LED marker lights

An LED marker light is a low-power lamp that marks the width and length of a tractor, trailer or implement to other road users, using light-emitting diodes in a sealed housing. Marker lights show white to the front, amber to the side and red to the rear, and UK regulations require front position lamps on trailers over 1.6 metres wide and side markers on long trailers and combinations. This range lists 507 LED marker lights from Hella and Truck-Lite in 12V, 24V and multivolt versions, in surface, recessed, bracket and pole mounts.

LED marker light types by position

Front position lamps show white and mount on the front corners of a trailer or the mudguards of a tractor. Side marker lamps show amber and sit along the length of a trailer, with no gap over 3 metres between them and a lamp within 1 metre of the rear on trailers that need them. Rear position lamps show red and sit at the rear corners. End-outline marker lamps combine white and red in one unit for the top corners of a high trailer. The amber marker lights page lists side markers on their own. Each product page states the colour, the approval mark and the mount.

Why LED marker lights replace bulb markers

An LED marker light draws 0.05A to 0.1A against 0.4A for a 5W bulb marker, so a trailer with twelve markers draws under 1A instead of 5A through the seven-pin plug. LED markers last more than 20,000 hours and survive the vibration that breaks bulb filaments on a rutted headland. Sealed IP67 housings with moulded cables keep water out of the lamp and the connection. Bulb markers and complete outline kits remain in the full marker lights range, and LED rear lights complete the rear of the trailer.
