Hi Everybody,
I'm at the planning stages of my first Cargo Trailer build. I'm trying pick out lights, and I thought I was going to go to LEDs. However, as I learn more and more about them, they seem to offer very little light for the money. I saw in a thread from a few months ago, someone bought LEDs in the hopes that he could use them as dome lighting, only to find out they were only good for cabinets. When I looked at that page, they were rated at 35 Lumens.
During my research over the past few days, I see that, as a reference point, a 60watt bulb is about 750 Lumens. I had my eye on a few dome lights on eBay, but I don't see a lumen count on them.
I'm probably being nitpicky about how many amps I'm actually going to use, but I have a pretty big trailer. 20' x 8'6 x 8'high. I don't want to drain my batteries in one rainy night of sitting inside.
Is fluorescent the way to go?
