options for cargo door mounted LED stop light

**rar110** · 13th March 2014, 09:53 PM

I'm looking at mounting a 3rd stop light in the middle of the cargo door. The options I'm considering are:

inside the glass (flush mounted) at the top;
inside the glass at the bottom;
outside of the door at the top above the glass; and
outside the door just below the glass.

I'm probably leaning toward inside the glass at the top, but would like to hear opinions.

thanks

A completely different option is side emitting LED strip light. As the description suggests, the LED's point to one side of the strip, so I stuck some under the gutter above the door.
I can't find the record of where I bought it, but from memory it was 90cm long and 60 LED's per metre. I probably got it on Aliexpress.
You wouldn't even know it's there until it lights up.

Cheers, Murray

No, it has to be side emitting, so the LED's point at 90* to the surface it's stuck on, the one at your link is standard LED strip.
I did a search on Ebay, but there doesn't seem to be many on there Side Emitting LED Strip Red
