Brake Light (red)

Red Color Brake Light  is a critical safety component in any vehicle, designed to alert other drivers when a car is slowing down or coming to a stop. Typically mounted at the rear of the vehicle, it activates whenever the brake pedal is pressed, providing a clear, immediate signal to following traffic. 

Modern brake lights may use incandescent bulbs, halogen lights, or energy-efficient LEDs. LED brake lights are especially popular due to their brightness, longevity, and faster illumination times, which can provide a crucial fraction of a second more reaction time for drivers behind.

Specifications:

• Color: Bright red (meets SAE and DOT standards)

• Voltage: 12V DC (standard for most vehicles)

• Power: Typically 5W–21W per bulb (LEDs may use less)

• Housing: Weatherproof casing, often rated IP65 or higher

• Mounting Type: Surface or flush mount, often using screws or clips

• Lifespan: LED lights can last 30,000 to 50,000 hours

• Compatibility: Available in universal sizes or vehicle-specific models

• Compliance: Must meet ECE, SAE, or DOT regulations

Many brake lights also incorporate a center high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL), improving visibility to drivers in taller vehicles. When choosing a replacement, it's important to match the bulb type, socket, and size with your vehicle’s make and model.
