Expert Reply:

The Optronics Transit LED Backup Light, part # BUL90CB would be a brighter light than the Optronics Sealed, Oval LED Trailer Utility Light, part # BUL78CB. It would work great for a lighting up the area behind your boat trailer for loading a boat in the dark.

The # BUL90CB is also a submersible light which means it has a sealed, waterproof housing and lens. This will be be a good feature since you are using this light on the back of a boat trailer that will be backing down a boat ramp. The # BUL78CB is not a submersible light, but it is waterproof.

The # BUL90CB is also a 7 inch round diameter light which would give you a greater area of light compared to the smaller, oval light.
