Sonically Sealed, Waterproof Trailer Light
The waterproof construction of this light makes it ideal for use on trailers that may be submerged, like a boat trailer. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together to create a single unit, which means that water will not get into the light and damage the diodes or circuit board.
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.

I want to thank you for all your help with my trailer you were more helpful than you realize. So this is my trailer for a 22' Flats Cat shallow draft Catamaran. I totally dismantled my trailer and buffed by hand with a wire buffer and sand blasted in some spots and applied multiple coats of some very expensive galvanize paint (Z.R.C.). I installed all new C. E. Smith Carpet (about 80'), seven new LED waterproof lights, new springs, new equalizers, new tongue jack, new wench, new safety chain, new chain brackets, all new SS hardware and a 35' long wiring harness. I was able to send only one review with a picture of the safety chain and brackets. I'm having a little trouble with the rest..oh some of these items were bought locally or from your competitors, until I found ETRAILER. Your prices were cheaper for the exact same things. Your helpful how to videos were helpful. And Rose, your personal helpful knowledge made my buying experience very pleasant, I actually enjoyed talking to you! Thanks to ETRAILER and specifically to Rose G. 497942

Very bright, very easy install; only reason for 4 stars is bc I just installed them and can't speak for their longevity; I drilled a small hole in my trailer next to the main mounting hole to poke the wire through, so as not to see the wire; looked very nice. 479238
Comments
As of the last time I launched which was in November the lights still worked great. They have been fully submersed many times in either fresh or salt water.

These marker lights are just what I need to replace the old ones. They appear to be almost identical. I haven’t installed them yet but I feel confident that they will be great. The service was excellent as the order was delivered quickly through standard delivery. 900099

Ask the Experts about this Optronics Trailer Lights
- Is There Difference Between Optronics Clearance Lights MCL95AS and MCL95ABThere basically is no difference between the part numbers you mentioned. We have the part # MCL95AB but the MCL95AS appears to be a way to order the same light in a different packaging. Both have a stainless steel base and bolt. This is submersible.
view full answer... - Wire Gauge Used on Optronics MCL95AB LED Clearance/Marker LampThe power wire on the Optronics # MCL95AB clearance light is 18 gauge, which is sufficient for the super-low power consumption of an LED lamp. To see an installation video, click the provided link.
view full answer... - Can 12 Guage Wire Connect to 20 Gauge Wire With Butt ConnectorsWhen you have to go from a much thinner gauge wire to a thicker gauge wire with a butt connector you want to use the bigger size connector like # DW05745-10 which fits 10 to 12 gauge but the trick to getting the thinner gauge wire to fit well is to strip off 3 times as much insulation than you'd normally need and fold the core of the wire a couple times so that it ends up being thick enough for the butt connector to grab it.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Lights for Shoreland'r Boat TrailerFor other options we have # MCL95AB for amber lights and # MCL95RB for red. They're still surface mounted lights but the base is included and may work for you. They're also a single wire design so they ground through the mounting hardware. If these will not work for you reply to my email with your pictures and dimensions and I'll see if I can find some that will.
view full answer... - How to Mount Trailer Clearance Lights that Ground Through the Mounting StudsWith a one wire light like the Optronics Mini Rectangular LED Clearance Light, item # MCL95AB, you can ground the light in one of two ways. If the light is mounted to a location that allows for the mounting bolt or screw to contact a good ground location such as the vehicle frame then you can mount the light in this location. Then, run the power wire to a 12 volt positive tail light circuit without further wiring. If the location the light is mounted to is not a good source of ground,...
view full answer... - Recommended Stud-Mount Single-Wire Mini Rectangular LED Clearance Light For Boat TrailerWe do have a clearance light that will work for you. I recommend the Optronics Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance Light, part # MCL95AB. This is a 3-diode light that measures 2-1/8 inch x 1-1/8 inch and is 1-1/16 inch deep. It is a stud-mount single wire light with an amber lens. This light has a sealed, waterproof housing, so it will work great for your boat trailer.
view full answer... - Replacement for Optronics MCL-95APG Trailer Clearance Light The Optronics Sealed Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance Side Marker Light # MCL95AB referenced in your question is the closest option we have available to the MCL-95APG model you mentioned. The only difference appears to be the type of wiring that is included with the light, as the model you have features a quick-plug style connector while the # MCL95AB has a single power wire with a bare end. It will ground through its mounting stud. The MCL-95APG light assembly is no longer available...
view full answer... - LED Amber Colored Trailer Clearance Light with 2 Wire DesignThe Optronics LED Clearance Light # MCL95AB does ground through the mounting stud. For a different yet similar light you can use # MCL13A2B with snap-on ring # A13B2B that is a 2 wire light and does have a ground wire.
view full answer... - Clear Lens Version of the Sealed, Mini Rectangular Trailer Utility Light # UL94CBYes, we do carry a version of the # MCL95AB with a clear lens. For that you would want the part # UL94CB.
view full answer... - Can Mounting Stud of Optronics LED Clearance Light Be Changed Out for a Longer Stud?The Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Light - Submersible - 3 Diodes - Rectangle - Amber Lens # MCL95AB can use a longer mounting for your ground. The bolt serves as the ground, so you simply need to make sure the contact with the base is metal to metal. We do not have a light with that longer bolt, but you can replace that bolt with a longer one as long as you maintain a good connection to the base.
view full answer... - Can the Optronics Clearance Light # MCL95AB be Mounted and Grounded to an Aluminum Trailer FrameYou can still use the Optronics clearance light # MCL95AB with an aluminum frame. This light grounds through the mounting stud. In the event that you end up with a bad ground to the frame, you can attach a wire behind the mounting stud and run it to the main ground on the trailer connector.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting LED Lights on 2008 Shadow Horse TrailerSince most of your trailer lights are functioning I would check the two subject lights' mounting and wiring for the cause for the problem. If the light uses a mounting stud or mounting hardware to establish the ground, like # MCL95AB, then you can try sanding/cleaning the mating surfaces to remove any corrosion, dirt or trapped moisture that could be interfering with the electrical connection. Also inspect the wiring for signs of damage from road debris or hungry critters. Once you have...
view full answer... - Can 3 Sealed, Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Lights, # MCL95AB, Wire TogetherYou can wire 3 of the Sealed, Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Lights, # MCL95AB, to a single power source by splicing all three power wires together then going to a common power source. This would mean only having to make one splice rather than multiple splices like you have described and the lights would work much better. You might just need a little extra wire # 12-1-1 to reach. This wire is sold in 1 foot increments. I have included a link to a video review of...
view full answer... - Dimensions Of Mounting Stud On Optronics LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker LightThe mounting stud diameter on the LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light, part # MCL95AB measures 5/8 inches long and is 1/4 inch diameter. This comes with the nut and washer needed to install on your trailer. This is a single-wire design light. The mounting stud also doubles as the electrical ground. I have attached a link to a video you can check out.
view full answer... - Recommended Amber Side Marker Light for Snowmobile TrailerI highly recommend the Optronics Sealed, Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light # MCL95AB. This is an LED light which is 2-1/8" long x 1-1/8" wide x 1-1/16" deep and mounts by plated steel stud on base of light. It has gotten close to 200 reviews from our customers who have used it and a nearly 5-star review. I've added a link to a review video of the light for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Availability of a Clear LED Trailer Clearance Side Market LightThe closest match we have to the mini rectangular LED trailer clearance trailer side marker light # MCL95AB is the Optronics sealed, LED mini utility light # UCL13C2PG. It's 2-1/2 inches long and 1-1/16 inches wide. Other potential options to consider: # MCL13CA2B # MCL63CAB # MCL65CAB # AL91CAB I included an informative article and several video reviews too.
view full answer... - Recommendations for Submersible Boat Trailer Lights that Short Out when SubmergedThere may be some wiring on your trailer that is exposed that is causing the short on the circuit, if you can locate that and repair it as necessary you should be able to eliminate the shorting and fuse blowing you are experiencing on your trailer. I attached a demonstration video for the Optronics Trailer Light # MCL95AB for you to check out also. The other option you have would be to unplug your trailer connector before you submerge it in water. I attached an FAQ article on trailer...
view full answer... - How Long is the Power Wire Attached to the # MCL95AB LED Clearance LightThe length of the Wire attached to the Optronics Trailer Clearance Lights, item # MCL95AB, is 19-1/2 inches long.
view full answer... - Are Mounting Brackets Available for Optronics Mini LED Clearance Lights # MCL95AB and # MCL95RBThe Optronics Mini Rectangular LED Clearance Lights, # MCL95AB and # MCL95RB, are single stud surface mount lights, so they do not have a grommet or mounting bracket available. They were designed to mount directly to an existing bracket or to the trailer frame. The closest clearance lights that we carry to the dimensions of your current lights are the Optronics Square LED Clearance Light, # MCL36AB and # MCL36RB. These are also single stud surface mount lights, but the larger size should...
view full answer... - Is Optronics Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance/Side Marker Light MCL95AB SubmersibleThe Optronics Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance/Side Marker Light # MCL95AB is indeed submersible. This single-wire light uses the mounting stud to establish the ground connection and the one pigtail lead accepts the +12V signal. Please refer to the linked video.
view full answer... - How Long is the Mounting Bolt on the Optronics LED Clearance Light # MCL95ABThe bolt on the back of the clearance light # MCL95AB is approximately 5/8 inches long from the back of the light housing to the end of the bolt. Not all bolts on lights equipped with them are the same length but they are generally within very close proximity, no more than 1/4 inch off, from the lights I have measured. The stud in this light is also the grounding point. Similar lights, like # MCL13A2B, would mount using 2 screws with gasket # A13G2B. This light has 2 wires so you would...
view full answer... - Solution for Needing Side Reflectors on Vehicle FenderThat's a pretty odd place for someone to install a turn signal on a vehicle, but for a replacement that's similar we have the Sealed, Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light # MCL95AB which has dimensions of 2-1/8" L x 1-1/8" W x 1-1/16" D.

- Connection Recommendation for Connecting 12 Gauge and 20 Gauge WireI wouldn't recommend using quick splice connectors when trying to connect to different gauge wires (as well as in general). Ideally you solder the connection or you use butt connectors. If you use butt connectors you'll want to use the yellow ones like part # DW05745-10 which are for 10 to 12 gauge wires. On the lighter gauge wire you'd need to strip back quite a bit more wire than needed and then fold the wire core a few times to thicken it up and allow the butt connectors to grab them.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Clearance Lights that Don't Fully IlluminateSounds like you are overloading the running light trailer wiring circuit of your truck and that is why the lights aren't wanting to illuminate properly. Easiest solution for that is to replace all the lights with LEDs as they draw considerably less. I attached a link to all of the trailer clearance LED lights we have. Are there quite a few clearance lights on your trailer?
view full answer... - PC Rated Clearance Light Similar to the Sealed, Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance # MCL95ABPC rated means that the light is viewable from a 90 degree angle. Most other lights are considered to be viewable from a 45 degree angle. The Sealed, Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance # MCL95AB is not a PC rated clearance light. The closest light we offer to that light that is PC rated is the Mini Thin Line Sealed LED Marker/Clearance Light # AL82AB. I also attached a link to a page that has all of the PC rated clearance lights we offer.
view full answer... - Amber Clearance Light Recommendation to Increase Night Time Visibility You'd want to go with amber, LED clearance lights like the part # MCL95AB as LEDs are much brighter than incandescent bulbs. For more of a strip style light you'd want the part # MCL19AB.
view full answer... - Is There a Red Clearance Light With the Same Dimensions as the Optronics MCL95ABYes. The Optronics LED Clearance Light # MCL95RB is the red version of the Optronics LED Trailer Light # MCL95AB.
view full answer... - Red Version of Optronics LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light MCL95ABWe have a version of the # MCL95AB in red with the part # MCL95RB.
view full answer... - Upgrading Lights on 2000 Tracker PT175 Trailer to LEDWe do offer a wide variety of replacement lights for trailer but since trailer manufacturers don't keep a record of what they use on trailers I would need some pictures of the lights you are wanting to replace along with some measurements so I can be sure to recommend the correct parts.
