Generally, these connectors plug directly into the light or are hardwired into your commercial vehicle’s electrical system via a standard pigtail. Check the accessories section of the light you purchase to see what you need for installation.

Some solids are also quite dangerous. For one, old film and photographic negatives are commonly made from cellulose nitrate. Not only does this catch fire easily, it can also spontaneously combust due to degradation of the films. These are particularly dangerous as they’re difficult to quench. Another flammable solid is picrate salt, which is commonly used to create explosives but is also used in dye manufacturing and laboratories. The material is very sensitive and reacts to heat, shock and friction.

FMVSS 108 also outlines the lighting requirements for commercial semi-trucks and trailers. Here are some essential requirements for commercial truck and trailer lights:

Hooking up your truck and trailer lights will depend on the type and function of the light and which connector it uses. Some of the most common are the PL-3 (3-Pin), PL-10 (2-Pin), bullet connectors, and weathertight AMP-style connectors.

Flammable and combustible liquids ignite automatically when they reach a certain temperature.  While both require safe handling, the difference between flammable and combustible liquids is the flashpoint (flashpoints are the lowest temperature at which the material gives off enough vapour to start burning.) Link>> Flammable liquids have a flashpoint of below 37.8° Celsius (100°F) while combustibles have a flashpoint between 37.8° Celsius (100°F) and 93.3°C (200°F). To prevent such liquids from endangering your work place, you should check the flashpoint of each liquid entering your work area and ensure to store them in an appropriate flammable storage cabinet. Examples of flammable liquids include common materials such as petrol, paints, paint thinners and alcohols.

Some chemicals have explosive properties that can be activated by heat, friction or shock. Touch sensitive chemicals are particularly dangerous, as they can be activated simply by brushing against the container. These chemicals can naturally occur or be specifically manufactured for this property. The danger associated with these can also increase as the chemicals degrade over time and so particular care should be taken when storing older chemical stock. Compounds at risk of this include those containing acetylides, azides, oxonides, haloamine and nitoso.

For semi-truck and trailer lights, PC-Rated stands for Photometrically Certified. This means the light has a viewable beam of 180 degrees. When properly mounted PC-Rated lights cover the front+side or back+side of a trailer. If you want a single light to meet clearance and side marker light requirements, look for a PC-rated LED light.

Some chemicals spontaneously evolve oxygen at room temperature or with slight heating. This release of oxygen can accelerate a fire, increasing the possibility of damage to your property. To reduce the threat of potential accidents, oxidising chemicals should be contained in a secure flammable storage cabinet. As some oxidisers can mix with other chemicals to cause a combustion, they should be stored in separate areas. Examples of oxidising chemicals include hydrogen peroxide, concentrated Nitric acid and bleach.

Flammable gases will burn when mixed with an oxidant, such as air, and when provided with an ignition source. These can be dangerous, even when stored in sealed containers, as small quantities of escaping gas can form an ignition mixture in favourable conditions. This can potentially lead to fire or explosions. Examples of flammable gases include propane, acetylene, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, natural gas and methane.

Commercial truck and trailer lights will typically fall into one of two categories for installation mounting: recessed and surface.

Note that these requirements are subject to change, and the commercial vehicle operator is responsible for ensuring that their vehicle's lighting complies with all applicable FMVSS regulations.

Energy-efficient LED lighting is here and is here to stay. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) were once only used as indicator lights on small electronics and circuit boards. Today, LED lights are everywhere, from flashlights to factories. Given the many benefits of LED lights, it is no wonder why they have become a fixture in our lives at home, at work, and on the road.

Here are the top 5 reasons why switching to LED commercial truck and trailer lights is a wise investment, whether you are an owner-operator with a single semi-truck or manage a commercial fleet.

We’ve created a list of the different types of flammable substances which should always be stored within a flammables cabinet, to avoid danger to employees or the environment.

Flammable and combustible substances include liquids, gases and solid forms. They are easily ignited materials, and so should be stored carefully, ideally in a flammables cabinet. Due to the risk involved, minimum guidelines for storing flammable substances were set in place in the Dangerous Substances and Explosives Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR). This requires businesses using dangerous substances to take all possible measures to protect their workers and workspace.

Clearance lights, also known as marker or identification lights, are small auxiliary lights mounted on the upper edges of a semi-truck or trailer cab. They are typically amber or red and provide additional visibility to the vehicle, especially when driving in low-light conditions or at night.

One strongly advised safety measure is a flammable storage cabinet. Flammable storage cabinets are made from flame/fire-proof materials which significantly reduces risk.

P2 is the minimum FMVSS-108 standard for clearance, side marker, or identification lights. These traditional lights produce a 90-degree beam from the center, providing light for a single vehicle area. Use two P2-rated LED lights to meet the clearance and side marker light requirements.

We have an assortment of optional LED lights, from interior trailer and vehicle area lights to weatherproof LED strip lights, to keep your rig illuminated inside and out and allow vehicle customization for owner-operators.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an agency in the United States that establishes vehicle safety regulations. One of these regulations is the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 (FMVSS 108), which governs the lighting, signaling, and reflective equipment used in cars. This standard ensures all vehicles have the proper lighting and signaling systems to promote safety for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. These regulations hold manufacturers to a high standard of safety and quality in their products, which ultimately helps to prevent accidents and protect lives.

Popular clearance light sizes include 3/4", 2", and 2-1/2" round lights. Other common shapes are bullseye, beehive, and oblong.

So, if you're considering switching your entire fleet or just one truck or trailer to LED lights, we've got you covered. Our team knows their stuff, and we have all the products you need to make the switch today. Contact us here.

If you manage a commercial vehicle fleet or your own rig, you will surely benefit from the added safety, efficiency, and performance of an upgrade to LED lights. While we focused primarily on semi-trucks and enclosed trailers, these lights work just as well as LED lights for flatbed trailers, dump trucks, box trucks, Class A, B, and C motorhomes, and other commercial vehicles.

We have high-quality LED lights that are perfect for semi-trucks and trailers, built to handle the extremes of long-distance trucking. Plus, they consume less energy and improve performance, reducing strain on your electrical system and other accessories– generating less heat and reducing the risk of heat-related failures.

In general, however, in most jurisdictions, a trailer is required to have brake lights and other functioning lights when being towed on public roads to ensure the trailer is visible to other drivers and the operator can indicate its movements.

Clearance lights are separate from semi-truck tail lights, headlights, and turn signals. These lights are typically on an independent circuit of the vehicle's electrical system powered by the vehicle's battery. Energy-efficient LED lights are ideal for clearance and marker lights and help extend the life of your truck battery.

The law requires semi-truck clearance lights in many jurisdictions. They are typically spaced evenly across the top of the vehicle's cab or trailer and help other drivers determine the vehicle's size and shape and the direction of travel. In addition, they can help alert other drivers to a wide or oversized load.
