Optronics does not have a weight rating for their Magnetic LED Tow Light Kit # TLL21RK, however, this magnet is very strong and has been road tested at high speeds in varying weather conditions.

This product is also made from durable polycarbonate, and is sonically sealed to waterproof the lens and housing from weather damage.
