Truck-Lite has introduced single-diode technology to its line of LED back-up lamps. The new 66 Series oval lamp is available with grommet and built-in flange mounts.

The firm uses its specially customized Advanced Optics Design software to provide a more homogenous-appearing light pattern, similar to an incandescent lamp. The appearance of the back-up lamp looks like a traditional incandescent lamp, making it less prone to theft but still providing all the benefits of LED technology. These include reliability, brighter whiter light, and improved resistance to shock and vibration. In most cases, the single-diode back-up lamp will never need replacement.

The 66 Series LED back-up lamp meets photometric specifications when mounted vertically and exceeds DOT requirements and SAE standards for highway lighting. This two-lamp system is ideal for body market or trailer applications. All electronics, including the diode, are sealed in epoxy to withstand road shock and vibration and prevent moisture from reaching the circuits. The lamp uses Truck-Lite's proprietary “Fit N' Forget” connection for increased corrosion resistance and carries the firm's lifetime warranty.
