Signature 12" Red LED S/T/I Light – 18 SMD, Smoked Lens, 3 Bare Wires
18 Red SMD LEDs. Smoked Lens. Surface/Screw Mount. Three Bare-Wire Leads.
Add distinctive exterior LED lighting to compatible commercial trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles, and specialty vehicles with Kaper II's Signature 12" Red LED S/T/I Light.
Featuring eighteen surface-mounted device (SMD) LEDs, red illumination, and an elongated nominal 12-inch profile, this lamp combines modern LED technology with the recognizable styling of Kaper II's Signature Series.
Its smoked lens provides a darker appearance when unlit, while the LEDs deliver the specified red illumination during operation.
The lamp features a surface/screw-mount configuration and three bare-wire leads for connection to compatible vehicle electrical systems.
This model carries the manufacturer's S/T/I designation. The exact functions represented by that designation and the operating behavior of the individual leads should be confirmed against the product's technical documentation.

Signature Series Design
Kaper II's Signature Series offers distinctive lighting configurations for commercial and recreational vehicles.
This model features a nominal 12-inch profile that provides an elongated appearance compared with smaller conventional vehicle lamps.
The combination of red illumination and smoked-lens styling can complement compatible vehicle exterior designs.
Eighteen SMD LEDs
The lamp incorporates eighteen SMD LEDs.
Surface-mounted device technology uses compact LED components installed on a circuit board.
The eighteen-diode configuration is an important identifying specification when comparing this model with other Signature Series lighting products.
LED count alone does not establish brightness, wattage, electrical consumption, or regulatory compliance.
Those characteristics depend on the complete electrical and optical design and should be verified through manufacturer documentation.
Smoked Lens with Red Illumination
One of this lamp's defining characteristics is its smoked lens.
The smoked finish provides a darker appearance when the lamp is not illuminated, offering a styling alternative to traditional red-lens and clear-lens configurations.
When activated, the LEDs provide red illumination.
The smoked lens does not change the specified illumination color.
For catalog accuracy, lens color and illumination color should remain separate product attributes.
S/T/I Lighting Designation
This lamp is identified by the manufacturer's S/T/I designation.
Because the full meaning of S/T/I has not been supplied, the catalog should retain the designation rather than automatically describing the lamp as a stop/turn/tail or other multifunction light.
The exact supported lighting functions, operating modes, and approved mounting positions should be confirmed against the manufacturer's specification sheet.
This is particularly important for OEM installations where lighting functions must correspond to the vehicle's electrical system and applicable regulations.
Three Bare-Wire Leads
This version includes three bare-wire leads.
Unlike a lamp supplied with a molded plug or preattached connector, the bare-wire configuration provides unterminated conductors for connection to a compatible vehicle wiring harness.
This may be useful in qualifying OEM assembly operations or replacement installations that require direct wiring connections.
However, the presence of three leads does not establish their individual electrical functions.
The supplied description does not specify wire colors, polarity, ground configuration, voltage, or whether the lamp supports multiple illumination modes.
Installers should consult the manufacturer's wiring diagram before connecting the lamp.
Surface/Screw-Mount Installation
The lamp is identified as surface/screw-mounted.
This configuration indicates that the lamp is intended to mount against a compatible vehicle surface using a screw-secured installation method.
The supplied description does not establish the exact fastener type, number of mounting holes, mounting-hole spacing, or whether mounting hardware is included.
These details should be verified against the manufacturer's installation drawing.
Potential Applications
Commercial Trucks: Red LED lighting for compatible vehicle positions where the specified S/T/I functions are approved.
Trailers: Lighting installations requiring the appropriate electrical configuration and manufacturer-defined functions.
RVs and Motorhomes: Exterior red LED lighting for qualifying recreational vehicle applications.
Specialty Vehicles: Lighting for compatible utility, service, and custom-built vehicles.
OEM Vehicle Manufacturers: A potential component for vehicle assembly programs specifying a 12-inch Signature lamp with three bare-wire leads.
Installation Considerations
Before installation, verify the lamp's operating voltage, individual wire functions, polarity, mounting dimensions, and approved lighting applications.
Confirm that the vehicle's wiring system is compatible with the three bare-wire leads.
Use appropriate electrical connections and protect the completed wiring against moisture, vibration, and mechanical damage.
Verify the lamp's mounting location, orientation, and visibility against applicable vehicle lighting requirements.
Confirm that the surface/screw-mount configuration is suitable for the intended mounting surface.
Do not assume that the lamp supports stop, turn, tail, identification, clearance, or side marker functions until the manufacturer's S/T/I designation and electrical specifications have been confirmed.
Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable vehicle lighting regulations.
Important: The supplied description confirms the Signature Series family, nominal 12-inch length, eighteen red SMD LEDs, smoked lens, S/T/I designation, surface/screw mounting, and three bare-wire leads. The exact S/T/I functions, operating voltage, wire assignments, dimensions, mounting hardware, and compliance markings require verification.
