Wanting to add a few LED lights to my trailer, would like some recommendations for what to use.

I'd go to Ebay and search for LED trailer lights. You'll see a huge bunch to chose from.

Inside? Outside? 12v?or 110v?

110v inside, guess that would help

I changed the florescent lights on my trailer out to some I got from Home Depot and I like them. The light better, use less energy and the bulbs will not fall out.

I just bought some 4' led's from lowes 37 bucks per.Great lights very bright .Heck had me doubting need for 4 but hey its not dark inside when working on car.

I have 3 LED 4' fixtures from Costco.

Same here. They work great and it's like daylight in my trailer

I just coverted my trailer.last weekend. Bought a box of 25 single row led 4ft replacement.lights for 125 on amazon. Trailer has 10 bulbs and got the reset for.my garage. It took 25 minutes to convert the trailer, very bright. Glad i did it. Next i have to swap out the 500w quartz lights on the outside.

Looking for options for that change out

I also put the LED bulbs in my outside flood lights. Those did not work. They all burned out in a few months. Do not use replacement LED bulbs I would go with the complete LED light for the outside. IMHO.

Great info thanks. I’m swapping out the cheap mobile home rocker switches too. What a pain in the a...

For the guys with the LED interior lights, are they like florescent replacement style (4 foot?) or something else? How many lumens for each? My trailer has nothing but the two roof lights, and I was looking at lights for inside as well.

the lights from costco are like a florescent fixture, it's all one piece. Here's the link for them:

I got them when they were on sale for $19 each. They are rated at 3500 lumen each and take almost nothing to run. Easy to mount and have been flawless.

I can't get the link to work by clicking on it, so just copy and paste this:

Did you surface mount them? If so, was it a pain?

I just put a small piece of plywood between the light and the roof bows and screwed them in. The center of the fixture has a dip so they can't flush mount without it. It took me about 25 minutes to mount all of them. I have three in the trailer. It's BRIGHT in there! They come with a small wire and have slots for screws on the backside, but the spacing wasn't right for my roof bows so I just did it this way. they are secure, durable, and work great.

Mine are Feit but probably an older design. I surface mounted the metal reflector and the tubes clip into it. Just for insurance I put long wire ties around them so there is no way the tubes could fall out, they probably won't but I didn't want to find out the hard way. Mine have cords and no switch. I was wiring my trailer from scratch and I surface mounted my wiring in plastic conduit and I used switches to control the outlets for the lights. I drilled holes in the reflector to get the screws where I wanted them. My trailer is 28ft with 2 vents. The frt light and the rear light is mounted side to side and the one between the vents is lengthwise between the vents.

Mine were 4 ft fluorescent bulbs, 2 per fixture, end to end mounted for 8 ft total length. One on each side of the trailer

I'll have to go look at mine but I was able to take them apart to drill and screw the reflector and then the rest clipped in. The bulbs, or what look like bulbs are part of the lain assy. They are just plastic tubes with LED's on a tape.
