Question:

I have two 16foot inclosed work trailers that I need to get lights for. I have power going to the trailer when its plugged in but I would like for the lights to berun off a battery and be 12v LEDs all connected to a switch. Can you give me part numbers for a good LED light, 60foot of wire, a switch, and battery connectors?

Expert Reply:

Are you looking for internal or external lights? We can help you with both. For internal lights a good option is part # ILL22CHB because of how bright it is. It's an 830 lumens light which is brighter than most for sure. It's a 2 wire install so connecting it to the switch won't be an issue.

For the wire you can use part # 10-2-1 which is sold by the foot so you want to select 60 feet when ordering. then two of part # DW05705-1 fits the 10 gauge wire and should fit your battery. The rings fit a 3/8 inch size post. We have a bunch of switches like part # 37212005 which is a nice look and easy to wire and mount.
