PYLE-NATIONAL BACKUP LIGHT READY FOR RELEASE

Post by Trainman4602 »

The MERCER (PYLE-NATIONAL) backup light is ready for release. It comes ready to install on the tender. It is powder coated semi gloss black and is wired for 12Volts. It features the MERCER true magnification Fresnel lens and a led with printed circuit board and is tapped to accept a 3/16-40 MTP tubing. It is wired with Teflon coated 24ga wire.

I have twenty sets of castings and parts ready to assemble.

The price of the backup light will be $160.00 with shipping included to anywhere in the 48 states. Hawaii and Alaska and Foreign shipping extra.

If you want a light PM me your request.

Here are some pictures of the first light. I will be making a video on it and some other products soon.

Hi Dave,
Very nice light.

Btw, the HO guys are using an amber colored led for older headlights.
Wonder if something similar is available that you could use?

Brian I looked into that and tried several different leds but this is a warm led and very closely looks like an incandescent bulb. The video will show that clearly.
