Question:

What is the lumen output of a PE63FV light? Does wiring this light up to 24 voltswhich it is rated for change the lumen output? ie, Does doubling the voltage double the output?

Expert Reply:

The Great White LED Utility Light, part # PE63FV, that you referenced is a 16-diode LED light that is compatible with 12V and 24V outputs and has a 2-wire pigtail.

The Light Guide LED Backup Light for Truck/Trailer, part # BUL602CB, is a 12-diode LED light that has a PL-2 connection type.

The Optronics LED Trailer Utility Light, part # BUL78C3MB, is a 10-diode LED light that is compatible with 12V systems and accepts industry standard 2-prong or 3-prong plugs.

The other Optronics Light, part # BUL78CB, is also a 10-diode LED light that is compatible 12V outputs, but it has a 2-wire pigtail at the end.

As for using this on a power wheelchair, I cannot say as we have not tested that. Your best bet is to use one of the 2-wire pigtails since those can be spliced into whatever you need to splice them into.

I've linked to video reviews of all of these below.

I called Peterson Manufacturing to confirm this for you. The lumen output of the # PE63FV Great White LED Utility Light is 80 lumens. This is the same regardless of voltage used. I.E. doubling the voltage does not double the output.
