Large users such as Car transporters and Plant companies, can save money in 2 ways:
Maintanance
Due to the nature of a filament Bulb when it illuminates the filament gets hot when it is on for a long period of time, it gets very soft and with the harsh ride of a trailer when you run over a bump or pot hole the filament in the bulb can break. During the months when the nights draw in we hear of car transport companies that are changing 3-4 bulbs per day. Even though this does not cost much in the way of bulbs this can easily cost 10-30 minutes per day to check the bulbs and then change them. If you run a trailer for 5 days a week this will costs a minium of 50 minutes per week per trailer. Where as an LED light does not have a filament and lasts far longer.
Compatability
LED Trailer Lights are available as a Multivolt Light meaning they will work on 12 and 24volt systems. this is Ideal for a plant company that may tow with a transit 1 day and a 7.5 tonne lorry, the next this can save hours per week changing bulbs.
LED trailer Lights do have problems with compatability on some modern cars with canbus wiring systems as the LED lights only draw a low current this doesn’t register on the falt finding system on the car this is easily rectified with Resistors or 7 way Smart Relays.
