Video Transcript for Hands-On with the ONE LED Tail Light

Today we're going to be taking a look at part number StL003RFMB. This is the Optronics ONE LED trailer light. The round trailer light is going to serve three functions, providing your stop light, taillight and turn single light. It is going to feature a sonically sealed waterproof housing and lens unit. It is completely submersible. The ONE Series is going to provide bright light using a single diode unlike other LEDS that use a multi diode design. The ONE Series is one LED.

It's going to feature durable surface-mount technology when it comes to the construction of the LED circuit board. That's going to better withstand shock and vibration, and it's going to allow for improved heat distribution. Now, LEDs are going to make great replacements for incandescent lights. They're going to last longer. They're much more efficient. They burn brighter.

You don't have to worry about replacing the bulbs, and you don't have to worry about brittle filaments. It's going to feature the polycarbonate red lens and the polycarbonate black housing, very strong and durable. This is a recessed mount installation. It's got the built in mounting plans. It's going to contain three mounting holes. You're hardware is not included.

We take a measurement of the diameter of the recessed area from this point right here to this point right here. That's going to give us a measurement of about 4 1/2 inches. The depth of the recessed portion, measuring from the back of the flange to the back of the plug, is looking at about 1 13/16 of an inch. Now, the plug back here is going to feature a weather tight connection point on the back of the light. It does require an adapter, part number AL45PWTB that is sold separately, and it is required to work with the industry standard three-pronged plug. The light is Department of Transportation compliant. If we take a measurement of the diameter of the light face, basically just measuring that lens area, that's going to measure 4 1/4 of an inch.

Overall diameter, including the flange, you're looking at about 5 1/2 inches. Overall depth from the front of flange to the back of the plug, we're looking at about 2 inches deep. Now our mount holes are going to be separated on center apart from one another by 4 1/4 of an inch. That's going to be the same distance between each mounting hole, and those holes are going to give us a diameter of about 1/4 of an inch. Again, this light is going to contain one diode or one LED. The power draw at 12.8 volts for the stop and turn light is 0.25 amps and for the tail light is 0.007 amps. Optronics is going to put a lifetime warranty on the LED. We're going to go and hook it up to our external power-supply that way you can see what it looks like with power running to it. We'll take our plug and place it into the back portion here until it clicks into place. You can see here that it has the one LED. It sends out a nice consistent signal. This is going to be the tail light function. Then when we apply our breaks, you can see how that illuminates for a stronger signal output, and it's going to do the same thing when we activate our turn signal. That's going to do it for today's review of part number STL003RFMB.
