Incandescent vs. LED Trailer Lights

Posted by on 8/29/2011 to Boat Trailer Parts

LED lighting is now becoming the standard lighting used for trailers. There are a number of things that set LED lights apart from their incandescent counterparts. LED lights, unlike incandescent ones, do not have an interior filament. This means that they will last longer than incandescent lights. LED lights also have a greater ability to withstand shocks and bumps than incandescent bulbs.


Another reason why many people are switching from incandescent bulbs to LED lights is that LED lights are extremely energy efficient. In fact, it has been estimated that LED lights use ninety percent less energy than incandescent lights. Furthermore, LED lights are safe. Unlike incandescent lights, LED lights immediately come on when one brakes for any reason. This drastically reduces the possibility of being rear-ended.

The only downside to buying LED trailer lighting is the cost. Many LED trailer lights cost more than double of what incandescent lights cost. However, the prices of LED trailer lighting are falling. Furthermore, with a bit of shopping around it is possible to buy LED trailer lighting at a good price.


While incandescent trailer lighting was considered indispensible in times past, LED lighting is fast becoming the "new normal." Most trailers now have this type of lighting installed. As LED lighting is safe, durable and efficient, it is the best option for any trailer.
