Why do we use LED?
Why opt for LED lighting for your vehicles and trailers?
Switching to LED lights over traditional incandescent light bulbs can bring many benefits 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 that last for more than 100,000 hours, compared to just 3000 hours for conventional incandescent bulbs, the decrease in time spent making sure you replace and check your lights is an enormous time and energy time and energy saver. In actual fact, the Ultimate LED lights comes with a 2- and 5-year warranties.
Energy Efficiency
The efficacy of LED trailer lights is higher than regular light bulbs. They allows you to put more light sources on your trailer. It also allows you to keep your lights (including the hazard lights) running for longer time periods when the engine of your main towing vehicle isn’t in operation.
Vibration Resistance
Because LEDs do not have the fragile filaments that traditional incandescent bulbs possess They are extremely resistant to vibration and shock. Vibration can be a huge issue especially for trailers with smaller spaces with no shock absorbers, and thus bounce more vigorously on rough roads. In Australia the issue of vibration is exacerbated because we frequently have to travel for long distances on roads that are rough and unpaved. Therefore, it is an important benefit to install LED trailer lights to counter the negative effects of traveling in the harsh Australian conditions.
Water Resistance
Conventional glass bulbs are susceptible to break if water is splashed onto them when they are hot. LEDs don’t have this issue. Trailers for boats equipped with LED lights can be submerged in water and not have to worry about blowing out your trailer’s lights. It is important to note that Ultimate LED’s LED lights that are submersible are completely waterproof.
Faster Rise Time
LEDs are a lot more efficient in reaching the full brightness than conventional lighting bulbs. This translates to a greater safety benefit when using LEDs as your stop lights for your trailer. The standard stop lights require just a quarter second to get to full intensity while LED lights take less than half the time. Thus, drivers are capable of reacting faster to the beginning of braking when a vehicle is in front of them in the event that the vehicle is equipped with stop light LEDs. We are talking only milliseconds change, but this may be all that’s required to avoid an accident , therefore the rise time is a crucial aspect to take into account when deciding on the kind of lights you want to install for your truck.
Easy Installation
The Ultimate LED range of light bulbs are simple to install.
Conclusion
If you think about the numerous benefits and the easy installation process, it’s evident that switching to LED lighting is the best choice to save money in terms of safety and also for the planet.
