Trailer Under-Glow Light Kit

We manufacture two styles of LED strips. One is our LOW PROFILE (LP) LED Strip. The other is our HEAVY DUTY (HD) LED Strip. Which style you choose depends mostly on your operating environment. For commercial trucks/trailers or if you're operating in harsh outdoor conditions, we typically recommend using our HEAVY DUTY LED (HD) strips. They're more expensive and take longer to install but they're more durable than our LOW PROFILE LED Strips. For recreational applications or if durability isn't a factor and/or budget is an issue, then our LOW PROFILE (LP) LED strips are the easiest to install. Specifications for each LED strip style are as follows:

Low-Profile (LP): Our Low Profile LEDs are 'low profile' for easy-to-conceal placement. IP65 rated. RGB and Single color low profile LED strip width is 3/8" (10mm). RGBW (RGB + Soft White), RGBA (RGB + Amber) width is about 1/2" (12mm). Height is 1/8" (3mm). LEDs are mounted on BLACK PCB.  Lengths of the low profile LED strips vary based on the number of LEDs ordered. For this product, we offer our Low Profile LED strips one foot increments up to 16' long (no, they cannot be daisy chained together). The LED strip can be cut in the field if needed. Each Low Profile LED strip has a 36" power lead hard wired to it. The other end of the power lead is bare wire.

Heavy Duty (HD): Our Heavy Duty LED strips are IP67 rated and use the same LEDs and PCB as our low-profile LEDs however they're encased in PVC rubber for more protection. This makes them wider and taller than our low profile strips. RGB and Single color Heavy Duty LED strip width is .50" wide and .25" tall. The RGBA (RGB + Amber) Heavy Duty LED strip width is 11/16" wide (almost .75" wide) and 1/4" tall. Our Heavy Duty LED strips are available in these five fixed lengths: 12", 22", 32", 42" and 52". They cannot be cut. They cannot be produced in longer lengths. Only these five lengths.  LEDs are mounted on Black PCB. Each Heavy Duty LED strip has a 36" power lead hard wired to it. The other end of the power lead is bare wire.

This product can be configured to fit just about any 2 or 3 axle trailer. For our LOW PROFILE style led strips, the kit allows for a total of 14 LED segments. For our HEAVY DUTY style led strips, there are up to 26 LED segments (see layout diagrams). See diagrams below. You'll need to measure the mounting surface you have available and then based on those measurements, order the length of LED strips needed to cover that area. Note that you don't have to use all LED segments. The point is that the length, number of, how and where you mount these LED strips is totally up to you. The LED strips don't care where you mount them as long as you make sure to mount them to a straight, flat, rigid, flat surface. Details of the mounting restrictions can be found in the install docs provided on this product page. We suggest reviewing them before purchasing. In some cases you may need to build out the mounting surface using aluminum, wood or similar structure. It all depends on the construction of your trailer and where you are mounting the LED strips.

For our LOW PROFILE LED STRIPS, The maximum length of a single LED strip is 16'. For HEAVY DUTY, the maximum length is 52 inches. Sorry -- they cannot be built longer (details as to why can be found further down on this product page). For longer distances, use multiple lengths which is one of the reasons why this kit offers up to 14 (or 26) LED strips total. Each LED strip comes with a 3' power lead permanently attached to one end of the LED strip. The other end is bare; no connector. It is intended to be hard wired into the wiring harness. We include additional feeder cable with the kit for use in connecting the LED strips and running the wiring harness up to the tongue of the trailer.

For multi-color RGB/RGBx configurations, you'll need an LED Controller. The LED controller is intended to be mounted in the tow vehicle. It should not be mounted on the trailer itself unless the mounting location is protected from the elements; mainly water. The LED controller cannot be submerged. If you are purchasing the multi-color (RGB/RGBx) version of this Under-Glow light kit with our Landing Strip light kit - or, you already have a Boogey Lights® LED controller - you can order the RGB/RGBx version of this kit without a controller.

Once you've made your selection, click ADD TO CART and check out. As an option, we can take your order over the phone too (800.847.1359 M-F, 9-6 eastern). Just make sure you have your measurements ready.

It's important when measuring your trailer to examine the mounting area you have available. When doing so, make sure the area where you will be attaching the LED strip is clean, straight, smooth and rigid. The LED strip MUST be mounted flat against a single continuous, rigid mounting surface, in a straight line; it cannot bend around a radius or corners. Plus, the entire strip needs to be stuck to the mounting surface and not span across mounting surfaces. If you do, the strip will almost certainly fail in the spot that isn't affixed firmly to the mounting surface or, the point at which is spans across the two mounting surfaces. If you don't have a smooth, flat, rigid, contiguous mounting surface we recommend riveting or screwing aluminum, plastic L channel or similar to the trailer's cross member support beams and then mount the LED strip to that surface. The point is to carefully examine the mounting locations for your trailer when you're taking these measurements before placing your order.

Once you have identified the mounting locations and have your measurements, you're ready to place your order using this product page. You'll notice each LED strip segment on this product page has a drop down box listing the available lengths for every LOW PROFILE LED STRIP or HEAVY DUTY LED STRIP depending on the LED Style you've selected. For those LED segments that don't apply to your trailer, simply leave them set to 'none'. For each LED segment, select the corresponding LED length from the drop down.

Some are required. Some are optional. Refer to the following for details on each of the product options offered.

LED STYLE: Select from LOW PROFILE (LP) or HEAVY DUTY (HD). See detailed explaination above for the differences between these two LED styles and how it might impact your lighting project.

NUMBER OF AXLES: Select from 2 or 3. This selection only impacts the number of Wheel Well lights offered.

LED COLOR OPTIONS: This option tells us what color format you want for your light kit. There are three multi-color, seven dual color options and eight single color options. We have a detailed discussion about these LED color options further down on this product page. Be sure to read it. It's important. If you select any of the three multi-color options, you'll be presented with the option to make an LED CONTROLLER selection (essential to operate RGBx LEDs). If you select any of the dual color or single color options, you'll be presented with a switching option.

CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION: The controller configuration will vary based on your LED color selection. More information about these options are further down on this product page. Be sure to review them.

LED STRIP LENGTHS: Depending on the LED Strip Style you select, there will be either 14 or 26 possible LED strip lengths you can order on this kit. Using the drop down box select the length of the LED strip you want for each LED strip. For any unused LED lengths, leave set to 'NONE'.

RGB, RGBA or RGBW MULTI-COLOR OPTION: The multi-color RGB LED version provides over 16 million color combinations that you control and includes its own on/off wireless switch. The multi-color RGB, RGBA and RGBW kits include our GEN2 Heavy Duty combo Bluetooth + RF controller so you can control the lights with your Bluetooth enabled smartphone or the included wireless RF G2 M7 remote control. The CONTROLLERS navigation tab on this product page has additional details. With any of the Boogey Lights® BLUETOOTH controllers you can control your lights with your Bluetooth enabled Android or IOS smartphone. These high-tech controllers are capable of displaying 16 million different color combinations. In addition, lighting effects on the Smartphone controller are significantly more controllable in terms of speed and intensity. Each color and lighting effect is controlled by "sliders" or a color square on your smartphone screen so you can adjust the speed and intensity to get the lighting exactly the way you want it. Our controllers operate on 12vdc. Also, all of our Bluetooth Combo controllers include an RF remote control allowing for quick on/off of the controller. You can operate this controller with the included RF wireless remote OR you can use your Bluetooth enabled smartphone and our free smartphone APP (Android and IOS). Boogey Lights® RF Controllers will display seven colors (steady on + four lighting effects): RED, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE, LIGHT BLUE, BOOGEY LIGHTS GREEN (LIME GREEN/YELLOW), HOT PINK/PURPLE. The lighting effects options for our RF Controller include: DIMMING, BLENDING, BREATHING, STROBING. In the Blending, Breathing and Strobing modes these features can be set to remain on a single color or to cycle through each of the 7 colors. You can also adjust the speed at which this happens. The RF remote control offers SEVEN levels lighting effects (e.g. 7 levels of dimming). For the DUAL ZONE Heavy Duty LED controller, these functions work independently per zone OR both zones together.  

Quick Switch: The Quick Switch feature comes standard on our HEAVY DUTY SINGLE ZONE and HD DUAL ZONE LED Controllers (all RGBx controllers).  Whatever color LED you have connected to the WHITE output wire on the controller is the color that will display when the Quick Switch is triggered with 12vdc +.  The most common use for this configuration is with commercial vehicles who want to be able to instantly turn off whatever color they're running and turn on a DOT compliant AMBER which is on our RGBA LED strips. For these installations, the yellow trigger wire is connected to a toggle switch or other wireless switch that activates the AMBER leds.   When the Quick Switch trigger wire is not energized, the LED controller operates the RGBxx diodes normally. NOTE: This Quick Switch feature eliminates the need to use a relay for RGBA LEDs.

Single Zone or Dual Zone: If ordering RGB or RGBA, you have your choice of a SINGLE ZONE or DUAL ZONE GEN2 Heavy Duty LED Controller. As the name suggests, a SINGLE ZONE controller has one lighting zone. All LEDs wired to that zone display the same color and features. For DUAL ZONE, there are two distinct lighting zones. All LEDs wired to Zone 1 operate the same. All LEDs wired to Zone 2 operate the same. Each zone can be used independently or together.

If you're ordering any of the Single Color or Dual-Color LED color options, you'll be presented with the option to add our Dual Zone Controller to the order. This is an option. The default is 'none'. If selecting the Dual Zone Controller with any of the single color or dual-color options, you'll receive our Strobing Dual Zone single color controller. Designed primarily for commercial, working truck applications this heavy duty LED controller is ideal for situations where you need to control (on/off), strob or flash large numbers of single color LEDs. A typical scenario is with wide load truck haulers, wreckers and tow trucks. A typical scenario is with wide load truck haulers, wreckers and tow trucks. The unique dual zone capability allows the lights to be segregated into two distinct lighting zones if that's what you want to do.

For example zone one might be red LEDs and zone two amber LEDs. Another option could be to assign the two zones into LEDs mounted on different parts of the trailer (underglow = blue, landing strip lighting = amber). The options are endless. Each zone can be operated independently or together. In addition to ON/OFF control, STROBING and FLASHING, there's a STEADY-ON mode that offers dimming. All of these features are operated using the included wireless RF handheld remote.

Each zone will support up to 1500 tri-chip 5050 LEDs (20Amps) which means a total of 3000 tri-chip LEDs on a single LED controller. The operating modes include strobing, 3 burst flash and solid on. The speed can be adjusted and there's a brightness setting too. All of these features are operated using the included wireless RF hand held remote. This controller includes our Quick-Switch feature which when paired with a simple on/off switch will allow the controller to be turned on/off via a hard wired switch (mounted on the dash for example) as well.

The CONTROLLERS navigation tab on this product page has additional details on this controller option.

Single colors are going to be brighter than RGB (multi-color) LEDs. The reason is that in an RGB LED there are three diodes: red, green and blue. The LED controller mixes those three colors to create other colors. For example, equal amounts of red + green + blue = white. In a single color LED, all three diodes are the same color. So in a single color white LED, there are three white LEDs which is much brighter than an RGB led mixed to show white. If you're looking for the absolute brightest color for your trailer, go with single color. If however you want to be able to change the colors from time to time, go with RGB. Just be aware that the RGB version of isn't as bright as the single color version. The single color version is available in your choice of one of seven super-bright colors: Amber, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, White or Pink.

RGB / Multi-Color: For RGB led lighting an LED Controller is needed to operate the lights. The controller is what operates the lights and mixes the colors. In addition to providing a wireless on/off capability, the LED controllers offered allow you to control your lights with your Bluetooth 4.0 enabled smart phone and our free smart phone APP (Android and IOS) OR the included RF wireless remote. With the included RF remote you can change between 7 colors (white, red, blue, green, light blue, lime green, pink) and functions of on/off, blending, strobing, breathing, flashing, fading and dimming. You can also use your Bluetooth enabled smart phone to create that custom look with over 16 million different color combinations plus three pre-sets along with color rotation programming with either 2 or 3 color sets. There is significantly more detail on the BLUETOOTH APP navigation tab on this product page. Since our Dual Color products use the RGB chip on the RGBA led strip, it is considered a multi-color product even though you don't need an LED controller to operate.

NOTE: If purchasing RGB, be aware that an RGB LED cannot create the color orange. It can come close but not exact. Why? As mentioned previously, RGB leds have three color DIODES: RED, GREEN and BLUE. It's the mixing of these three colors together that create other colors. The color ORANGE is created by mixing RED + YELLOW. The color YELLOW is created by mixing RED + GREEN. With an RGB LED, there is only one RED diode so it can only be used once. To get something that looks more like orange to the human eye using RGB LEDs you need to mix equal amounts of RED + GREEN (actually just a bit less green since the human eye is more sensitive to green wavelengths). This will give you the color YELLOW. Then, increase the intensity of the RED just a little (or, pull back the green). This will essentially add a little red to the yellow to effectively mix a color that has an orange tint which is closer to AMBER. It's not perfect but it's as close as you can get to the color orange using RGB led lights. If a true orange color is important to you, purchase the RGBA LEDs instead. Mixing Red and Amber produces a vibrant orange.

For the three multi-color LED options, this kit offers both SINGLE ZONE and DUAL ZONE controller options. As the names suggest, a Single Zone controller has just one single lighting zone. All LEDs wired to the controller are on one zone. Whatever color or feature set you apply will be what you get on all leds. Pretty simple. With our Dual Zone controller, you can set up and operate two distinct lighting zones which can be operated and controlled individually or together. On a Dual Zone controller each lighting zone is capable of supporting up to 1500 LEDs for a total of 3000 LEDs. It will work with your Android® or iOS® Smart phone. It will also work with the included M7 Style RF wireless remote. Details on features are below.

GEN2 LED CONTROLLERS

Bluetooth + RF Combo Wireless Control

The LED Controllers offered in this kit are our GEN2 Single Zone and Dual Zone Heavy Duty Bluetooth COMBO LED Controllers. COMBO means they can be operated using either the included M7 RF wireless hand held remote OR your Bluetooth enable smart phone (and our free APP). Both will work. The RGB version is capable of displaying 16 million different color combinations. The GEN2 RGBx version can display even more color combinations depending on the type of LED strips connected to them. In addition, lighting effects on the Bluetooth controller are significantly more controllable in terms of speed and intensity. Each color and lighting effect is controlled by "sliders" or a color square on your smart phone screen so you can adjust the speed and intensity to get the lighting the way you want it.

This light kit is offered in eight single color options, seven dual color options and in three multi-color configurations: RGB, RGBW (RGB + warm white) and RGBA (RGB + amber).

For the single color and dual color options you can select a simple on/off switch or a wireless controller.

For the multi-color RGB options, you have the same capabilities as the single color however the feature set is significantly expanded since you also have the ability to change/adjust/tweak the colors you want to display. RGB stands for Red Green Blue. It's the mixing of these three primary colors together that will produce up to 16 million different color options. To mix and produce these colors however you need an LED controller which is why when you select any of the RGB or RGBx color options you'll also be prompted to make a LED Controller selection. The Boogey Lights® LED controllers offered are both RF wireless + Bluetooth enabled controllers. With the included RF wireless remote you can change between 7 pre-set colors (Red, Green, Blue, White 6000K, Light Blue, Lime Green/Yellow, Hot Pink/Purple) and functions of on/off, blending, strobing, breathing, flashing, fading and dimming. You can also use your Bluetooth enabled smart phone to create a custom look. The Bluetooth APP allows you to program the RGB diodes of any of our RGB, RGBW and RGBA strips with over 16 million different color combinations plus three pre-sets. Also, the Bluetooth APP offers 2 and 3 color rotation programming along with two timer features. Click the BLUETOOTH APP navigation tab on this product page for significantly more information on both the Bluetooth capabilities and APP functionality (including a video showing how the Bluetooth APP works)

RGBW: On the RGBW led strip, in addition to RGB, you get one extra diode which is Warm White. That warm white diode has a Kelvin temperature of 2400 which means it has a yellowish look giving it a warmer, softer, candle like look (see photo below). That fourth diode on the RGBW led strip can be wired directly to our GEN2 LED Controller which supports RGBx LEDs. As an option, you could also wire that fourth diode to a completely separate on/off switch. Your choice. You could also use the Quick-Switch feature with this fourth diode too.

RGBA: On the RGBA led strip, in addition to RGB, you get one extra diode which is AMBER. That fourth diode on the RGBA led strip can be wired directly to our GEN2 LED Controller which supports RGBx LEDs. As an option, you could also wire that fourth diode to a completely separate on/off switch. Your choice. You could also use the Quick-Switch feature with this fourth diode too.

RGBA is a LED strip format Boogey Lights® developed. It is available in both our Low Profile and Heavy Duty LED strip formats. The RGBA led strip includes our core RGB tri-chip technology using a 5050 RGB LED with the addition of a fourth 2835 diode that is AMBER. Designed primarily for motor vehicle applications, that fourth AMBER diode can be wired to a separate switch on the dash (or tied into a relay to work with existing running lights) that allows you to quickly and easily turn on just the AMBER leds. Then, for those who want the flexibility to be able to display up to 16 million color combinations using the RGB tri-chip, they can do that too. RGB + A provides the best of both worlds. Single color amber plus RGB tri-chip multi-color. The product photo carousel of this product page includes a close-up view of the LED strip design and wiring diagram. Note that due to the addition of that fourth diode, the RGBA strips are a little wider than our standard tri-chip RGB and single color LED strips.  Also, the power lead wires use five conductor vs four. For additional information including product specs, click the SPECS navigation tab on this product page.

On the RGBW led strip, in addition to RGB, you get one extra diode which is Warm White. That warm white diode has a Kelvin temperature of 2400 which means it has a yellowish look giving it a warmer, softer, candle like look (see photo below). That fourth diode on the RGBW led strip can be wired directly to our GEN2 LED Controller which supports RGBx LEDs. As an option, you could also wire that fourth diode to a completely separate on/off switch. Your choice. You could also use the Quick-Switch feature with this fourth diode too.

The Dual Color LED configuration uses our RGBA LED strip but instead of pairing that LED strip with an RGB LED controller (to mix up to 16 million different color combinations), we hard wire a combination of one, two or all three of the RGB diodes (red, green or blue) along with the AMBER diode to two on/off switches. One switch operates the primary color diode(s). The other switch operates the amber diode. There are a total of seven Dual Color configuration options: RED+AMBER, GREEN+AMBER, BLUE+AMBER, MAGENTA+AMBER, YELLOW+AMBER, CYAN+AMBER, WHITE+AMBER. With a Dual Color configuration you don't need an LED Controller. Instead, you only need two switches (and relays); one to control each color. The primary color is chosen from the available dual color drop down list. The secondary color is always amber. Note: The Dual Color options includes one ON-OFF-ON 3 way toggle switch and two, 30 amp relays.
