Question:

I have an livestock trailer that I would like to light the inside. I am wanting bright lights so I can see well in the dark. What led lights would you recommend?

Good news, I can help pick out led lights for your livestock trailer.

My favorite interior light that I would recommend for you is the part # ILL08COB. This light is super bright and since it uses LEDs instead of incandescent bulbs it hardly draws any amperage as well.
Which means you can run it on either the auxiliary power circuit or the taillight circuit on your trailer without worrying about overloading the circuit.

This style of light doesn't come with a switch on it because it would normally get used with a wall switch, or at least one easier to access than having to reach up near the light to turn off and on, like Pollack # PK34513.

If you wanted a LED light with a switch, the Optronics # RVILL34 would be a good option. I've linked a video installation of this light being installed in a trailer for your convenience.

I can also help you with wiring the lighting in your enclosed trailer, if you plan on doing so with an auxiliary battery. If that's something that interests you let me know and I'd be happy explain and recommend all the parts needed for that setup.
