Troubleshooting Dim Lit Optronics LED RV Interior Light # RVILL34

Question:

I bought these lights based on frequent reviewer comment that they were really bright. I installed but did not find them bright at all! I attached a pic. When turned on, it gives a spot of light at the led, but there is not output past the lens. I does not illuminate the area below the light by any discernible amount. Any thoughts what might be going on? 2007 Pioneer Trailer

I attached a picture of how bright the Optronics LED RV Interior Light # RVILL34 should be. As dim as your are in the picture you submitted makes me think that you either have a bad ground on your assembly or the power source you are using isn't 12 volts. Is it possible your trailer is 6 volts? I kind of doubt it is since you said it was made in 2007.

Use a volt meter # PT89ZR to test the power wire you are using to verify that you are getting full 12 volts at the lights.

You could even try powering light with a vehicle battery just to see if that makes it light up brighter as a way to test it.
