LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer - Submersible - 6 Diodes - Round - Clear Lens - Qty 1

Video Transcript for Checking Out the LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Optronics LED round backup light. This is designed for trailers and utility trucks. It is certified for the backup light function in a two lamp system. When a pair of lights is installed, your second light is going to be sold separately. The unit features a sonicly sealed waterproof housing and lens unit that can be submersed in water. It's going to contain LEDs. LEDs are going to make great replacements for incandescent lights.

They last much longer. They're much more efficient. They burn brighter. You don't have to worry about replacing bulbs, and you don't have to worry about brittle filaments. We're looking at a polycarbonate lens and housing. It's going to contain white LEDs with a clear lens.

It is designed to be a recess mount with a mounting grommet. Your grommet is sold separately. If you're in need of one, you can find them here at etrailer.com. It's going to require a plug here at the back. Your plugs are sold separately as well, and if you're in need, you can find them here at etrailer.com as well. On the back you're going to notice that it has a three pin connection.

Since this is a backup light, it only needs a ground and power connection, so it only requires a two prong plug. Optronics puts the three pin connector on most of their lights even though it may only require a two prong plug, so don't let that throw you off. The two prong plug, as you'll see later when we connect it to our power source, it will cover up all three pins for a nice sealed design. The unit is Department of Transportation compliant and meets FMVSS108 requirements. Taking a look at the dimensions of the light, starting with the diameter. That's going to measure 4 1/4 of an inch.

The depth, including the plug, that's going to measure 1 5/8 of an inch. Just this area here is going to measure 3/4 of an inch. The unit's going to contain 6 LEDs. There's 6 diodes. The power draw is 0.180 amps at 12.8 volts, and Optronics is going to put a lifetime warranty on the LEDs. We're going to go ahead and hook it up to our external power source and turn off our overhead lights, so you can see the unit when it's turned on and in the low light setting. Here's our two prong connector. It goes into these ports right here. Push it in. It creates a nice sealed fit. You can see here the light sends out a really nice consistent signal. The white LEDs with the clear lens allows a lot of light to come through, and the multi-diode design is really going to help optimize our light output. That's going to do it for today's look at the Optronics LED backup light.
