• A new design of rear lighting, which includes high-intensity fog units, are now being fitted as standard to all new York trailers (except some low-loaders and beaver tails).
The new lamps provide a total area of 112 sq in. (compared with the legal minimum requirement of 6.24 sq in.) Half of the lighting area contains a high-intensity facility which can be switched on from the driver's cab during fog.
Each of the two lighting units fitted to a vehicle contains four 5/21 bulbs for rear, brake and fog lights and there are two additional 18W bulbs per unit for the flashing indicators. In addition, and unlike most current rear light design, each bulb is mounted in its own parabolic reflector. If the fog-light capability is used an extra plug and socket is needed for the trailer/ tractive unit connection.
The lamps incorporate a bolted wire guard while the lenses themselves are secured by setscrews.
York will be offering the new lamps on a replacement basis for fitting to trailers or vehicles of different make. No price has yet been fixed but new trailers fitted with the lamps will not have any price increase as a result.
The new lamps have been designed by York and have been developed in conjunction with the manufacturers, L. E. Perei Ltd of Farnham, Surrey, with whom York has an exclusive marketing agreement.
