Question:

I am interested in purchasing either of the following Optronics back up lights for my flatbed pickup: BU33CRXLB BUL35CB I understand the efficiency difference and the reflective feature. I have a couple questions: Is the LED version SIGNIFICANTLY BRIGHTER than the incandescent? Is the e-trailer branding on the face of the light easily removable? Or, is it only on the demo models used for the website? Thank you

The difference between the lights isn't in the brightness so much as the clarity, so the Optronics LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # BUL35CB is not significantly brighter overall than the Backup Light with Red Reflex Reflector # BU33CRXLB.

I have added some photos showing the lights on for some reference, though keep in mind it's not a perfect representation due to camera angle, room darkness, etc. but I wanted to show an example of the different kind of light. In regards to the etrailer sticker, it will not be on either light when you receive it; like you said it is for demo models for the website.

With either of these lights, you will also need Grommet # A33GB and 2-Wire Pigtail # A45CB.

I have added links below to video reviews of both lights for you to check out as well if you'd like.
