New generation lights have ‘something for everyone’

Peterson has announced a new generation of its classic 36-diode Piranha LED lights.

It has combined its classic look with new-age circuitry and automated manufacturing to create two new lines of lighting. The first is the 17R-36 Stop/Turn/Tail light, with the second being the 817A-36 Park/Turn light. The new models take Peterson’s best-selling four-inch round styling and add the durability of modern lighting technology.

“These newly redesigned lights offer something for everyone,” said Mark Assenmacher, marketing director at Peterson. “Customers can now choose the classic look and owner-operator appeal of Peterson’s traditional 36-diode LED light while still getting all of our latest features: integrated AMP connector, insert-molded terminals for the ultimate environmental seal, and the most efficient surface-mount diodes available.”

The models are available as both red-lensed S/T/T lights and amber-lensed Park/Turn signal lights. Illumination is created through 36 bright white diodes. Both models feature an operating range of 9-16 volts, with a design that provides consistent light output over the entire voltage range.

Available in either grommet- or flange-mount design, the new lights do not require “Top” positioning to meet FMVSS 108 standards. The amber version meets DOT requirements for front and rear turn signal, parking lamp, sidemarker and clearance light.
