Is the Oval LED Trailer Utility Light a Flood or Spot Light Style for Interior Trailer Lighting
Question:
One more question comes to mind regarding this light fixture. Is it designed to cover a large area with light flood or is it for a more focused, tighter beam application spot. In fact, what is its intended, primary application? I want to use it to illuminate the interior of a 7 X 12 enclosed cargo trailer for nighttime loading and unloading. I dont want to buy this from you only to find that it is not suitable for my needs and then have to return it to you. Thanks again!

The Oval, LED Trailer Utility Light, item # BUL78C3MB, is designed as an area light, more like a flood than a spot light, and would be a good choice for interior lighting in an enclosed cargo trailer. The Straight 3-Wire Pigtail, item # A45PB, can be used for wiring this light. This LED light could be spliced into the tail light circuit, so the lights can be activated with the vehicle tail lights. A switch inside the trailer would be needed so that the lights are not on when traveling down the road.
If you need a light for outside the trailer when unloading and loading, I would recommend the Rectangular Tractor and Utility Light, item # TL35FS, to flood the area outside the trailer. For this light you would need to use the auxiliary power connection from the trailer connector and a switch to turn it on and off.
