What is the Brightness Output of the Optronics 6-1/2 Inch LED Trailer Lights

Question:

Are these the brightest back up lights in this size/shape? How many lumens are these? How do these compare in lumens to the 10 diode part Code: BUL72CB?

Optronics uses candelas to rate the brightness of their lights instead of lumens and the output of the Optronics 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Back Up light, # BUL52CB, is 175 candela. At a distance of 1 foot, the candela output is equal to the output in lumens.

This light has the highest candela output of any of our 6-1/2 inch oval LED lights. The LED 10 diode light, # BUL72CB, has an output of 123 candela and the LED 10 super diode light, # BUL78CB, has an output of 125 candela. Another thing to keep in mind is that lights # BUL72CB and # BUL78CB should only be used as utility lights and were not designed for use as back up lights.

If you are looking for back up lights for a trailer, then I would recommend going with the # BUL52CB lights.
