Supernova series
January 22, 2012
| by: Overdrive Staff
Grote Industries’ Supernova lighting series has added integrated flange four-inch stop/tail/turn and dual system back-up lamps to its collection. The LED light has a cushioning gasket seal to keep out water and debris, and a lens-to-housing seal that reduces moisture and component corrosion. The flange design mounts directly onto the vehicle, and each lamp features concise potting that holds the lamp’s solid-state circuit board. The hard-coated polycarbonate housings and acrylic lenses are durable and help protect the technologically advanced LED lights, illuminating 200 milliseconds faster than other bulbs.
