Need ideas for a loading light
Hi,
I'm a newbie, and wiring an equipment trailer for lights and brakes, and could use a loading light. Thought about fog lights mounted at front of trailer, probably be ok after tractor is on trailer, also could use light at the rear. Going to use fog lights for backup lights mounted on rear of the fenders, Possibly they might shine enough light around to take care of the rear.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
wm

Ditch the fog light idea in my opinion unless you are going to get really high quality ones. I feel like they break way too easily and don't throw off a lot of light. If you don't mind spending some money these are the lights you want: SIRENNET.COM - SoundOff PAR 36 LED 1000 Lumen Flood Light My buddy has a set on his plow truck and the light up the night for miles. Amazing amount of light. The will be the last lights you will ever buy.

Hi,
I checked the PAR lights, they look great. Plenty bright.
What do you think would be the best way to mount them? I was thinking that I would mount a light on the forward end of the trailer, maybe on a fold down/up mast like an area light on a building. Maybe about 4' high.
I'd like to get some ideas about that.

Yeah, thats what I'd do. I think that would work out pretty well. Then if you want to do a couple of reverse lights as well, just bolt them to the fenders, aim then to where you want, and you'll be set.
