Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this V-shaped red ID light bar for over 80 inch wide boat trailers. Now, this V-shaped ID light will function as a rear identification light bar on boat trailers that are wider than 80 inches. And that is required by law to have a rear identification light bar on the back. This one, you can see is a nice low profile design.
Let me just zoom in, get you close up here. This low profile design will allow for installation in tight spaces. And it is a sealed waterproof housing and lens unit, which is submersible. Does have an IP 68 rating, which means it's resistant to submersion up to a maximum depth of five feet underwater for up to about 30 minutes. And they do use a military-grade construction of the circuit board.
It uses urethane potting, which offers better protection than your common epoxy potting. And these do use premium LEDs, which are energy efficient, long-lasting, and vibration resistant. They are rated for up to 100,000 hours of operation. It is a nice durable polycarbonate housing and lens, and you can see it is a red lens over three red LEDs. It is compatible with 12 volt DC system, and it is a surface mount installation.
Now, the hardware to install this is not included. There's two installation holes right here that the hardware would go through. Now, this does hardwire to your trailer. You can see it's a two-wire design. The wire length they give you is about 58 inches.
Now, at the end of this video, I am gonna hook this up to some 12 volt power just to show you how bright the light is. Now, this will meet or exceed your Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 108 standards. Few specs on this, the input voltage is nine volts to 14 volts. Power draw is .07 to .09 amps. Few measurements and then we'll hook it up to some power. So, the overall length from end to end, if I put the ruler on it, this is a 13 inch rule, 13 inch length ruler, and you can see it's just under 13 inches. So, it's about 12 15/16 of an inch long. The height is gonna be right at two inches tall. And the thickness of it is about a half an inch thick. Distance between those two mounting holes we mentioned, center to center is right at nine inches. So, what I'm gonna do is go ahead and hook the power and the ground wire up. So, we'll go ahead and hook our power. Hook up our ground wire. And then with those both attached, I'll go ahead and turn on the 12 volt. There you can see the three LEDs. We'll go ahead and turn off the overhead light. And you can see when this is attached at the rear of your boat trailer, these LEDs will give you a nice red identification light. And I'll go ahead and zoom out just so you can see it at a distance. Turn back on our lights. Turn off our power. But that should do it for the review on this V-shaped red ID light bar for the over 80 inch wide boat trailers..

Haul your large boat trailer safely, with this 12-15/16" x 2", submersible, V-shaped identification light. When attached to the back of your trailer, this red light indicates to other drivers that your trailer is 80" or wider.The light shorted out after first use. Plugged the harness back in after launching a boat and it stopped working. Changed out all the wire connections and it didn’t work. Seemed to not be waterproof at the light. I think I just got a faulty one. Will still do business with etrailer, not their fault.
Product appears to be well made and fits my boat trailer perfectly!
3 LEDs with sealed connections. Much brighter than previous identifier light on trailer
Great concept. I had gotten a boat trailer with a straight ID light bar installed on the V, and it had broken where it didn't line up with the steel beam. This v-shaped light is perfect, and the price is a bargain.
Smaller than my original light, less than I preferred but will work
Got parts fast worked out good
Great company! Great service!
Good product and great price.
I BROKE THE ONE ON THE TRAILER AND WAS WORRIED ABOUT A REPLACEMENT DU TO THE WIERD DESIGN, BUT eTRAIER CAME THRU AGAIN
Worked fine, and fit the boat trailer "vee" very well. Did not come with screws. Took a while to get it.
The old light bar was brutal and one light didn’t work replaced it with the new bar very happy hope it lasts a long time
Just what we needed, works great.
Looks great and working great after being in salt water almost every week.
Diagram was accurate and helpful. Perfect fit
Light is bright. fits trailer well.
Nice and bright very well made
