is there a Certain Amount of Time LED Trailer Light BUL52CB Can be On
Question:
My horse trailer currently uses incandescent 6 1/2inch oval backup lights for interior lighting. I wish to replace them with either BUL22CB or BUL52CB lights as the mounting is the same as what I have now. QUESTION 1: Is there a time limit for how long these LED lights can remain lit without damage? QUESTION 2: When used as Dome Lights which is the better choice - BUL22CB or BUL52CB? Thank you for your assistance. I will need 5 lights so I want to be sure I get the right one.

As you probably already know, LED lights draw much less power than regular bulbs. They also do not get as hot so you can have them on longer without worrying about them burning out. There is no official amount of time the lights can be on.
As far as which would work better as an interior dome type of light, I would go with # BUL52CB because it has more diodes which would produce more light than # BUL22CB.
With either light you will also need a pigtail # A45CB and a grommet, # a70gb.
