Failing LED lights on an EZLoader trailer

Some have water sloshing around in them and some have obvious condensation. Do other people have this problem with EZLoader? What do y'all reccomend to replace these POS lights? My guess is that you are facing what every trailerboater faces every year or so: trailers lights going teats up. There's really no way to seal a light when all sides of it are underwater, with wires coming out the back side. There most certainly ARE ways to seal them. But, the slackers who make these things don't have a clue. Divers carry underwater lights, right? This isn't rocket science. I thought divers' lights were self-contained, without wires coming out the backside. It still doesn't matter. There's a process known as "potting", which involves filling a device with epoxy to completely seal out the elements, or prevent arcing between adjacent circuit components. When I was just out of college, I worked for a company that made various electrical components, mostly for the military. This is exactly what we did to many of the devices, some of which had wires coming out of them. Companies who make so-called sealed tail lights simply haven't bothered to take the next step in terms of making their products work as advertised. |
