Recommended Interior Lights for Utility Van
Question:
Im looking for small light fixtures to use as interior lights in a utility van. The thought occurred to me to use trailer side marker lights Im also a truck driver. In looking through your inventory I ran across the MC42RB and AB fixtures, which would be perfect, because of the twin bulbs, mounting style, grounding style, etc. However, for interior lighting I obviously want/need clear lenses, which are not shown as a replacement option. Ideas?

I do have a solution for you for interior lights for your utility van but the Optronics # MC42RB Double Bullseye Trailer Clearance Light does not have a clear lens available. What I do suggest is their Rectangular Porch and Utility Light with Switch # RVPL3C or the version without the switch, part # RVPL1C. Both offer a surface-mount housing like the MC42RB.
If you prefer high-efficiency LED lights for reduced power consumption and heat then you might consider the Optronics Opti-Brite LED Interior Strip Light # ILL71CBAWN. This slim low-profile 18-diode light features surface-mount installation and 2-wire hookup. LEDs never require replacement.
For reference I included a link to all utility lights. You can click on the attributes you prefer to sort the results.
