It is difficult to compare the brightness on the different LED oval tail lights. Neither Bargman nor Optronics share lumen ratings for their tail lights. So, when comparing the Bargman 48 Diode Tail Light # 47-06-404 with the Optronics 22 Diode # STL111RB, or the Optronics 10 Diode # STL72RB, you won't notice a huge difference with the naked eye. But, in most cases, the more diodes there are in an LED light, the brighter it will be. This is not always the case, but all LED tail lights will be significantly brighter than the standard incandescent tail light bulbs.

So, if you are looking for the brightest oval LED tail light, I recommend the Bargman 48 Diode, # 47-06-404 that you mentioned. You will need either the standard Pigtail # 40-00-003 or the 90 degree Pigtail # 40-00-004 for installation. I also recommend purchasing the grommet, # A70GB.
