Tackling the problem of shortened lamp life, Truck-Lite designed the first sealed marker lamp. Starting out of a quality-controlled kitchen sink, Truck-Lite transformed vehicle lighting, and established their roots as the industry’s leading innovator. 

Truck-Lite Co., Inc. grew as an innovative and trustworthy company through the years, constantly improving products, and continuing to find better ways to produce safety lighting. Truck-Lite continued on, creating the first lamps in the industry with bulbs cradled in protective shock mounts. Protecting the fragile filaments from the rugged vibration encountered in the trucks of the day, this innovation is strongly utilized throughout the market even today.

Through continued advanced such as the first sealed wiring harness, Truck-Lite’s technological advances were greeted with enthusiasm by the marketplace, and helped Truck-Lite grow to become a major supplier to the trucking industry.
