Yes, that one is described as SeaSense, brand (I couldn't actually read the box in the photo, but that's what's stated). Depending on your trailer, particularly the shape of the metal mount around the taillights, you should be able to use either the square one that's illustrated, or else another variety of SeaSense product. On my two trailers, one needed the square one, but the other required a (horizontal) rectangular version. But they're both available from this company, and they're both very good (and were praised in the sister publications, PowerBoat Reports and Practical Sailor, which rigorously test products and do not have ads, kinds of like Consumers Reports for boaters -- if you want to know more about them, let me know).
In either the square or rectangular lights, the current is minimal. Just be sure that you've got a good ground for each light (corrosion being a common problem in boat trailers -- do you use it in salt water, or fresh?). I took the precaution of forgoing reliance on the trailer frame for the ground, and added an additional wire, on both trailers' lighting wiring harness (included with the lights) to provide a dedicated ground path back to the connector to the car's harness. One of my boat/trailers is used only in fresh water (a sailboat) and the other in usually salt water (it's too big for all local lakes except Hopatcong), but I installed both of them the same.
Safe boating, and driving.
