LED Flood Light Recommendation for the Sides of a Horse Trailer

Published 04/15/2015

Question:

I am looking to install utility lights on the rear-sides of a horse trailer these are primarily intended to give general flood lighting for parking / close-quarter maneuvering at night, and potentially for general area lighting if an event runs past dusk. I am looking at a pedestal mount, LED style utility light. I am familiar with the ~800 Lumen residential light bulbs, but am having trouble relating this to flood light illumination. I dont want spot lights, that will blind or distract humans and animals alike. But what does 800 lumen, 1400 lumen, 3600 lumen, even 6300+ lumen lights available on your website translate to when mounted 9foot high on a trailer? Can you provide any guidance or any recommendations for this application? Thank you.

I would recommend the Opti-Brite LED Floodlight # TLL45FB which has a Lumens output of 1,200.

The easiest way for me to show you how bright this light is to have you check out the video I attached. This show this light being used in the middle of the night without any other lighting to show you exactly how bright it is.
