I wanted to change out the lights on my TT for LED lights to make them brighter. But, I was told that if my present lights were dim do to a low voltage condition that the LED lights would not work. They are susceptible to low voltage.
Actually, LED lights could solve that issue. Less current draw means less voltage drop. You can drive LEDs with smaller wiring than incandescents.
If you have a low voltage condition on your trailer then you most likely need to clean the grounds in your wiring, Check the connections on all the wires and clean the bulb sockets with some emery paper. Your low voltage can be easily corrected with some simple changes and cleaning.
To keep this from happening in the future use Marine electrical connections (Butt, Ring or other wire terminations)that use heat shrink on the wire surround. And then a bit of heat shrink over that and the wire where it enters the connector barrel. This makes the connections virtually water proof and the connection wont corrode.
