  • Trailer Lighting Needed for Loading a Boat onto a Trailer In the Dark
  • The Optronics Transit LED Backup Light, part # BUL90CB would be a brighter light than the Optronics Sealed, Oval LED Trailer Utility Light, part # BUL78CB. It would work great for a lighting up the area behind your boat trailer for loading a boat in the dark. The # BUL90CB is also a submersible light which means it has a sealed, waterproof housing and lens. This will be be a good feature since you are using this light on the back of a boat trailer that will be backing down a boat ramp....

  • Base Plate RM67VR VS RM77VR Comparison And Compatibility With RM-422 Tow Bar
  • Both Item # RM77VR and Item # RM67VR are the same cross-bar style base plate but with different connection arms so installation will be the exact same for both. Since you're using the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10K Item # RM-422 both base plates will work with this tow bar but the RM67VR will be slightly less time to connect because the # RM-422 comes with the same connection plates already installed.

  • Comparing LED Flood Lights To Use On Back Of Horse Trailer
  • The beam for the # TLL46FB is 10 ft wide at its widest point and the beam extends up to 130 ft. The optimal width is at about 65 ft. The beam is more narrow at around 5 feet wide at 30 ft. This may work well for you. I called my contact at Optronics about part # TLL60FB. They told me that they have not tested the light dispersion for this light as was done on the TLL46FB. The # TLL60FB has 6 diodes so the amount of light would be reduced by 1/3 versus the TLL46FB which has 9 diodes so...

  • Are the Wesbar 108121 and Optronics # ST70RB Lights Interchangeable with Light Kit # 98174LED
  • Wesbar light 108121 is now a discontinued item but the Optronics # ST70RB is a direct replacement for it, and yes, this 6-1/2-inch oval 3-function light will work great as a replacement part for the cargo carrier lighting kit # 20174. For brighter light output and lower power demand you can change over to an LED-type lighting kit such as # 98174LED. LEDs do cost more than standard incandescent lights but they offer higher efficiency, brighter output and require no periodic bulb changes.

  • Aluminum Versus Ceramic Load Resistors for Replacing Incandescent Lights for LED Lights on RV
  • Load resistors, such as # DI34ZR, will get hot as they do their job of absorbing power (providing resistance). They will work fine for helping a wiring harness work well with low-power-demand LED type trailer lighting. The difference between them is that the aluminum resistors will be able to more quickly dissipate that heat to the surrounding air. The aluminum housing will release it's heat better since the material itself is more conductive of heat than ceramic (which is really an insulator...

  • Availability of Replacement Trailer Stop/Turn/Tail Lights for Super 60 Model 60 Lights
  • The replacement light you would need to replace your model 60 light is the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 48 Diode, item # STL70RB. The Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 10 Super Diode, item # STL72RB, is just a bit small on the width and a bit large on the height to properly fit in the grommet for the model 60, but may work if you would like to try it.

  • How does the GCH Custom Third Brake Light Camera Work with the Factory Monitor
  • The Custom Third Brake Light Camera for Aftermarket Monitor, part # 3460003, that you referenced is designed to work with aftermarket monitors. It will not work with the factory monitor. Instead, to use one that works with your 4.2" factory monitor, you will need to use part # 3460002. This one comes with a switch kit that installs by plugging into the factory plug behind your radio. The switch will allow you to choose the backup camera or the tailgate one. If you have the 8" factory...

  • is there a Certain Amount of Time LED Trailer Light BUL52CB Can be On
  • 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.

  • Comparing Curt Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2008 Honda Accord LXP Sedan
  • For your 2008 Honda Accord sedan if it has LED tail lights then harness # C56175 is not recommended. Plus it is a hardwire harness that requires cutting and splicing into the vehicle tail light wiring. Harness # C55502 is a much better option. It will work with your Accord and just plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring.

  • Comparing Current Output of Tow Ready and Curt Wiring Harnesses for 2013 Dodge Journey with LEDs
  • A vehicle that uses LED-type lighting for its own light functions will typically use smaller gauge wiring than a vehicle that was designed with standard incandescent lights which draw roughly 10 times as much power. This efficiency with LEDs makes the vehicle able to use less copper, which means both lower cost and lower weight. Not a bad thing. That lighter-gauge wiring also means that the trailer wiring harness you use will have to be a powered type, which draws the actual power for...

  • What is the Difference Between Submersible and Waterproof Trailer Tail Lights
  • A submersible tail light can let water in, there is usually a hole at a low point so the water can drain out. A waterproof light should be sealed to keep out water. For either type, you would also want to seal out water where the tail light wiring splices into the trailer wiring. Shrink tubing works well for this. You can also wrap up connections with electrical tape. Or you could use a combination of liquid electrical tape, # SWC50122, and regular electrical tape. Ideally, if you have...

  • Comparing Optronics LED Lights Candela Output
  • My contact at Optronics was able to give me a brightness comparison between their LED lights # BUL78CB and # ILL31CB. Although both use 10 LEDs, the BUL78CB uses super diodes that deliver a lot more actual light output. Optronics was able to give me the candela specification for each light. This scale differs from lumens but it still gives you a good comparison basis. A common candle emits light with a luminous intensity of roughly one candela. Light # ILL31CB offers 44 candela output...
