Specs:
The waterproof construction of this light makes it ideal for use on trailers that may be submerged, like a boat trailer. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together to create a single unit, which means that water will not get into the light and damage the diodes or circuit board.
Surface-mount lights install flat against the surface of the trailer, so a hole does not need to be cut into the trailer for the light. This type of light is installed using a flange or bracket that has mounting holes. And mounting hardware is used to secure the light to the trailer.
A P2-rated light produces a 45-degree angle of light to either side of its centerline for a total of 90 degrees of coverage. This beam pattern can be seen straight on, but it cannot be seen clearly from the side. So this type of light can be used as either a side marker light or a clearance light, but it cannot function as both. If you need both functions, then you must install 2 separate lights on your trailer - one as a front or rear clearance light and one as a side marker light.

Today we're going to be taking a look at part number MCL48CAB. This is Optronics LED Trailer Side Marker Clearance Light with Midshift turn signal capability. This is going to be sonically sealed with a waterproof design, so it is submersible. We're going to have yellow or amber LEDs with a nice clear lens. It's also going to use miroflex technology, so that design is going to provide increase light output. Here at the backside, we're going to have a 3-wire design, so white wire is going to be our ground, black wire's going to be our power lead, and then the red wire's going to be for the turn signal. This is a P2 rated light that meets SAE and Department of Transportation requirements.
We're going to have the polycarbonate lens and housing. It's going to contain a total of 16 LEDs, that LEDs are going to be great replacements for incandescent lights that are going to last longer, they're going to burn brighter, and they're going to be much more efficient. You don't have to worry about replacing the bulbs and you don't have to worry about brittle filaments. When it comes to the power drill, it's going to be at 12.8 volts for the side marker. A 0.074 amps and for the turn signal is 0.248 amps. Let's take a look at the overall dimension real quick starting with the overall length.
Measuring from edge to edge, that's going to give us a measurement of about 5 11/16 of an inch. The width is going to measure right at 2 inches, and then the depth from back to front is going to give us the depth of about 1 3/8 of an inch. Surface mount design, you're going to have two mounting locations, one on each ends. Mounting hardware is not included, those mounting holes is going to be separated on center. That looks to be 4 and 13/16 of an inch, and Optronics is going to put a lifetime warranty on the LEDs. Let's go and hook it up to our external power source, that way you can see what it looks like with power running to it.
We'll also be able to turn off our overhead lights so you can see it in a low light setting. You can see here, it's in that really nice consistent signal. Again, 16 diodes or LEDs in the neuroflex design, really does help optimize light output as well as the multidiode design. Now, when we apply our turn signal, you can see how that illuminates for a stronger signal output. Really nice light.
That's going to do it for today's look at part number MCL48CAB from Optronics.

6" x 2-1/4" Rectangle. Waterproof trailer light functions as both a side marker light and mid-ship turn signal. Durable polycarbonate housing and lens. Surface mount - hardware not included. 3-Wire pigtail. P2 rated. 16 Amber LEDs.I was looking for a clear/amber marker/signal light for my truck front custom bumper. I liked the fact that these were rectangular on the raised part of the light, because it was always my intention of using them in a reversed flush mount position.They were a little pricy, but I have had Optronics led's before and they seem to hold up well. The fact that they are clear when not on blends well with the factory lights and light bar on the bumper.
Very good product, I will recommend this light to anyone who wants to upgrade a boat trailer.
We were very satisfied with the service and quality of product that we ordered from etrailer.
GOT THEM EARLY AND IT WAS WORTH THE WAI T....THANKS,
It’s a big light.... seems well made.... haven’t installed it yet. But they are bright.
Exactly what I ordered.
