Oracle Lighting Introduces Flush LED Tail Lights for Late Model GMC Sierra 1500 Trucks


ORACLE Lighting is excited to reveal our new flush mount "Lensless" LED tail light design for the GMC Sierra 1500. This unique low-profile design helps avoid potential lens damage while trail riding. These innovative tail lights from ORACLE feature an attractive design and functional LED lighting elements including high-powered reverse lights, integrated turn signals, and unique signature perimeter lighting.

The new modular design allows the reverse lights and reflectors to be quickly disassembled for custom painting. The Reverse Light modules can be easily removed from the black housing which can then be painted to match the body color of the vehicle to provide a more customized appearance which more seamlessly blends with the truck.

No more problems backing up at night and no longer do you need to install additional reversing lamps onto the back of your truck to get the brightness you desire. That’s because these LED reverse lights are basically a pair of LED light bars mounted into the tail light which will provide over 1,400 Lumens of rear-facing illumination!

In addition of the attractive "signature style" LED lighting band and the high-output reverse light this design also features a "dynamic" turn signal effect. This "motion" or "sequential effect" is a fluid LED motion from the inside portion of the light to the outside potion of the light signifying the direction of the turn signal with a fluid animated LED sequence.

These innovative LED tail lights were designed and engineered by ORACLE Lighting right here in the USA. This Patent-Pending lensless design provides many unique features and characteristics, providing an aesthetically pleasing product with a forward-thinking design language.

Product Features
  • Unique Signature Style Lighting Elements.
  • Easy DIY Plug & Play Installation.
  • Sequential Motion Turn Signal Effect.
  • Modern Sleek Design and Styling
  • Innovative ORACLE Flush Mount Design.
  • High-Powered LED Reverse Lights

We have designed a completely new mounting system for the Daytime Running Light that includes making new molds for both the DRL and Vector grill itself. We've added precisely designed clips to the DRL strips and the designated area on the grill housing, ensuring a more secure seal. This enhancement prevents moisture from entering the DRLs, eliminating LED failure.

The updated Vector Grill for Jeep Wrangler JK & JL and Gladiator JT has received overwhelmingly positive feedback!

Jeep enthusiasts know that the grill is more than just a part of the vehicle’s facade; it’s a statement of style and functionality. ORACLE Lighting has taken this to heart with the introduction of the new and improved Vector™ ProSeries Grill. This cutting-edge upgrade combines advanced LED technology with rugged durability to provide Jeep owners with an unparalleled driving experience.

The first generation of the Vector Grill faced challenges with the DRL (Daytime Running Light) seal, which could be compromised by moisture. To address this, ORACLE Lighting has completely encapsulated the new PROSERIES DRLs in silicone before assembly. Utilizing a newly acquired, precisely calibrated piece of equipment, the channel is consistently filled every time, significantly enhancing the IP rating to IP68 and making moisture penetration virtually impossible.

This improvement was not immediate; it involved testing over a dozen different techniques and subjecting them to rigorous quality control (QC) before finalizing the design.

To further ensure reliability, ORACLE Lighting collaborated with their factory QC team to adopt extensive post-production testing. The new control plan includes detailed testing of the DRL modules across various voltages and temperature ranges as specified in SAE J1455 Section 4.1.3.1. These tests ensure the modules can handle voltage fluctuations and extreme temperatures, guaranteeing they remain functional under harsh conditions.

These advancements have not gone unnoticed. ORACLE Lighting proudly announces the Vector™ ProSeries Grill, designed for the 2018-2020 Jeep Wrangler JL, 2020 Jeep Gladiator JT, and 2007-2018 Wrangler JK models. This patented replacement grille includes integrated LED lights, DOT-compliant headlights, high-beams, innovative sequentially firing enhanced DRLs, and quad driving lights.

“ORACLE Lighting couldn’t be more pleased with the official launch of the new Vector™ ProSeries Grill,” comments Robert Smith, ORACLE Lighting National Sales Manager. “The Vector™ design is a forward-thinking twist to the look of the JL while delivering more features, safety, and visibility for drivers, especially in lifted rigs. The Vector™ represents our company’s strong commitment to delivering American-engineered lighting solutions that help consumers get the most out of their trucks doing what they love.”

Enhanced features of the Vector™ ProSeries grill
  1. Improved Illumination: The grill features 24 high-output ZES LEDs, providing an impressive 4,000 lumens. The independently adjustable beams allow for precise light positioning, which is particularly beneficial for lifted Jeeps.
  2. Dynamic Daytime Running Lights (DRLs): The enhanced DRLs are arranged in a striking wrap-around pattern and flow sequentially on start-up. With more than 200 high-output LEDs housed inside a tinted lens, they offer standout illumination.
  3. Durability: The grill shell is made from automotive-grade polycarbonate that is 30% thicker than the stock material, ensuring durability. It is shipped fully assembled and paint-ready in black satin, with custom paint options available.
  4. Easy Installation: The Vector™ ProSeries Grill is designed for easy installation, with pre-installed lights and adjustable beams for both projection distance and wide cornering visibility.
Oracle Lighting today announced it has completed a an asset acquisition of LumaMedia International Inc. located in Las Vegas, NV. LumaMedia is the country’s leading innovator of Electroluminescent Signage, which is a thin, flexible glowing panel that can be used in a variety of industries and applications. Assets in this acquisition include the LumaMedia International Trademarks, Logos, Websites, URLs, Digital Assets, and Social Media Networks.

LumaMedia is best known for developing impactful advertising signage with the ability to capture attention like nothing else. LumaMedia first developed an innovative, multi-purpose product whose applications are as wide as your imagination. Users can use these custom-made signs to light up a variety of surface spaces with this exclusive electroluminescent illumination that these specialized panels provide. The LumaMedia products are easily powered and transform everything from product displays to vehicles into vividly eye-catching illuminated marketing materials.

The LumaMedia product is a form of inorganic electroluminescence which utilizes an extruded polyester substrate that vividly glows when a current is applied. In other words, it’s a thin, colorful graphic that can light up making it stand out. This technology has many practical automotive applications but can also be applied to everything from banners, to clothing, to walls and everything in-between. The LumaMedia concept takes standard graphics and evolves them into vivid, radiant images that are extremely eye catching.

“We plan to use this acquisition to further expand our offerings in the Electroluminescent manufacturing space” says Justin Hartenstein, the Founder and Director of Product Development for ORACLE Lighting, “While we have offered these types of products to the Motorsport industry for years now, we plan to push into new markets such as illuminated vehicle wraps, commercial signage, marine applications, and illuminated trade show exhibit signage.” See more of ORACLE’s illuminated EL Panels and Signage at www.OracleLights.com/logos

Although it is not as widely recognized as LED, Electroluminescence (EL) is arguably the most efficient light source in the world. Thinner than a business card, these peel-and-stick panels use a UV ink-receptive polyester substrate to project eye-catching electroluminescence, making it a unique and head-turning solution for advertising and marketing displays. Whether you’re a business owner who needs bold signage, a promotional products distributor looking for unique marketing offerings, or a race team looking to stand out from the pack, EL panels may be a great solution for you.
