Optronics’ Low-Profile, Multifunction LED Taillight

Optronics International introduced a STL02/03 LED taillight. The low-profile, surface-mount lamps take on stop, tail and turn functions, as well as serve as rear and side clearance and marker lamps, and rear and side reflectors.

The taillights also come with a license plate light.

Though the lamps fit within the standard footprint for taillights, they have a unique shape and automotive styling, Optronics officials said in a press release.

The STL02/03 LED taillight’s modular design has also been engineered so that it can be configured into novel lighting assemblies that can easily be customized to meet the preferences of OEMs and fleets alike, company officials said.

The thin, surface-mount lamps measure 1.25 inches in depth, and can be mounted virtually anywhere regulations allow. The lamps are available with stud mounts that enable installation from the rear, and they can also be mounted from the front, using screws or other fastener methods.

The lamps are compatible with a range of vehicle types, including box trucks, bulk haulers, CNG transports, concrete mixers, cranes, dump bodies, fire and rescue, flatbeds, food and beverage, service bodies, and utility and telecom vehicles.

The lamp’s lens and housing are made of tough polycarbonate material that is sealed and waterproof. The lamp employs a solid-state, surface-mount device design that protects its electronics against moisture, shock and vibration. Like all LED products from Optronics, these lamps come with a no-hassle, one-diode lifetime warranty protection that will replace the lamp if even one diode fails.

Upcoming modular iterations with backup functions and additional lens options are expected in the first quarter of 2022.
