TULSA, Okla., USA — Optronics International, a leading manufacturer and supplier of heavy-duty LED vehicle lighting, announced another expansion of its GloLight product line with the introduction of its new STL112 six-inch oval and STL113 four-inch round LED stop, tail, turn lamps and its E-rated STL175 oval mid-ship turn and intermediate marker lamp. While different in design and function, the lamps all share the smooth, glowing outer band that gives the broadening family of GloLight lamps their signature appearance.
The new STL112 six-inch oval and STL113 four-inch round LED stop, tail, turn lamps have been designed with distinctive mirrored reflectors that give the core of the lamps a visual snap while optimizing their light output. The STL113 four-inch round lamps feature a unique, starburst light pattern emanating from the center of the lamp.
“The marketplace response to our GloLight line has been nothing short of astonishing,” Brett Johnson, president and CEO of Optronics International, said. “A full 80 percent of the fleet trials we now have underway include GloLight lamps, and we expect the high-style four-inch round and six-inch oval stop, tail, turn lamps to be particularly popular among independent owner-operators.”
Optronics’ new six-inch oval mid-ship turn signal and intermediate marker lamp completes the line by putting GloLight technology where it’s never been before. With the addition of the new lamps, trailers can have a GloLight lamp in virtually every position on the vehicle.
The new 10-diode STL175 mid-ship lamp is SAE E-compliant and meets all California requirements for mid-ship turn signals on vehicles measuring 30 feet or longer. Like other GloLight lamps, its outer ring has a smooth glow when operating in its standard function as a marker lamp. When the lamp’s turn signal function is in operation, the LEDs in the center of the lamp brightly illuminate intermittently to indicate the driver’s intentions.
“Since the introduction of the first GloLight product in 2012, we’ve been working toward a total GloLight vehicle offering,” Marcus Hester, vice president of sales and marketing for Optronics International, said. “Our new 10-diode mid-ship turn signal and intermediate marker lamp does that, and its California E-rating makes it a practical choice for OEMs, fleets and independent owner-operators alike.”
Optronics has made a commitment to designing and manufacturing corrosion-resistant LED lighting using surface-mount device (SMD) technology. The company’s goal is to achieve 100 percent SMD-based manufacturing throughout its entire LED product line.
SMD design keeps Optronics lamps working by providing superior protection against moisture, shock and vibration. The new STL112 six-inch oval and STL113 four-inch round LED stop, tail, turn lamps and E-rated STL175 oval mid-ship turn and intermediate marker lamps are fully covered by Optronics’ no-hassle lifetime warranty.
The new lamps are just as rugged on the exterior, with sonically welded polycarbonate lenses and housings. The lamps meet all FMVSS 108 photometric requirements for visibility and safety. The STL112 six-inch oval and STL113 four-inch round LED stop, tail, turn lamps are available with standard PL-3 connectors. The STL175 oval mid-ship turn and intermediate marker lamp come with weather tight termination.
