Video Transcript for Review of Optronics Trailer Lights - Indentification Light Bar with Utility Light - OPT88FR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this red identification light bar. This is a 15 1/2 inch long, 1 1/4 inch tall, and 5/8 of an inch thick trailer light that can be mounted to the surface of your trailer. Right at the center rear-side for your trailers that are 80 inches wide or wider. This will act as your identification light bar. So your red diodes here are spaced 6 1/4 of an inch apart.

So that is going to meet your Department of Transportation regulations. So it is going to be compliant. If we turn the lights off here you can see those are gonna be nice bright red lights as you're driving down the road at night. So other motorists can tell where the back of your trailer is. Then we also have the utility light that can be turned on so that if you're working at the back of your trailer, you need some extra light in the dark to see, whether you're loading up or whatever the case may be.

You have those nice, bright white lights there at the back to help you see in those low-light conditions. Now our lens and our base are a durable polycarbonate construction that are sonically sealed to be waterproof. So this is gonna be great for your boat trailers and that sort of thing that needs to be submerged. This will hold up well, won't let any water in there. This does use 17 LEDs, if you're not familiar, LEDs are kind of the wave of the future.

They are a great replacement for those older incandescent style lights. They're a lot more efficient. So they're gonna provide brighter light with less power output. Our LEDs here are going to have a 400 lumens effective rate. So it's gonna provide plenty of light for you.

These are also going to be a lot more durable for you. They don't have the brittle filaments inside like your incandescent bulbs used to. So you're not gonna need to replace them nearly as often. These last about 50 times longer than your incandescent lights. And these LEDs specifically come with a lifetime warranty. So you can trust they're gonna hold up well, do a great job for you. Now, these bulbs are P2 rated, which means they have about a 90 degree angle that they are visible from. So they are gonna be great straight on, someone coming up from behind you, but they aren't great to the side there. So something to keep in mind when you are putting this on your trailer, you won't be able to see them so well from the side. But they are gonna be great from directly behind you. This is a hardwire system. So you're gonna have these three wires here. Your white is your ground. And then your black is your utility light power. And your red is for your red diodes. So, very easy to get set up. This does work on your 12-volt applications systems. The distance for our mounting holes is going to be 14 1/2 of an inch apart. Those mounting holes are 1/8 of an inch in diameter. So it should be very easy to get this mounted right to the surface of your trailer. Get those wires hooked up and you'll be ready to start going down the road. So this is gonna be a really nice option for those of you who are needing to replace that identification light on the back of your trailer. Having that utility light there is gonna be an added perk to make sure that you're able to see in those low-light conditions. So that's gonna complete our look for today.
