Thread: LED tail lights and Trailer ADRs

The adgi's at work use a combo brake/blinker/tail LED,,
its about 6"X4",,,

bloody exy though,,,

Welcome to Led Technologies Pty. Ltd.

some of those combo lamps are pretty small

The NSW RTA site has guidelines for trailer builders. I've downloaded it in the past.

I think this may be what you want:-

That’s exactly what he wants. Remember that this is the national guidelines and the state is entitled to enforce tighter regulations. I have just recently gone through these with the QLD regs and fortunately this time QLD have pretty much gone along with nothing to add.

As for lights – most manufacturers will have their product labelled “ADR approved” or “ADR Pending” in their catalogues so if you stick to one of those you’ll be right – there are a lot of LED units that are not approved.

Guidelines are not enforcable by State's unless the state has legislatively implemented them.

Much like the EU regulations must be adopted by member countries before they are enforcable in that country.

I am sure you can use the strip LED lights that are a combination blinker brake light, they are very bright



If they can deliver trailers new with these lights



Any LED should suffice

there is a minimum standard for the size of the lights.....

Im not sure if those long skinny ones will be suitable as primary lights but would be accepted as secondaries.
