Why does LED?
Why opt for LED lighting for your vehicles and trailers?
Installing LED lights in place of traditional incandescent light bulbs can bring numerous advantages for you. They are more secure are more durable, last longer, use less energy and have a longer lifespan than standard lights.
Long Life
With LEDs lasting more than 100,000 hours as opposed to 3000 hours for conventional incandescent bulbs. The reduction in the time spent making sure you replace and check your lights is an enormous time and effort saving. In reality, the Ultimate LED line of lights come with 2- and 5-year warranties.
Energy Efficiency
The efficacy of LEDs is superior to regular light bulbs. They will allow you to use greater lighting on your trailer. It also allows you to keep your lights (including the hazard lights) in operation for longer durations when the engine of your main towing vehicle isn’t running.
Vibration Resistance
Since LEDs don’t contain the fragile filaments conventional incandescent bulbs do They are extremely immune to vibration and shock. Vibration is a significant issue especially in smaller trailers which lack shock absorbers and thus bounce more vigorously on rough roads. In Australia the issue of vibration is made worse because we frequently have to travel for long distances in rough roads that are not sealed. This is why it is a huge benefit to install LED trailer lights to counter the negative effects of traveling through the rough Australian conditions.
Water Resistance
Glass bulbs that are conventionally used tend to shatter when water comes onto them when they are hot. LED bulbs do not suffer from this issue. Boat trailers equipped with LED lights can be submerged in water without having to worry about blowing up your trailer’s lighting bulbs. It is important to note that Ultimate LED’s LED lights that are submersible are completely waterproof.
Faster Rise Time
LEDs are significantly quicker to achieve the full power of standard light bulbs , and this can translate into a safety advantage when using LEDs as your stop lights for your trailer. Stop lights that are standard take about around a quarter of a second to achieve full brightness and LEDs require less than half that time. This means that a driver will be capable of reacting faster to the beginning of braking on the vehicle in front in the event that the vehicle is equipped by LED lights. We are talking with a mere millisecond variation, but that can be all that is needed to avoid an accident , therefore the rise time is a crucial factor to consider when choosing the kind of lights you want to install in your vehicle.
Easy Installation
The Ultimate LED range of light bulbs can be installed easily.
Conclusion
If you think about the numerous advantages and simplicity of installing, it’s obvious that switching to LED lighting is the best choice in terms of financial cost and from a safety standpoint and also for the planet.
