How many LED lights can be out to consider a trailer light out-of-service? | FE Unscripted

The headline is a question that's on a TMC taskforce docket, and one that Al Anderson, vice president of sales and marketing, Peterson Mfg. Co., has a keen interest in. "We haven't finished the recommended practice yet, but we're trending towards some percentage of LEDs being out before it's not legal anymore, which therefore it's not safe anymore," he said, standing inside the Peterson Mfg. Co. show trailer at this year's TMC show held in New Orleans. "Keeping trailer lights lit is vital to uptime because you're not going to get a violation, you're not going to get an infraction, you're not going to be put out of service by CVSA. It is just very critical to keep everything illuminated like it should." He makes a good point: Worry about keeping all your LED lights not and not on how you keep up with the bare minimum safety requirement. Proper trailer equipment spec'ing and preventative maintenance makes that happen. Corrosion, often exacerbated by chemicals like magnesium chloride for example, is a primary concern for wiring harness systems. The shift towards modular wiring harness systems has strengthened maintenance strategies and beefed up the arsenal in the fight against corrosion's impact on trailer lighting performance. Instead of replacing entire systems, modular systems offer the ability to address only damaged sections.
