Durability, Longevity and Reliability

Operating in demanding conditions, trailer lights must withstand the rigors of the road and weather elements. Phillips Industries recognizes this requirement and has engineered their lights to be exceptionally durable and reliable.

The PERMALITE XT Trailer Lighting features groundbreaking BoardFree technology that eliminates the need for a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), enhancing the resilience of our products against damage caused by liquids or chemicals. Additionally, the overmolded and PCB-free design of BoardFree guarantees that our lighting solutions maintain exceptional resistance to corrosion, water, shocks, and impacts. Phillips Industries lighting products deliver unmatched performance and longevity in any environment.

When lights go out, numerous companies offer complimentary truck light replacements, yet the associated downtime leads to reduced efficiency and negatively impacts the fleet’s profitability. Phillips Industries provides a reliable solution. The durability of Phillips Industries BoardFree LED lights keeps trailers out of the shop for maintenance, and eliminates the need for drivers to carry replacement lights – translating into reduced maintenance costs and increased uptime for fleets – all maximizing operational efficiency.

One of the key factors in ensuring safe transportation is excellent visibility, especially for large trailers. Phillips Industries understands this critical need and has developed a range of lights that excel in providing unparalleled visibility on the road.

The PERMALITE XT Trailer Lighting series features advanced LED technology that produces bright, clear, and highly visible lighting. Our lights deliver maximum light output while consuming minimal power – making them energy-efficient and reducing strain on the vehicle’s electrical system.

By harnessing the power of sensors and data analytics via the Phillips Connect Smart7 nosebox and Connect1 monitoring platform, fleets can detect issues and alert drivers in real-time. This proactive approach significantly reduces the risk of accidents, making roads safer for everyone. Additionally, the system’s advanced lighting features increase the visibility of trailers to others, especially during adverse weather conditions or low-light situations, further minimizing the chances of collisions and potential for expensive liability.

Versatility and Ease of Installation
