Truck-Lite Unveils the ‘BrightFuture LED Initiative’ Showcasing Its Commitment to a More Sustainable Future

Erie, PA – March 11, 2025 – Truck-Lite, a leading name in commercial vehicle lighting solutions, isexcited to announce the launch of its ‘BrightFuture LED Initiative’. This ambitious program marks asignificant commitment focused on converting older technology products to the more sustainable LED technology.

The ‘BrightFuture LED Initiative’ will deliver numerous benefits to the trucking industry and the environment:

•          Enhanced Safety: LED lighting provides superior brightness and improved visibility, significantly reducing driver fatigue and risk of accidents while enhancing driving conditions in all environments.
•          Increased Durability: LED lights are engineered to endure the tough conditions of the road, including vibrations, shocks, and extreme temperatures, ensuring longer-lasting performance.
•          Energy Efficiency: LEDs are more efficient compared to incandescent bulbs, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced strain on a vehicle’s electrical system.
•          Extended Lifespan: LEDs have a longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs, reducing the frequency of replacements, thereby cutting maintenance costs and vehicle downtime.
•         Sustainability Benefits: LEDs are made from recyclable, non-toxic materials and can be recycled, unlike incandescent bulbs where the recyclable material amount is too small and too difficult to separate. The ability to recycle LEDs can minimize the release of hazardous substances into environment, protecting ecosystems and lowering our carbon footprint.

“We are thrilled to introduce the ‘BrightFuture LED Initiative’ as a key step in our ongoing efforts to innovate and improve the safety and efficiency of our products,” said Jon Stineman, President at Truck-Lite. “This initiative shows our dedication to not only advancing technology but also fostering a more sustainable future for the industry”

One of Truck-Lite’s first transitioning products is the 14 Series 2”x3” Marker & Clearance Light. The original incandescent 14 Series light (14200R & 14200Y) was very popular among utility & recreational trailers, and other body market applications and its upgrade to LED do not disappoint. New LED part numbers include: 1450 (red) & 1450A (yellow).

The ‘BrightFuture LED Initiative’ also showcases Truck-Lite sustainability efforts, increasing the amount of scrap the company is able to recycle versus put into the landfill. Truck-Lite LED Lighting scrap is sent to a local metal and plastics recycling facility where the individual components are separated, cut, crushed and sorted into repurposed material for other uses.
