Trailer lighting

anyone have or know who makes bright low draw lights for under your awning. I had the 500w halogen bulbs and they worked but big draw on the generator. Changed over to that led one that was all the rage about 2 years ago but those aren't bright at all. It takes almost 2 to 1 to get the same amount of brightness. I have a pro awning now and don't want to string 4 ft lights everywhere so I can
Service the car. Anyone have something that works without running cords everywhere.

 

LED OR FLORESENT..we use 8 foot florescent and love them..dave

 

I'm running out of room in my trailer. Nota stacker and last time my crew guy had 4 footers tied to the wall and they all broke by time we got to the track. It was a mess. Lowes sold work lamp led but they were almost nothing for light. 2000 watts of halogens will make my generator and neighbors hate me at the track.

 

I have great light using 8 foot fluorescents with 4 tube t8s. Get a box for the tubes from the local hardware store or local electric wholesale house. That will keep the bulbs from breaking during transit. You can put long cords on the end of each and couple them together and only have to have 1 plug in. This combo will use around 130 watts per light. Hope this helps.

 

I use 8 ft LED tubes that are about the size of t5 bulbs. Each one puts out about 4000 lumens, equivalent to a t8 bulb. They all daisy chain together with either butt connectors or various length patch cords. I have 12 of them pulling about 5 amps in my 1200 sq ft shop. They're all on the same switch.

While you'll probably have to use a couple more than the super high output style, they'll use less energy and if you spread them out you won't have shadows.

PM me and I can get you more information.
