LED trailer lights question

[reedsposer22]

Why do LED lights not burn out when submerged, anyone know? Everyone says these are the way to go for trailer lights, but I cannot figure out why they do not burn out.

thanks

They are sealed and produce nearly zero heat. Absolutely love them. I never unplug my trailer.

You have to have all the connections of wires correct. Soldered, dielectric grease coated, shrink wrap tubing than taped. Should last the life of the payments!

I have a set of HF LED lights on my trailer. The other day I noticed the left light was damaged...looked like some one kicked it......it has a cracked case but still lights up.
The Right light has a problem. The ground wire is attached by just a few strands.....i tried to loosen the bolt but it just keeps turning. I looked inside and it's a round head bolt set into a plastic "sleeve.
How can I loosen it to reset the ground wire?

But caution, not all led sets are the same. I got a set and replaced them on my double ski trailer. They both have now filled up with water and blew out the fuse in my truck on the Norman meetup. I am sure I got the cheapest I could find (maybe harbor freight?) and of course paid the price. I need to replace both of them.

I'd have to look up where I ordered mine, but they are perfect. Not a drop internally. Plus, I spliced, soldered, and slid Heat Shrink tubing over the splices and then melted the tubing. Has worked well for two years now. Salt and fresh water..

Agreed ... I am also a big fan of liquid tape; apply it over the solder joint then heat shrink tubing. Over the years have seen some bad scenes relating to salt water and electrical connections.

I bought regular Advance Auto Parts lights. Someone backed out and swung too close and destroyed the left light! Went and got another one from them. Easy / Pesy! No searching, walked in and got it off the shelf. Bulbs are in their own little enclosure. Water tight.
