Question:

Setting up tail lights for a rock crawler and Id like to place emphasis on the brightest reverse lights available which will still meet DOT regulations. Im looking at the simple round form factors and noted on this product UCL60CB you answered a question about actual effective lumen output. Do have such data available for all the round white led lights you offer? Im mostly interested in the 3 to 4inch sizes, but would take whatever data you have or a specific recommendation. Thanks in advance.

I can help you figure out what reverse lights are going to be the brightest.

The brightest reverse light is going to be the Optronics GloLight # BUL101CB. This 4 inch round backup light will have 326.4 Lumens, is DOT certified for a backup light function in a 2-lamp system when a pair of lights is installed.

For a combined reverse and tail light, I recommend the Optronics # STL201RB. This 4-5/16 inch round light will have a reverse light with 230.4 Lumens. This light is also DOT compliant.

I have linked the above mentioned products to this page for your convenience.
