Optronics develops new MCL16 LED marker/clearance lights

Optronics International has introduced its new 1 1/4-in. MCL16 LED marker/clearance light to the market. Nebraska-based trailer builder Timpte, Inc. will be the first to use the new light on its dry bulk commodity trailers, and Optronics lighting will now come standard across the board on all Timpte trailers, including the 2022 Super Hopper model trailers.

The six-diode MCL16 Series lights are hard wired and include separate grounding wires and a PVC gromet. Dual-function models are available for supplemental stop and turn functions. MCL16 Series lamps include models featuring a yellow lens, a red lens, a clear lens that is yellow when illuminated and a clear lens that is red when illuminated.

The lamp’s lens and housing are made of tough polycarbonate material that is sealed and waterproof, the company says. The lamp employs a solid-state, surface-mount device (SMD) design that protects its electronics against moisture, shock and vibration. These lamps come with lifetime warranty protection that will replace the lamp if even one diode fails, Optronics says.

Some versions of the new 1 1/4-in. MCL16 LED marker/clearance light are in stock now, and all are expected to be in stock and available for shipping by the end of the second quarter of this year.
