The 4-inch round clear reverse light with the company's Boardfree technology and nine diodes comes in either flange- or grommet-mount and is designed to be mounted in any direction. Constructed of ABS and acrylic ma- terial, the lights are engineered for added durability and to resist impact, corrosion, harsh chemicals and UV exposure. The ¾-inch round hard-wired lights, suited for locations where space is restricted, include their correlating mounting grommet and are constructed with a polycarbonate lens and a sealed housing to help protect the three diodes inside from contaminants and moisture.
