The new reverse lights have an MSRP of $149.95 per pair, and are also available for Jeep Wrangler JL.

Unsatisfied with the visibility of your Jeep Gladiator reverse lighting when backing up at night? Then replace the factory bumper reflectors with high-output
replacement auxiliary LED reverse lights from Oracle Lighting. This reverse light design seamlessly integrates into the bumper reflector area to provide more than 1,500 additional lumens when backing up in a Jeep Gladiator.

“We noticed a consensus of Gladiator owners who had the same problem…complaints of low visibility when backing up at night,” said Justin
Hartenstein, Oracle Lighting director of development. “Many tried to supplement with auxiliary lights and light bars which just did not fit, had limited ground clearance, and just looked out-of-place. We immediately saw an opportunity to use our expertise to provide a functional integrated solution.”

Designed for function and durability, these lights feature an aluminum housing with PMMA lens while also maintaining the rear reflector function with a scaled-down version integrated into the housing.

These compact lights pack a big punch with a total of 30 high-powered LEDs to add additional lighting to improve your Jeep Gladiator reverse visibility. They come ready to install out of the box, ensuring that you will have rear visibility in your Jeep Gladiator when it matters. Installation uses factory mounting hardware, and these lights tie into the rear light wiring with the included T-taps or with the optional Plug-and-Play adapter (p/n 5881-504) for even easier installation.

Additional features and specifications include:
• Connects to existing reverse light power source without error code
• Integrated rear reflector for OE appearance and function
• Total of 30 high-powered LEDs with 3,000 raw Lumen output
• Aluminum housing with black powder coat finish
• Optic-focused beam pattern for an extended field of view

METAIRIE, LA, June 30, 2021 – Oracle Lighting (www.oraclelights.com), the market leader in high-quality and innovative LED solutions for the automotive/12Volt, power sports, marine, and motorcycle markets, is proud to announce it recently donated 550 A.I.R. Solo™ (Antimicrobial Irradiation Respirator) face masks to the United Way and Port Sulphur, LA-based Plaquemine’s Medical Center in an ongoing effort to help in the fight against COVID-19. The value of the 550 masks donated exceed $55,000.

“On behalf of our Oracle Lighting Foundation Task Force, we are excited and proud to be able to make this donation which allows us to help others during the pandemic,” said Tiffanie Hartenstein, Oracle Lighting CEO. “The masks will be
given to lower income families who are unable to get the vaccine or who have family members with low or compromised immune systems. They will also be used throughout the hospital since the mask gives staff an extra layer of protection against other bacteria or viruses.”

The A.I.R. Solo™ (Antimicrobial Irradiation Respirator), which Oracle Lighting developed and launched last year, is a wearable UVGI face mask that is designed to be worn under common face masks and utilizes Ultraviolet Germicidal technology which has been shown kill live viruses such as COVID-19.

“Early in the pandemic we saw shortages of PPE and wanted to help the medical community by developing a sustainable system which would actively sanitize the user’s mask in real item,” explained Justin Hartenstein, Oracle Lighting director of product development. “So we made a decision to use our experience with UV LEDs and to shift our focus into a new UVGI device which led to the A.I.R. Solo mask.”

A.I.R. Solo is worn under any common face mask and utilizes a patent-pending system to sanitize the air while simultaneously neutralizing contaminants trapped in the cloth face mask by means of short-wave ultraviolet light exposure. The ultraviolet light source is produced via UV LEDs which are integrated into the device. The spectrum of ultraviolet light is separated into various ranges, with shortest-wavelength referred to as UV-C which is considered “germicidal UV”.
