ABSTRACT:
A system and method for illuminating an area proximate a trailer, such as a boat or snowmobile trailer. At least one area illuminating light is connected to an area illuminating lighting control member. The area illuminating lighting control member receives and interprets trailer lighting control signals for determining when to activate and deactivate the area illuminating light. Control signals include is a trailer tow vehicle "lights on" condition combined with a second trailer lighting control signal, such as a "reverse lights on" indication, or indications from a water sensor or manual switch. The area illuminating lighting control member also receives a set of trailer lighting control signals for automatically deactivating the trailer illuminating lighting, including a "running light off" indication, a "brake lights on" indication, and/or a "turn signal lights on" indication. The trailer includes trailer lighting, which may optionally be deactivated by a disabling signal from the area illuminating lighting control member based on input from a sensor such as a water sensor.
