What can we do do install led work lights onto trailers for safety and productivity

Sometimes, multi color led work lights with turning light or reverse indication are installed onto heavy-duty trailers. For the purpose of safety and reliability, we need to consider some major points to ensure proper functionality and compliance.

First of all, you need to adopt the E-mark or DOT certified led work lights regarding placement,brightness,color,beam pattern and angle for European and American market. There are little variations in some market, so it is necessary to check the local laws for compliance.

As we know, there are different trailers types on the market, such as flatbed,enclosed,dump, correct wiring and connections must be paid attention to meet safety requirements for specific lighting requirements.

There are different led chips for led work lights we produce now, such as, Epistar,CREE, 3030 SMD, CSP 1860 or Osram,etc. For the intended application, you need to consider the requirements of actual illumination, work area’size and tasts being performed. Relatively, the expensive Osram leds are the brightness based on the same power consumption,same beam angle and pattern.

Made of durable diecast or CNC aluminum housings, most of our e-mark certified led work lights are IP67 waterproof to withstand minor vibration, shock, and weather. Wide voltage compatibility is also very important because more and more electrified trailers enter the market, for this reason, all of the Teehon led work lights are designed to work at wide DC voltage from 10V to 60V DC.

During the installations, make the best placement of the lights for maximum visibility and coverage, while avoiding glare for other drivers.

Adopt sturdy 304 stainless steel bottom mounting kits to secure the lights to the trailer, considering vibration and potential impacts.

Choose appropriate harness wiring and secure connections to prevent shorts and ensure reliable operation. Consider using a waterproof wiring harness for the LED work lights.  Wireless control can be a better alternative to control led work lights, possibly with reverse or turning indicator lights.

Consider the potential requirements for battery drain, especially if the LED work lights will be used for a long time when the trailer is not connected to a vehicle. Appropriate fuses and relays must be used to protect the wiring and prevent overloading the circuit.

Ensure the lights do not obstruct other original lights on the trailer such as led brake lights or turning lights. Try to adjust the lighting coverage to minimize glare for oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

After the led work lights operate a period of time on the trailers, periodical maintenance are much necessary to avoid any faulty damage for reliable operation. Clean the lenses clean to maintain the perfect illumination output.
