Optronics’ anti-theft lighting system

Feb 16, 2015

Optronics’ LampLock Anti-Theft Lighting System is integrated into four-inch round stop/tail/turn lamps and three-quarter-inch marker lamps and is designed to make the lamps virtually impossible to steal without destroying them. The system is comprised of a single-diode LED lamp, an integrated anti-theft ring and a foam rubber gasket; for the four-inch round lamp, an available locking PL-3 receptacle grips the connector plug body.
