Question:

Difference between a 1A-V-1240R and a 1A-V-1260R

Expert Reply:

Those part numbers are for trailer clearance lights, and the main difference between 1a-v-1240R and 1a-v-1260r is that the 1240R is a led light, and the 1260r is a incandescent light. Both lights have red lenses and are 3 7/8 inches long, by 1 1/4 inch wide.

We do have replacement lights that will work in both styles. For an led red marker light you can use Optronics Thinline LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light # MCL75RB. For an incandescent light use Optronics Incandescent Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MC65RB.

I recommend going with leds over incandescent bulbs. They last longer, shine brighter, and there's no bulb to replace.

Both lights are submersible, so no need to worry if its going on a boat trailer, or anything that may see water. We do have a wide variety of lights available in both led and incandescent, you can check them out with the link I provided along with the videos of the lights.
