Question:

Is it ok to mix LED lights with the standard bulbs on the same circuit?

asked by: PVDT

Expert Reply:

The issue is that because of the different power draws from incandescent and LED lights on the same circuit, there could be performance issues that affect how the lights work, so mixing the type of lights is generally not a good idea for a trailer, including the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 (66" bars) and # Y08107 (78" bars).

I recommend using the proper replacement lights from Yakima for their Rack and Roll trailers, and the good news is we have each of them available:
