LED Trailer Lights Built for Every Moment After Dark
At 5280 Pit Lighting, we design LED Trailer Lights built to light up the night with clean, powerful brightness. Our pit lights are trusted on Racing Trailers, RV’s, Food Trucks & Canopies because they deliver dependable light exactly where you need it. We offer lighting solutions from 1ft to 10ft, along with an industry-leading magnetic line ranging from 1ft to 5ft for fast and secure setups. Every system comes with a unique mounting design, giving you the choice of standard or custom mounts on most orders. As the premier pit lighting provider across Colorado and the Midwest, we stand behind every product we ship. Each kit includes everything needed to get your pit lit in under five minutes, runs on 110V power, and is backed by a full 1-year warranty. All orders ship directly from Colorado from a locally owned and operated team dedicated to quality that lasts.

How We Got Our Start
5280 Pit Lighting was founded in 2021 by the father-son team Wayne & Nathan Appelhans. The idea started at Colorado National Speedway when a friend showed us his first setup, but the mounting options didn’t hold up to wind, rain, or long race nights. We saw a better way — so we built one. From there, we developed a rugged mounting system and crafted pit lights built to withstand the harshest conditions. As word spread, our reach expanded beyond Colorado, leading to track partnerships across Colorado and Kansas. Today, we also offer opportunities to become a dealer, giving racers and small businesses a chance to bring our lighting solutions to their own communities.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: build the toughest, brightest, and most reliable LED Trailer Lights racers and small businesses can count on. We’re here to deliver practical lighting that works every night, in every condition, without hassle. Through innovation, honesty, and hands-on testing, we aim to create dependable lighting solutions — whether you’re at the track, on the road, or working under a canopy.
