LEDs’ solid construction & intense light offer longer life & greater visibility

While Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are brighter than incandescent bulbs, their intensity is only the beginning. In fact, solid construction may be LEDs’ best asset. Unlike traditional bulbs, there is no filament to break, and they draw less current.

INLINE LED lamps are designed to resist corrosion, moisture, shock and vibration, and physical damage by encapsulating all electronic components in protective epoxy. Direct-to-pin soldered circuit boards assure water-tight connections in harsh environments. Sealed polycarbonate lenses and housings resist both weather and physical damage.

And speaking of weather – specifically bad weather – now that winter is fast approaching, make sure to keep an eye on your lighting system or you may end up asking yourself why your truck’s connectors are corroded. How can you prevent this?

  • Corrosion found in the lighting system is typically caused by road salt, wet climate, air saturated by salt water or routine vehicle washing. Connectors, bulb sockets, electrical contacts, wiring, circuit switches and junction boxes are all areas at risk.
  • Minimizing or eliminating corrosion is easy when using both sealed lighting and harness systems made by the same manufacturer. Lamps with a sealed lens and housing eliminate corrosion from penetrating within the lamp.
