Lighting manufacturers Optronics International have announced the expansion of their ONE LED line of single-diode lamps with the introduction of the four-inch round back-up lamp (BUL003CB, pictured right) and the six-inch oval back-up lamp (BUL002CB, pictured above). The company touts the lamps’ competitive price point and long-lasting life.

“The advantages of LED vehicle lighting, as well as the shortcomings of traditional incandescent lighting, are well known throughout the industry,” Brett Johnson, president and chief executive officer of Optronics International, said. “Unfortunately, with LED lamps priced at about four to six times the cost of incandescent lamps, cost has posed a barrier, and our new ONE LED Back-Up Lamps remove that barrier.”

In engineering its ONE LED Lamps, Optronics has taken advantage of progress made in LED technology and cost to create back-up lamps with the appearance of incandescent lamps. One big difference is that ONE LED Back-Up Lamps are covered by a lifetime warranty and will provide a service life of approximately 100,000 hours, as opposed to the 2,000-hour service life expectation from an incandescent lamp.

A grommet-mount version of the new BUL003CB four-inch round back-up lamp and the BUL002CB 6-in. oval back-up lamp will be introduced first and will be followed by flange-mount versions. The lamps are available with standard PL-3 and weather tight termination options, allowing ONE Series LED Lamps to make use of existing harness connections for installation flexibility and cost-effective retrofitting.
