6 Inch 18W Reversing LED Work Light E-Mark R23
The SLL-6018 is a 6 inch reversing LED work light designed for vehicles and machinery that operate in low visibility conditions during reversing, including trucks, forklifts, and engineering vehicles. Six 3W CREE LEDs deliver 1440 effective lumens in a flood beam pattern, providing even illumination across the rear working zone without glare. The die-cast aluminium housing with UV polyester powder coating resists corrosion and impact, while IP68 sealing ensures operation after pressure washing. ECE-R23 and ECE-R10 approvals allow use on public roads in Europe, avoiding rejection at inspection.
- Flood beam spreads 1440 effective lumens evenly across the rear work zone instead of a narrow bright spot
- IP68 sealing and a robust cable entry gland prevent water ingress during pressure washing and daily cleaning
- ECE-R23 and ECE-R10 approvals ensure compliance with European road safety standards for reversing lights
- 9 to 32V DC operation supports both 12V and 24V systems, reducing the number of SKUs needed for mixed fleets
- Overvoltage and overheat protection prevent damage from electrical surges or prolonged high-temperature use
Where This Lamp Is Used
- Reversing lighting on forklifts and warehouse trucks operating in dimly lit storage areas
- Rear work zone illumination on excavators and engineering vehicles during night shift operations
- Auxiliary lighting on service trucks and utility vehicles when backing into tight spaces
- Fleet vehicles used on public roads in Europe that must pass electrical and lighting inspections
- Machinery with frequent wash cycles where salt, water, and cleaning agents degrade standard lights
Who It Is For
- Distributors of reversing lights needing one part number for 12V and 24V systems
- Machinery OEMs integrating reversing lights into production line builds with consistent mounting
- Fleet operators replacing halogen reversing lights that fail after a few hundred hours
- 4x4 and industrial accessory brands developing a private label reversing light line
- Equipment dealers fitting lights on machines used in Europe requiring ECE-R23 certification
Problems It Solves
- Halogen reversing lights burn out quickly under vibration and draw excessive current from the vehicle’s electrical system
- Cheap plastic lenses yellow and crack under UV exposure, reducing light output over time
- Unapproved reversing lights fail at road inspection in Europe due to lack of ECE-R23 certification
- Narrow beam lights create a bright spot in front but leave the sides and edges of the machine dark
- Lights with poor sealing allow water into the housing, causing fogging and electrical failure after washing
Technical Features
- Six 3W CREE LEDs with a total real power draw of 18W and a maximum rating of 20W
- Semi-gloss black UV polyester powder coating over the full housing and bracket
- Bare wire lead of 40cm as standard with a Deutsch connector available on request
- Overvoltage and overheat protection built into the internal circuitry
- Operating window of -40 to +60 degrees Celsius for use in extreme climates
- Rated for more than 50000 hours of continuous operation

Lens bonding and gasket sealing
Quality Control on This Model
- Photometric output verified in an integrating sphere
- Sealing verified against the IP68 rating before shipment
- Vibration testing on a vibration test machine to reproduce machine mounted service
- Salt spray corrosion testing on housing coating and stainless bracket
- High and low temperature alternating humidity testing across the -40 to +60 degrees Celsius window
Customisation Options
- Deutsch DT connector instead of the standard 40cm bare wire lead
- Spot beam optics in place of the flood pattern
- Private label logo on the housing and printed carton
- Alternative cable length for a specific machine harness
- Mixed cartons combining this lamp with other SUNLITEC models for trial orders
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Round 6 inch reversing light | The square body puts more LED area behind the same mounting footprint but needs a flat surface for the bottom bracket |
|---|---|
| Spot beam version of the same lamp | Flood covers the near rear zone evenly while spot reaches further ahead but leaves the machine edges dark |
| Larger 8 inch reversing light | Lower output but fits tight spaces like cab pillars and guard rails where an 8 inch body will not clear |
How to Fit and Use It
- Leave a drip loop in the 40cm lead so water runs away from the gland rather than into it
- Aim the flood beam at the rear work zone close to the machine and use a spot lamp separately for distance
- Clean the PC lens with water and a soft cloth only, since solvents will haze the anti-UV coating
Questions About This Model
Can I order a sample before placing a bulk order
Yes. Sample orders are welcome and mixed samples of different models in one shipment are accepted.
What is the lead time
Sample orders normally take around 3 to 7 working days. Bulk lead time depends on the model and the quantity ordered.
Do you have a minimum order quantity
There is an MOQ for standard orders, but smaller orders are also accepted, which suits distributors testing a new model.
How is the lamp shipped
Samples usually go by DHL, UPS, FedEx or TNT in around 4 to 7 days. Bulk orders ship by air in about 7 to 15 days or by sea in about 15 to 30 days.
Will this lamp work on both 12V and 24V machines
Yes. The operating range is 9 to 32V DC, so the same part number can be fitted to 12V and 24V vehicles.
Can you supply the lamp with our own brand
Yes. OEM and ODM service is available, including a private label logo on the housing and printed cartons.
Is it approved for road going machines
The lamp is CE and RoHS compliant and carries ECE R10 and ECE R23 approvals for electromagnetic compatibility and reversing light function.
