When you search for cargo trailer repair in Denver, naturally Ainsworth Trailer Repair floats to the top of the list. Not only are we easily reached from anywhere in the city, or the entire Front Range for that matter, we have all the expertise required to work on any type of trailer. As everything towed behind a vehicle is required to have at least brake/indicator lights to be run legally on public roads, such lights are tremendously important for both your safety and the safety of the public.
With the onset of longer darkness, isn’t it time you considered upgrading your trailer’s lights to light emitting diodes (LED) instead?
The older style incandescent lights are simply not as bright, durable, or as energy efficient as LED lighting is. As LED lights do not generate the waste heat that incandescent ones do, they are also not as vulnerable to bulb burn out or shattering due to immersion in water, which is a particularly important point in favor of LED units being installed upon boat trailers.
On the simplest of trailers it can be said that installing LED lighting units is a do-it-yourself task. However, if your current incandescent lights are integrated into the design of your trailer, or you also have running lights incorporated into the skins of the trailer’s walls or roof, you’ll want professional installation by a company like Ainsworth Trailer Repair of Denver so that those new lights look like they were factory installed.
Yes, there are products out there on the internet that purport to be be “screw in” LED upgrades into your existing incandescent lights, but these aren’t as safe or cost efficient as they might seem. LED lamps pull much less amperage than incandescent lighting does, therefore you could burn out the very lights you were depending upon.
For the same current draw reasons, it is not recommended that you mix LED and incandescent lighting on the same circuits. If you mount LED brake lights and turn indicators on your trailer, you should also upgrade your side markers and other running lights to LED too.
