Britax PMG launch rear combination lamp
The Britax L14.100 series is a new range of 11 options of LED rear combination lamps, designed to provide an easy to fit, quality LED lighting solution for all types of semi-trailers, tankers, bulk powder carriers and specialist application trailers.
The two bolt-fixing lamp provides most of the mandatory functions required on a modern trailer.
The L14.100 series is suitable for retro fitting, where customers who want to convert trailers to LED and use the classically styled Ø140mm ‘hamburger’ type lamp. With the exclusive Britax option, only one lamp per side is needed, instead of the traditional three.
LED mandatory function lamps provide a high power lighting alternative to bulbs and offer instantaneous brake light illumination, very low current consumption and greater resistance to vibration. Typical life expectancy is around 100,000h.
An LED lamp typically draws 1.8–2.5 watts, compared to 21 watts for a normal filament bulb. The lower power consumption may not be detectable by certain vehicle indicator flasher units, thereby resulting in a false bulb failure warning, even though the lamp is operating normally. This problem can be overcome by fitting a Britax ‘smart load device’ that will simulate the power used by a filament bulb direction indicator.
