  LED Signal Lamps

I noticed the other day that JW Speaker makes a low profile LED turn and stop lamp for trailers. They claim to be robust and look like they would be less likely to damage than conventional lights.

Has anyone used a pair on a trailer? Do they hold up? I need to replace the ones on my old trailer.

Now comes to the big question. How much are they?

  LED Signal Lamps

I was going to start this post with Murf do you know? But I thought it might be a bit presumpous as EW and other have a lot of experience. You are always thinking about these things to save a dollar. I would think 40$ repairs and labour are likely light on the costs. I think you are saving way more than that.
You get a couple of workers pulled over for a ticket or just citation with a minumum of 30 minutes talk time the clock can easily rack up the money. Finding the right bulbs often takes me a few hours. With a lot of the bulbs coming from China they are more like flash bulbs these days.

  LED Signal Lamps

All LED's run between 1 and 4 volts which is dictated by the n to p band gap in the semi conductors. They must have a transformer in the system to reduce the voltage from the line voltage down to the 3-4 volts from the 12-14.4. I am not sure how the voltage spikes caused by a bad ground on a trailer would effect them.

That makes sense Murf, but each colour, red, green, yellow and blue has a different voltage as the materials are different and the p to n band gap is different.
