Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Diode Dynamics SS3 Max LED fog pod light with bracket. Now this three-inch LED fog pod light is going to give you bright light with reduced glare for improved visibility and safety. As you can see, I have this light already connected to my power source, and what you're looking at here is the amber backlight. I also wanted to point out that I do have the bracket loosely installed on this light, and this aluminum U-bracket is going to let you install this light virtually anywhere on your vehicle.
And I am using the hardware to secure it to this light. And then you're gonna get the hardware to secure the bracket to your vehicle. And what's nice about this bracket is you are gonna be able to adjust the angle of the light as well. And then once you get that angle that you're looking for, you can just tighten down the hardware and you'll be good to go. Now one of my favorite features of this light is this amber backlight.
This is going to be great for a stylish touch or for more visibility when you're not using that main beam. I went ahead and turned my studio lights off here just to give you a better idea of what that backlight's gonna look like in low light or dark conditions. And now I'm giving you a wide view here just so you can see. So that's really a great touch that this light offers. Now I'm going to turn this light to an angle here just so I don't blind you with the main beam.
And so this main fog beam is going to give you quite a view here. I'm gonna turn this and shine this on the wall behind me. So as you can see, that fog pattern is gonna give you high-intensity light at an extremely wide field of view. The light has a color temperature of 3,000 kelvin yellow, so this is going to be great for bad weather like rain and fog. And so that's what it looks like with this off and back to the backlight, and then that's what it looks like with the beam on.
I'm gonna go ahead and turn my studio lights back on and I wanna give you one more demonstration of that fog beam on the wall behind me with the lights on. So you can see just how bright this light is. Now this light has a raw lumen rating of 7,920 lumens, and then a measured lumen rating of 3,500 lumens. And then the peak beam intensity is 12,500 candela. And in case you don't know, candela ratings measure the directional light output and it's how anything is rated where you want light shining in a specific direction. Lumen ratings are just for omnidirectional output, like your regular light bulbs where you want light shining in all directions. But for a more detailed description of this rating, you can visit this product page on our website or Diode Dynamics provides additional information that you can find. The power draw on the main beam is three amps, and for that backlight, it's 0.03 amps. Now this light is designed with a newer technology known as custom TIR optics. TIR stands for total internal reflection. So unlike the older technology that uses reflectors or simple projector lenses, which aren't great at focusing all of the light where you want it, this custom-designed large TIR optic actually collects and focuses all of the light forward very efficiently. And from there, instead of having another external lens, certain lens patterns have been molded directly into the surface of this lens. This is going to prevent the normal efficiency loss you see with an outside lens. As you probably know, when you shine light through any type of glass or plastic, you could lose up to 10% of that light just from it shining through. So by making it as part of this lens, you pick up some efficiency there. Now this does use the industry-standard integrated Deutsche-style connector, and I do have that pigtail here. And as you can see, I have it connected to the slide to my power source, but that pigtail does have that Deutsche-style connector. And then this light also has a breather valve. So let me go ahead and turn this around here so you can see. And so that breather valve or breather patch is going to be great to prevent any moisture buildup. And as you can see, we do have these heat sinks here on the back of the housing. They're gonna do a great job of dissipating the heat quickly to increase the longevity of this light. And this light has been built with high-intensity LED chips, and it features a durable powder-coated aluminum construction. The heavy-duty construction is going to withstand extreme temperatures, corrosion, and vibration. And testing is completed to SAE standards, just like your factory lighting components on your vehicle. Actually, Diode Dynamics is designed, engineered, and has assembled this light right down the highway from us at their headquarters here in the Greater St. Louis area. So just some overall measurements. Measuring the width from end to end, we're sitting at about 3 1/4 inches. And the same with our height, 3 1/4 inches from end to end. The depth from the end of our heat sinks to the end of our light here, the front of our light rather, we're sitting about 2 3/8 inches deep. And with this bracket added the height from the top of our light all the way to the bottom of our bracket, we're sitting about 3 3/4 inches. Now this light does draw high current, as I'm sure you can appreciate, and it does require adequately-sized wiring for safe operation. If you're not using a Diode Dynamics wiring harness, then you do wanna be sure that you're using wiring that's 16-gauge or larger to ensure safe operation. Now we do also provide lights from Diode Dynamics without the bracket. So if you wanted this light without the bracket, we do have that available. Or you can buy this as a set, a pair of lights with the brackets or without the brackets. We have different intensities, we have different types of lights as well from Diode Dynamics. So if this isn't exactly what you're looking for, I'm confident that you can find the light setup that you're looking for here at trailer.com. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together has been illuminating for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
