Grote
To help fleets maximize uptime and safety in harsh conditions, Grote Industries developed the heated all-weather stop/tail/turn lamps. Designed to prevent snow and ice buildup, these lamps automatically begin heating when the temperature drops below 40°F. This ensures drivers maintain visibility and compliance without the need to scrape lenses. The system uses advanced thermal regulation technology to prevent overheating and reduce power consumption, saving time and money. Available in 4- and 6-in. sizes, including backup lamp options, the company says these LED STT lamps are ideal for retrofit programs, with bulk pack options available.
Hella
Hella says its MLB 200 LED light bar is a compact and powerful optical warning system, measuring 16 in. long and only 1.4 in. high. Designed for durability, it is weatherproof and vibration-resistant, and it is backed by a five-year warranty. Operating on 10-30 VDC, the light bar features 24 user-selectable flash patterns and consumes 74 watts. It’s available in amber and amber/white with SAE J845 Class 1, California Title 13, and ECE-R10 certifications, ensuring compliance with key standards. Mounting options include fixed and magnet mounts. The fixed version comes with a 10-in. cable and open wire leads, while the magnet version consists of a 10-in. spiral cable with a lighter plug and integrated switches.
Optronics
Optronics’ STL104 Series integrates logos and graphics into 4-in. round LED stop/turn/tail lights through patented manufacturing technology. The lights feature 29 SMD LEDs, with 10 paired with optics for light output and 19 illuminating the logo portion during stop-and-turn functions. Each light undergoes individual testing for photometric compliance, shock resistance, and FMVSS 108 requirements.
Customers provide high-resolution graphics, which Optronics incorporates into the light’s lens design. The lights are FMVSS compliant for under 80-in. applications and may be used in over 80-in. applications when properly installed. They feature industry-standard PL3 connections and grommet mounting, with alternative connection and mounting options available. Applications span fleet vehicles, work trucks, specialty vehicles, and trailers.
Peterson
Peterson Manufacturing says its 2101 rectangular surface-mount LED work/scene light delivers an intense 2,300-lumen output, providing a broad, high-visibility flood beam for demanding work environments. Engineered for performance and durability, it features a rugged die-cast aluminum housing with integrated heat-dissipating fins to ensure optimal thermal management. Designed for versatility, it mounts at a 45-degree angle and supports both 12V and 24V electrical systems thanks to its advanced multi-volt circuitry. Rated IP67 for protection against dust and water ingress, the 2101 is built for the harshest conditions.
Phillips
BoardFree lighting from Phillips eliminates the circuit board entirely. The electronics are embedded in a solid, sealed design with no internal air space. The company says this prevents water intrusion, reduces vibration damage, and eliminates the need for a heat sink. The result is a slimmer, more durable light that performs reliably in harsh environments and lasts longer with fewer maintenance issues. Made in America, BoardFree lighting is designed to meet fleet demands. For a fully sealed system, Phillips recommends specifying its lighting with the STA-DRY harness for a complete moisture-blocking solution that can be specified at any trailer OEM.
TecNiq
TecNiq’s all-new E110 360-degree ultra spotlight was designed to provide remote-accessible, high-powered illumination (5,000 lumens). Whether servicing utility lines, removing debris from storms, or simply working in poorly lit areas, the company says its E110 has the light and features today’s fleets and service vehicles demand, including a surface mount design with mounting plate, remote that allows for 360 degrees of turn, and 100% sealed design that keeps circuit boards safe. The product meets IP68 rating for dust and water incursion, and it comes with a lifetime warranty.
Truck-Lite
Truck-Lite says its new 34 Series 1.25-in. LED marker and clearance light is designed specifically for the specialty trailer market and applications requiring a slightly larger mounting hole. It ensures quick, easy installation with a 1-3/8-in. mounting hole and compatibility with material thicknesses up to 0.22 in. PC-rated optics meet 180-degree visibility requirements with just one lamp, reducing component count and installation time. The manufacturer says the hardwired design simplifies retrofits, while single-function and dual-function options (with auxiliary stop/turn capability) offer flexibility to meet diverse lighting needs. Both models deliver bright legal light output with a smooth, even glow for enhanced visibility. For a unified appearance, the single-function lamp matches the dual-function lamp’s minor output. Available in red or yellow with clear lens options and built for longevity, its fully epoxy-encapsulated internal circuitry resists corrosion, water, and vibration for long-term durability.
