Default Failing LED lights on an EZLoader trailer

Don't count on EZ-Loader or any other trailer maker to permanently fix the
problem for you.
Anyone that can operate a tube of sealer is capable of doing their own
waterproofing of led lamps. Incandescent lamps have another problem to deal
with. Immersing a hot one in cold water will cause it to crack.

You can make or buy temporary light sets that can be removed before dunking
the trailer.

My EZLoader trailer is only one year old and already half the
supposedly waterproof LED lights have failed. 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.




The trailer is still under warranty but I have heard that others who
have had them replaced by EZLoader repeat the problem. These LED
lights are expensive and should not fail so easily. I am a caver (not
a diver, cave diving is just slow motion suicide) and my waterproof
light that is subjected to amazing abuse getting beaten on every rock
around is still sealed (yes, it does have leads coming out to a gel
cell) so I assume it is possible to seal trailer lights.



Well, i sit corrected. How much does that waterproof caver's light sell
for?
