Light up work sites, ramps, and river launches with Optronics off road lights. Bright, easy-to-mount options cover everything from compact spots to wide flood patterns for reversing, loading, and trail use. For wiring, use your trailer's ground on aluminum frames or ground to a steel frame, and keep connections weatherproof and grounded properly for reliable performance over time.
Yes, they work well as reverse lights. Tie power into the reverse pin on a 7-way and use a solid ground. On aluminum frames use the trailer's ground wire; on steel you can ground to the frame. A flood pattern helps light both sides and the center when backing or launching in the dark.
Most use a simple 2-wire hookup—black to power and white to ground—so they can be wired into an existing circuit. Verify the light's stated system voltage, such as 12, 24, or 36 volt DC, matches your trailer. If the included pigtail is short, plan to extend the leads. If no switch is included, add one where it's convenient.
Use automotive primary wire sized for the total draw and distance; for a pair on a long bumper-to-engine run, 14 AWG has been used successfully, and 12 AWG if you expect to add more lights. Install a 5A fuse near the power source. Weatherproof all connections and confirm a solid ground.
They can create interference in some setups. If you run a CB, test the lights with the radio on before final mounting. If you notice noise, try different grounding points or routing, add suppression as needed, or choose a different light style that's quieter with your equipment.
