Hey guys, Kevin here with etrailer. And today, I'm gonna be showing you how to install the Optronics Off-road LED light bar here on our enclosed trailer. So if you're off-roading or maybe you have an enclosed trailer, just like our neighbor does today, you're gonna need a whole lot of visibility. To help with that, this LED light bar has two rows of 20 LEDs each to help give you optimal visibility. It has a super easy adjustment. All you have to do, is on the sides there's gonna be two bolts that you can easily tighten down or loosen, and then slowly turn your light exactly how you need it.

For ours today, our neighbor needed it inside of his trailer, instead of outside like you normally would because he's having a in. He needs a whole lot of visibility right here at the entrance of the trailer. So what I've done so far is I've actually tilted it down so that he can see it. And then all we have to simply do is just tighten down our bolts with the provided Allen key or to lock that in place. That way, when you're rolling around, maybe you're hitting bumpy roads or if you're off-roading with it, you know it's gonna stay exactly where you need it and not shift.

As you can see on the back here, there's these channeled fins on the back of the housing to let heat dissipate quickly so that your LEDs have optimal performance. So the actual housing around the lights is a black powder-coated die cast aluminum which is gonna help resist any rust and corrosion that you might have if this is sitting outside, in the rain, or if you're out mudding, off-roading, doing any kind of outdoor activities. The lens here is made of a polycarbonate which is also impact-resistant, which means that if a rock comes up and hits that you're not gonna have to worry about it shattering or cracking, like you would if it was typical glass. With this whole housing actually being waterproof, you also don't have to worry about any water getting in and ruining any of the wiring or the LEDs itself. Because the system is compatible with both 12-volt and 24-volt electrical systems, it makes it super versatile so that you can use it with our enclosed trailer that we have today.

Maybe you wanna put it on the outside of a work trailer just so you have some more light when you're doing any construction work or anything like that, or if you are putting it on a jeep 'cause you're off-roading or even just on your truck if you want to have extra visibility, maybe you drive through country roads and just your headlights aren't really cutting it. So this is where this light will definitely come in handy and give you better visibility. So this light bar is only going to come with the little wiring harness that comes off and then the actual brackets itself and the bolts to mount this onto whatever kind of application you have for it. Because of that, if you do want to run additional wiring, you are going to need to supply that yourself, or a switch if you wanna be able to turn it on and off, like we did today here on our enclosed trailer. I just threw on a little toggle switch that we could just easily press on and off for our light bar.

Depending on your application, this can be a very easy install. Honestly, with us, I was running it straight to another light that had already had wire available within the same vicinity. So it really wasn't too hard to tie right into it. Obviously, if you're running this further down a trailer, maybe through a car, something like that where you have to spend more time running the wiring, that's gonna be your hardest part, but as far as hooking up to the actual light itself and installing it, it's super simple. Now that we've gone over some of the features of this light bar, let's go ahead and show you how we installed it. To begin our installation, we're gonna go ahead and put our brackets on. As you can see, you could kind of put this either way just 'cause there's the teeth on here. But what you actually wanna do is make sure that you're putting it with this ring that kind of protrudes out into this slot right here instead of doing it that way. Obviously, if you absolutely had to, just because of your situation for whatever application you're trying to put it on, you could just 'cause it has the teeth. It's just not gonna be as great without that little ring kind of setting in there holding it in place. But I'm gonna go ahead and we're gonna take the smaller bolt that comes with your kit. We're gonna use our lock washer and our regular washer. We're gonna just hand tighten this down for the time being. So we get this exactly where we want it for our mounting. So there's gonna be two way
