So I have a set of cheap led lights from tractor supply I put on my dump trailer. I was working in a couple pits in the early morning and couldn't see anything backing up. They are super bright and light up probably 50 to 60 feet behind me. I have them wired to separate plug on the front of the trailer and then a switch on the dash. The cheapest way to wire them that I have found is to pick up a 100ft outdoor extension cord, I cut the ends off and use it just for the wire. You can get a 100 feet of 3 wire for 10 to 20 bucks and its all jacketed just zip tie along with the other wiring under the trailer. Then its up to you, whether you use a separate connector or wire in a switched hot line.
Is this legal?

That's good thinking. It's hard to beat cheap and available outdoor extension cord for stuff like this.
feldsforever Thanks this. -
In NJ you are allowed to have as many lights installed with out question BUT they all have to work.

Unless, of course, you can point to a law that claims that. So far no one has been able to. -
ZVar Thanks this.
