Optronics’ new MCL marker/clearance lights offer greater customization

by Today's Trucking

Optronics International is offering a new line of uniquely shaped MCL Series marker/clearance lights it says gives trailer OEMs more signature design opportunities, and owner-operators the chance to further customize equipment.

The new MCL2300, MCL20, and MCL16T marker/clearance lights are geometrically shaped so customers can choose between round, oval and rectangular designs. They offer an increased light size while fitting into a standard 3/4-inch hole, the company says.

“We are continuing to set the pace, providing diverse shapes and sizes to differentiate and elevate our customers’ vehicles, all while keeping the installation process uncomplicated,” said Dustin Smith, vice-president of sales for Optronics.

The PC-rated lamps can be used as combination side marker and front or rear clearance lights when mounted on an angle. The geometric optics spread light for a brighter appearance, enhancing the look of any vehicle, the company says.

The three-diode MCL2300 lamp boasts a rectangular design measuring 2.31 inches wide, 1.43 inches tall and 0.64 inches thick. The three-diode MCL20 is an oval marker/clearance light measuring 1.875-inches wide, 1.5 inches tall, and 0.5 inches thick. The single-diode MCL16T is a 1.25-inch-diameter round light with a 1.31-inch profile, and features a fluted lens pattern. All three lamps come hard-wired and are available in bulk and polypack packaging.

“The lights are versatile and easily installed without any need for retooling, maintaining the same manufacturing process that our OEMs are accustomed to,” added Michael Whitman, director of production management for Optronics. “Despite the different shapes, they still fit into the 3/4-inch cutout hole that’s become the industry norm, offering an effortless original equipment upgrade or an aftermarket replacement option.”
