light # MC31AB. Both these lights have black bases, but they have incandescent bulbs instead of LEDs.
view full answer... - Mounting Instructions for Optronics # MCL31RB LED Clearance/Marker Lights I'm assuming that you're speaking of the Optronics # MCL31RB side marker/clearance lamps. These lamps are designed to surface mount using machine or self tapping screws as shown in the photo I've provided for you. A gasket isn't available, but using a thin bead of # 0160297 silicone to prevent water from getting behind the lamp would be an excellent idea.

- Can Additional Turn Signals Be Installed on the Sides of a TrailerAs far as turn signals go; that we are aware of there are no restrictions that would prevent you from installing an additional blinker on the side of your trailer in red or amber. You would need to consult your local DOT for more info, but I would be surprised if there were restrictions that would prevent that. Especially since semi-truck trailers often have them. The easiest way to do this would be to use red lights since you could simply tap into the stop/turn circuit on either side...
view full answer... - Installing Side Trailer Lights to Function as Turn Signals You can certainly install some additional lights on the side of your trailer to function as another turn signal. You can use a red LED light like the Optronics Oval # MCL31RB for this purpose and simply tap into the stop/turn circuit on either side of the trailer. Keep in mind that if your trailer has combined brake and turn signals (which most do), the lights will activate when the brakes are applied as well. If you want to separate the functions out so that they only illuminate with...
view full answer... - Color Availability of the Optronics Oval LED Trailer Clearance LightsYes we sure do. In order to get the Oval LED Trailer Clearance Light in red you would want to use part # MCL31RB.
view full answer... - Replacement Red Trailer Marker Light for 2013 Trailer Star Boat TrailerI was not able to find specs for the marker lights supplied on your Trailer Star boat trailer but I was able to find several photos that show the red oval grommet-mount lights you refer to. There may be a part reference number on the back of the light housing; often this is printed rather than molded into the part. If you can find a part number you can search our site using that, but if its not available you can take a measurement of the actual opening (not the grommet, but the opening...

The clearance light part # MCL31AB and # MCL31RB are very close in shape and dimension to the lights you are looking for. They are both 4 inches wide by 2 inches tall. The # MCL31AB is amber in color and the part # MCL31RB is red in color.
view full answer... - Recommended Round Trailer Fender and Lights for 14 Inch Wheels on 2016 Forest River R-Pod TrailerNo photo came through, so I did a little research on your trailer to attempt to get the missing visual. I recommend the CE Smith Single Axle Trailer Fender- 14" Wheels - Qty 1 # CE17900G for your 2016 Forest River R-Pod 180. It will need to be primed and painted black to match your trailer or powder coated like the original fender. You may want to consider the mounting brackets # CE26098G-2 if your mounts were damaged as well. For the marker lights, I don't know the size you need,...

I also attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. Since I am not totally sure what the other marker lights are we do have the LED part # MCL31RB which is 4 inch by 2 inch. For a standard roof vent to fit what you have currently we have the Ventline Ventadome kit part # V2094SP-30 which has a 12 volt fan in it. For interior lighting we have...

This is a very nice, LED amber light that measures 4 inches long, 2-1/16 inches wide, and 1 inch deep. It features a two-wire design and a white base surface that mounts on 3 inch centers.

Other similar lights include LED model # MCL31RB and incandescent model # MC32RB.

- Comparing Optronics Aero Pro and Glolight Trailer Tail LightsThere would be a noticeable difference if you had both the Aero Pro light # STL37RB and the Glolight, # STL117RB right next to each other. You would notice that the Glolight seams to actually sort of glow rather than just light up. This is due to the top and bottom bars that light up solid. Both lights are going to be plenty bright. Light # STL37RB has 23 diodes which will be very bright as you can see in the picture submitted by reviewer Becky P. She is using tail lights # STL37RB...

I believe you will want the Oval LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light with Reflector, 6 Diode - Amber # MCL31AB along with the Oval LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light with Reflector, 6 Diode - Red # MCL31RB. For the light bar, I recommend the Sealed, 3-Light Truck, Trailer...

The # MCL31AB is amber in color and the part # MCL31RB is red in color.

I did some research on your 1977 Great Divide Camper Trailer and have a few recommendations for you to consider. My recommendations are not exact matches but I believe they will work for you. For the tail light assembly, I recommend the Bargman Triple Tail Light, Item # 47-84-009. This light is 14-1/16 inches long x 6-15/16 inches wide x 1-1/4 inches thick. It is a recessed mount that has 2 red LED lights and 1 incandescent reverse light for...
view full answer... - Is a Deeper Lens Available for the Optronics MC32 Series Clearance Light to Install LEDsWe do not have a deeper lens for the Optronics MC32 series clearance lights, however we do have similar LED clearance lights that you may be interested in. Check out the Optronics LED Clearance Light, # MCL45RB or # MCL31RB. These lights have almost identical dimensions as the MC32 lights and will use the same mounting holes on the trailer.
view full answer... - Does Optronics # MC66RB Incandescent Trailer Clearance/ Side Market Lamp Include BulbsThe Optronics # MC66RB Trailer Clearance/Side Marker Light does indeed include bulbs. Optronics also offers a similar LED lamp, part # MCL31RB. LED lamps draw a fraction of the power of incandescent bulbs, and will last considerably longer.
