Lumen® - Black/Smoke Spare Tire LED 3rd Brake Light

With the number of cell phone addicted, inattentive drivers reaching epidemic proportions, you need as much help as possible to get the attention of those who are perpetually distracted while behind the wheel, especially the ones behind you. The ones in front of you are generally easy to spot, driving 10mph below the speed limit and weaving back and forth as they engulf themselves in texting or the latest cat videos, so you can avoid them. But you may not find out that one is behind you until it's too late and their inattention results in a collision and expensive damage to your SUV. You have a much better chance of preserving your well-being and your cherished hauler if it's equipped with the Lumen Spare Tire LED 3rd Brake Light. The superior illumination provided by its 85 individual red LEDs arranged in a large 13 3/4" diameter ring will get the attention of the most absent-minded motorists, increasing your driving safety.

The Lumen LED spare tire 3rd brake light is an especially smart choice if you've installed larger tires and rims, as the increased diameter spare could make the OE 3rd brake light difficult or impossible to see. Plus, the dazzling glow from the Lumen light that seems to appear out of nowhere from behind the smoke lens and through the spokes of your spare rim, will draw the attention of enthusiasts to your wheel choice and give your SUV a distinctive overall appearance. Lumen has equipped this 3rd brake light with LEDs not just for brightness and style but also because of their many other benefits. LEDs are virtually unaffected by shock and vibration, for reliable illumination, an important consideration for vehicles traversing rugged terrain, and with an expected lifespan of 50,000 hours or more, you can depend on your light for many years to come. LEDs are particularly appropriate for a 3rd brake light application because of their faster rise time. They light up 0.2 seconds faster than incandescent bulbs, which may not sound like much, but when you consider that at 60 mph a car travels 88 ft. in one second, that time can give the driver behind almost 20 ft. of additional stopping distance - extra road that can be the difference between braking in time and an unfortunate collision.

Please check your state regulations to make sure whether smoke lights are street-legal. Their usage may be life-threatening if used on roads or highways.

Installation of the Lumen LED spare tire 3rd brake light is simple: remove the spare tire and position the light over the tire carrier studs. It's secured in place when the spare is reinstalled.
