Optronics LED Trailer Utility or Hitch Light - Submersible - 9 Diodes - White/Blue LEDs - Clear Lens

Video Transcript for Optronics Trailer Lights - Utility Lights - UCL09CBB Review

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at a Optronics LED Trailer Utility or Hitch Light.This round trailer light mounts wherever you need a little extra light. You can mount it near your trailer's coupler to make it easier to see when you're hitching up to your vehicle. It does feature a sonically sealed design, so it's completely waterproof when it comes to the housing and lens, so it is submersible. It features durable surface-mount technology when it comes to the construction of LED circuit board. That better withstands shock and vibration, and allows for improved heat distribution.Now, at the end of the video, I hook it up to power. I'm going to show you what it looks like with power running to it, and with our overhead lights turned off, but I do want to mention that this is a LED system.

LEDs make great replacements for incandescent lights. They last longer, they burn brighter, they're more efficient. You don't have to worry about replacing bulbs or worry about brittle filaments.Again, nice durable lens. It's a polycarbonate lens and housing. It's strong and durable.

This one offers white and blue LEDs with a clear lens. It's a three-wire pigtail, so your white wire is your ground wire. Black wire is the power wire for the white LEDs. Blue wire is the power wire for the blue LEDs.It mounts directly on the surface of the trailer. You've got three mount holes.

Mounting hardware not included, but it does have that built-in flange. Also, if you want to add a clean, finished look to the unit, you can purchase a snap-on trim ring that is sold separately. It can be added to give it a finished look.When it comes to the overall measurements, I'll start it with the overall diameter. Edge to edge, that's 3-1/4". And as you can see here, it's a nice low-profile unit.

If I place that, get that and measure up to this point here, we're looking at a thickness of about 1/2", so a nice low-profile design. The actual light face has a diameter of 3".We're going to go and hook it up to power. That way, we can see what it looks like with some power running to it. Again, white wire is our ground wire. Black wire is for the white LEDs, and then the blue wire is for the blue LEDs. Now, before I hook that up, I do just want to go over some other specs for you real quick. This has a total of nine diodes, so six of them are white, three are blue. Light output is 151 lumens. Power draw 12.8 volts is 0.114 amps.Now, there's a couple different ways that you can wire this. Again, the black wire is for the white LEDs. Blue wire is for the blue LEDs. You could wire them together, so that way, when the light comes on, it's a mix of blue and white LEDs. You could wire it to where it's just the white LEDs. You could wire it to where it's just the blue LEDs. Also, you could wire the other color to a switch, so that way, when you activate a switch, the white LEDs kick on, and then the other way applies as well. You could wire the blue LEDs to a switch. That way, when the switch is activated, the blue LEDs kick on. So, there's a lot of different ways.Again, you have white LEDs, blue LEDs, three-wire design. White wire is ground, blue wire is for the three blue LEDs, black wire is for the six white LEDs.Optronics also puts a lifetime warranty on their LEDs.That's going to do it for today's look at the Optronics LED Trailer Utility or Hitch Light.
