Looking for center, rear brake/marker light for curved surface

"Anything I've considered so far would be pointing UP at the sky."

Funny image.

There's always a Clam Shell light. A different look, I know.

By the way, your camper is great and your work area rocks!

You may be right about using simple marker light. I now have a 12v line to that location (skin is off). Not so into reflective tape... But I have thought about a horizontal strip "bar" light which could surface mount easily.

Chametzoo,

Not sure if this is important to you, but I just looked at the rules for trailer lights and there's no provision for a single "third brake light" like on cars.

The rules say they should "On the rear - symmetrical - as far apart as practicable." That implies they should be in pairs. I'm not sure if a police officer would treat the rules as "minimum requirements" or not.

Obviously, it's a matter of choice whether or not to follow it, but FYI.

Thanks Brian.  I would imagine that is a minimum requirement.  If I were to put a third light up there, the trailer would be massively more visible, esp. in foggy conditions.

I'm also thinking about installing a brake light inside the back window. Maybe something longer and narrow so it's not too obvious when not in use.

Thanks…. these are all great suggestions. While this is a functional and safety need, it also occupies a fairly prominent place on the trailer and should be architecturally correct with the trailer's appearance. So, the ideas I'm hearing from you all start with a possible temporary light that is put in place only when towing. Another idea is to not try too hard to integrate the light, but have it on a bracket (like a license place light), with that bracket fastened within the mounting of the top of the window frame… or even on the inside of the window. Next… build a metal mounting base and cowl that would allow any surface mount light to be adapted to the slope of the surface. Ten, also suggested a row of three teardrop lights across the back. And finally, a 'strip' light innocuously mounted above the window. I might actually go for that last one if I could find a strip fixture that wasn't so cheesy looking.
