Many farmers around the country have older trailers or implements lying around farmyards that may be very rarely used. However, after being left outside and not being used for a long period, it’s not unusual for the lights to have stopped working.
Sparex Ltd, a supplier of tractor parts and accessories, has recently introduced a new product called Connix to the market. This is a set of wireless magnetic LED lights that can be attached to any implement or vehicle.
Connix is handy for implements lying around farmyards that may be very rarely used or in the case of an emergency where lights suddenly may stopped working.
Once fully charged, we attached the lithium battery-powered LED lights to the back of a trailer and connected them to the tractor using a seven-pin plug. Sparex claims the maximum transmitting distance from the seven-pin plug to the lights is 20 metres. However, we found this distance to be much larger (in excess of 50 metres).
The LED lights act as rear lighting, indicators, brake lights and a side light will illuminate the number plate if situated in between.

The lights take four hours to fully charge and have a 10-hour battery life with a display of the remaining charge. The lights can be recharged by plugging them into the tractor’s 12-volt supply. The units appear to be built quite well and seem to be durable. The magnetic force seems to be strong. It didn’t come off the trailer while towing it around the bumpy country roads. The light from the LED bulbs was also very bright.
A set of Connix lights would be suitable around any farm, especially when you’re in a panic and suddenly you notice the lights on a trailer aren’t working.

Sparex recently picked up a gold medal award in the Online Innovation section for the product for the upcoming LAMMA show.
The RRP price of the Connix lights in Ireland is €118.50.
