Video Transcript for Optronics Trailer Lights - Tail Lights - RVSTB61 Review

Today we're going to be taking a look at product number RVSTB61. This is the Optronics rectangular RV tail light for the driver's side of the RV. It's going to serve 4 functions. You're going to have your stop light, your tail light, your turn signal light and here on the bottom, it's got a nice clear lens that's going to be able to shine light down towards your license plate. It's going to feature the nice black ABS plastic base with a red acrylic lens. The lens is replaceable.

It simply just snaps in here on the sides. That way it can be easily replaced. If we take the lens off, it's going to allow us to easily gain access to the incandescent bulb. If we need to replace that, it's bulb type 1157. It's also going to allow us to gain access to our mounting holes. There's going to be 4 mounting holes, 2 on each side.

Then the lens simply just snaps back on. It's got these little tabs. It just clicks back into place for a nice, tight, secure fit. Here on the bottom, we're going to have the clear lens for the license plate light. We've got the license mounting bracket that's built into the housing.

Those holes are going to be separated on center by right at 7 inches. This is a surface mount installation. The tail light's designed to mount directly to the surface of the trailer. You can see here in the back we got a nice flat design. There's the backside of those 4 mounting locations. Your hardware is not included.

We're going to have a three wire design. We're going to have our white wire. This is going to be for ground. Black wire's going to be for the tail lights and then green wire's going to be for our stop and turn signals. It is Department of Transportation compliant so it meets FMVSS and CMVSS requirements for automotive lighting. We take a measurement of the overall length of the light. From edge to edge, we're looking at about 8-5/8 of an inch long. Measuring this direction, just the light portion, not including the tabs for the license plate bracket, we're measuring about 3-3/16 of an inch. If we measure down to the bottom of the tabs here for the license plate bracket to the top of the light, we're looking at about 5 inches. If we measure the depth, back to front, we're looking at about 2-1/4 of an inch. The mount holes are going to have a separation going this direction. Center on center, that looks to be about 7-3/8 of an inch. Going in this direction, center on center, that's going to measure, looks to be about 1-7/8 of an inch. The power draw, 12.8 volts for the stop light is 2.65 amps and for the tail lights is 2.10 amps. We're going to go and hook it up to our external power source. That way you can see what it looks like with some power running to it. We'll just make all of the necessary connections here. This is going to be the tail light function. You can see there it sends out a nice, consistent signal. It is an incandescent bulb. The clear lens at the bottom allows light to come through which will illuminate the license plate. If we apply our brakes, you can see how that increases the light output for a stronger signal. It's going to do that same thing when we activate our turn signals. That's going to do it for today's review of part number RVSTB61.
