HELLA 2559BULK Licence Plate Light LED 9 to 33V 8 Pce

HELLA 2559BULK Licence Plate Light LED 9 to 33V 8 Pce

ADR 48/00 compliant LED licence plate light in a bulk pack of 8, with 2.5m pre-wired cable, 20mm mounting spacer included, IP67 sealed construction, and 5-year warranty, suited to trucks, trailers, and heavy commercial vehicles on 12–24V systems. Note: 2 lights are required per vehicle to achieve ADR 48/00 compliance.

Product Overview

The HELLA 2559BULK is the bulk pack variant of the HELLA 2559 LED licence plate light, supplying 8 units in a single purchase for fleet operators, trailer manufacturers, and workshop professionals requiring volume stock for ongoing trailer builds, refurbishments, and maintenance. Each unit in the pack delivers ADR 48/00 compliant LED number plate illumination across a 12–24V input range, maintaining the same IP67 ingress protection and five-year warranty as the individual 2559 unit. A key practical difference from the individual 2559 is the significantly longer 2.5m pre-wired cable on the 2559BULK, providing ample routing length for installations where the trailer wiring connection point is located further from the licence plate mounting position — particularly useful on longer trailer bodies, rear-access refrigerated units, and tailgate-mounted installations where a 0.5m cable may fall short. Each unit is also supplied with a 20mm mounting spacer, providing a stand-off distance from the mounting surface that assists with positioning the lamp at the correct angle and height relative to the licence plate for optimal illumination coverage and ADR 48/00 compliance. With two units required per vehicle for ADR compliance, the pack of 8 provides sufficient stock for four complete ADR-compliant licence plate lighting installations, making the 2559BULK a practical procurement choice for trailer builders and fleet maintenance workshops managing regular fitment volumes. HELLA's five-year warranty applies to each unit in the pack.

Features & Benefits

Pack of 8 for Fleet and Workshop Procurement: Bulk pack of eight units provides sufficient stock for four complete two-lamp ADR-compliant licence plate lighting installations, streamlining procurement and reducing per-unit cost for trailer builders, fleet operators, and workshop environments with regular fitment volumes.

ADR 48/00 Compliant: Meets Australian Design Rule 48/00 for licence plate lamps on heavy vehicles, confirming each unit is road-legal for rear licence plate illumination on trucks and trailers operating on Australian public roads. Two units per vehicle are required for full ADR 48/00 compliance.

20mm Mounting Spacer Included: A 20mm mounting spacer is supplied with each unit, providing a stand-off distance from the mounting surface to assist with correct lamp positioning and angle relative to the licence plate for optimal illumination coverage and ADR compliance.

2.5m Pre-Wired Cable: The generous 2.5m cable provides ample length for routing from the licence plate mounting position to the trailer rear wiring circuit connection point, accommodating longer trailer bodies, rear-access refrigerated units, and tailgate-mounted installations where shorter cable lengths are insufficient.

LED Light Technology: Maintenance-free LED illumination delivers a significantly longer operational lifespan than incandescent licence plate lamps, reducing the frequency of lamp replacements on large trailer fleets and minimising compliance risk from failed plate lights during roadside inspections.

IP67 Sealed Construction: Fully dust-tight and protected against temporary water immersion, providing robust moisture and ingress protection for the exposed rear panel and under-body mounting positions typical of trailer licence plate lighting installations.

12–24V Universal Input: Compatible with both 12V light commercial vehicles and 24V heavy trucks and trailers, eliminating the need for separate voltage variants across mixed fleets.

HELLA 5-Year Warranty: Each unit in the pack is backed by HELLA's five-year warranty, providing long-term confidence for fleet operators, trailer manufacturers, and transport companies specifying quality lighting for extended service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 2559BULK differ from the individual HELLA 2559 licence plate light?

Both products are the same LED licence plate light unit with identical IP67 rating, ADR 48/00 compliance, and five-year warranty. The key differences are pack quantity, cable length, and included accessories. The 2559BULK supplies 8 units in a single purchase with a longer 2.5m cable and an included 20mm mounting spacer per unit, while the individual 2559 is sold as a single unit with a 0.5m cable and no spacer. Choose the 2559BULK for volume procurement, trailer builds, and installations where the longer 2.5m cable length is required.

Why are 2 units required for ADR 48/00 compliance?

ADR 48/00 prescribes minimum illumination output and coverage angle requirements across the full rear licence plate area. A single lamp positioned on one side of the plate does not provide sufficient even illumination across the full plate width to satisfy these requirements. Two lights, positioned at each end of the plate, provide the combined illumination coverage needed for full ADR 48/00 compliance. The 2559BULK pack of 8 provides enough units for four complete two-lamp ADR-compliant installations.

What is the 20mm mounting spacer used for?

The 20mm mounting spacer provides a stand-off distance between the lamp base and the mounting surface, positioning the light unit at a set distance from the rear panel or number plate bracket. This assists with achieving the correct lamp angle and height relative to the licence plate for optimal illumination coverage across the full plate area, and can also assist with routing the pre-wired cable neatly behind the mounting surface. The spacer is included with each unit in the bulk pack.

Can the 2559BULK be used on both 12V and 24V trailer systems?

Yes. The 2559BULK operates across a 12–24V input range, making it fully compatible with both 12V light commercial vehicle electrical systems and standard 24V heavy truck and trailer systems. A single unit covers both voltage levels without requiring separate variants, making the bulk pack practical for workshop and fleet environments managing mixed 12V and 24V trailer fleets.

How is the 2559BULK installed on a trailer rear panel?

Each unit uses a surface mount design with a 40mm centre-to-centre mounting distance, installed directly onto the rear panel, tailgate, or number plate bracket adjacent to the licence plate. The 20mm mounting spacer can be fitted between the lamp base and the mounting surface for correct positioning. The 2.5m pre-wired cable connects into the trailer's rear wiring circuit at the licence plate lamp feed. Two units should be positioned at each end of the number plate for even illumination and ADR 48/00 compliance. Waterproof connectors and heat-shrink terminals are recommended for a sealed, professional installation.
