Peterson’s newest DOT light is PC-rated
Dallas, Texas – August 4, 2008 — Peterson Manufacturing has expanded its line of single-diode Piranha LED clearance/sidemarker lights with a PC-rated model: the 177 Series DOT Light. All lights in the DOT line approximate the size of those famous little DOTS gum drops – about �-in. in diameter – from which comes their “DOT” nickname.
What is unique about the new 177 Series is its PC rating, the SAE designation for a lamp whose specialized optics can produce a light-spread spanning 180 degrees, the maker said. Properly mounted at a 45-degree angle, the 177 model is actually two lights in one—providing both clearance and sidemarker functions.
Jim Rowden, Peterson Vice President Engineering, states that one of the new light’s best features is its rotationally symmetric design. “Unlike most competitive lights, the 177 requires no top-mount to assure correct orientation during installation. The optics work in any position, which makes for a faster, easier install.”
Available in both red and amber versions, the 177 Series offers a low-profile design, an operating range of just 8-16 volts, hard-wired toughness against corrosion and lamp failure, and famous Piranha LED quality throughout. Accessory black rubber grommets that fit any 3/4-in. hole are purchased separately.
