FAQ about Position Lights
Position lights are lamps used to make vehicles visible to other road users, especially when driving in darkness or low-light conditions. On tractors and agricultural machinery, position lights are essential for increasing visibility on roads, fields, and worksites. They indicate the vehicle’s width and position, helping to reduce the risk of accidents.
Position lights come in various types and colors depending on legal requirements and usage. The most common are white or amber front lights and red rear lights. Many position lights are now LED-based, as they offer a long lifespan, low energy consumption, and better durability compared to traditional incandescent bulbs.
To choose the right position lights, ensure they comply with legal requirements for color, placement, and brightness in your region, especially if the vehicle is used on public roads. LED position lights are recommended for their durability and light quality. Select a light source with the correct color (white or amber for the front and red for the rear) and consider the IP rating (dust and water resistance) to ensure the lights withstand harsh working environments.
