18" Signature Red LED Identification Light Bar – 9 SMD LEDs
Three Distinct Light Blocks. Nine Red LEDs. One Signature Look.
Kaper II's 18" Signature Red LED Identification Light Bar combines a distinctive three-block lighting arrangement with modern SMD LED technology in a streamlined identification-light assembly.
Featuring nine red SMD LEDs arranged in three separate blocks of three, this fixture provides a recognizable three-group red illumination pattern for compatible commercial trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles, and specialty equipment.
Its 18-inch nominal length and surface/screw-mount configuration make it a practical option for manufacturers and installers evaluating rear identification lighting solutions.

Nine SMD LEDs in Three Blocks
The defining feature of this Signature identification bar is its three-block lighting arrangement.
Each block contains three SMD LEDs, creating a total of nine LEDs across the assembly.
This configuration provides a visually distinct three-group lighting pattern rather than a single uninterrupted illuminated strip.
SMD technology refers to LEDs designed for mounting directly onto a circuit board, supporting compact lighting assemblies.
Actual light output and optical performance depend on the complete fixture design rather than diode count alone.
Signature Identification Bar Design
The Signature design brings three distinct illuminated sections together in an 18-inch bar.
For manufacturers and vehicle owners, the grouped arrangement provides a recognizable visual format while consolidating the lighting elements into one assembly.
The bar's precise overall dimensions and installation requirements should be verified against the product drawing.
Red Identification Lighting
Red identification lamps are commonly used at the rear of qualifying wider vehicles, including certain trucks and trailers.
Identification lamps are different from stop, turn, and tail lamps and should not be represented as performing those functions unless separately specified and approved.
For regulated on-road applications, the lamp's approval, mounting position, spacing, and orientation must be checked against the applicable requirements.
Surface/Screw-Mount Installation
The surface/screw-mount configuration allows the bar to be attached to a compatible vehicle mounting surface.
This makes it an option for vehicle manufacturers and installers who prefer a screw-mounted assembly.
Exact fastener requirements, mounting-hole spacing, sealing provisions, and installation instructions should be confirmed before installation.
LED Technology for Vehicle Applications
The Signature identification bar uses solid-state LED lighting rather than traditional incandescent bulbs.
LED technology eliminates the conventional filament and is commonly selected for modern vehicle lighting assemblies.
Specific electrical efficiency, lifespan, brightness, and environmental ratings depend on the exact product specifications.
Potential Applications
Commercial Trucks: Rear identification lighting for qualifying commercial vehicle applications.
Cargo and Utility Trailers: A grouped red LED identification-light option for compatible trailers.
RVs and Motorhomes: Exterior identification lighting for qualifying recreational vehicles.
Specialty Vehicle Bodies: A surface-mounted red identification bar for compatible equipment and service vehicles.
OEM Manufacturing: A Signature-series lighting option for manufacturers specifying an 18-inch, nine-diode, three-block design.
Installation Considerations
Before installation, confirm the electrical system voltage, wiring configuration, polarity, mounting-hole spacing, sealing requirements, and approved installation position.
Where three rear identification lamps are legally required, verify that the exact bar meets the applicable FMVSS 108 and SAE requirements, including lamp spacing and optical performance.
Important: The supplied product description confirms the Signature identification-light-bar designation, 18-inch nominal length, red illumination, nine SMD LEDs arranged in three blocks of three, and surface/screw-mount configuration. Additional electrical, material, dimensional, and compliance specifications require verification.
