Optronics MCL40 LED Rectangular Marker / Clearance Light – Red or Amber – 4" Surface Mount
...
false
The Optronics MCL40 LED Rectangular Marker Light is a compact, high-visibility LED marker and clearance light designed for trailers, trucks, RVs, and utility vehicles. With its 4" x 1.5" rectangular profile and standard 3" mounting centers, it serves as an easy upgrade or replacement for many common trailer marker lights.
This durable LED marker light is available in two lens color options to meet DOT trailer lighting requirements:
-
Red Marker Light – typically used for rear or side rear clearance lighting
-
Amber Marker Light – typically used for front or side front clearance lighting
Both versions feature a rugged surface-mount white base with a snap-on replaceable lens, making installation and service quick and simple.
The light contains two bright LEDs that provide excellent visibility while drawing very little power from your trailer’s 12-volt electrical system. A built-in reflex reflector eliminates the need for a separate reflector, helping keep your trailer DOT compliant.
Constructed with a durable acrylic lens and ABS housing, the MCL40 is sonically sealed to protect the electronics from water, road debris, and vibration.
Available Variants
| Variant | Lens Color | Typical Trailer Location |
|---|---|---|
| MCL40RB | Red | Rear / rear side marker light |
| MCL40AB | Amber | Front / front side marker light |
Both variants share the same housing, mounting pattern, and wiring configuration.
