Recommended Interior LED Lights for 24-Foot Car Hauler Trailer
Question:
Good morning. I am inquiring about your Led Interior lights. I have a 24 foot car hauler that I am redoing. How many would you use and what kind. Thanks.

For a 24-foot enclosed car hauler trailer I recommend at least three lights on the ceiling and possibly also one or two on the trailer's side walls to give you some illumination of the car's interior and to help when you're securing it in the trailer.
Optronics part # RVILL34 is an 18-LED oval surface-mount light that includes a switch, a nice feature if you'd like to be able to control the lights individually. For a large (6-inch) round light without switching you can use domed light # ILL24CB which features 24 diodes. Three of these 6-inch lights on the ceiling would give you a very well-lit trailer.
For the sides of the trailer I suggest a strip-type light like the 18-inch # ILL71CBAWN as this will help distribute the light output over a larger area. Of course, you can choose the size and shape of light that you prefer for each location.
These and other options are shown on the linked page. You can sort the products shown by clicking on the filters on the page.
LED lights are a great upgrade when you're re-doing an enclosed trailer like your 24-foot car hauler because they use much less power than incandescent lights (about 1/10th as much) and they produce brighter output. LEDs also generate less heat and require no bulb changes.
