I do not understand your question. The bike cycle post on the rear bumper is measured 4 foot, 4 inches above road level. To top of cross bar I welded on it for a light mounting base. I did not want to mount anything on the trailer walls. If I had a luggage rack with metal bars on the roof, that would be a good place to mount lights facing down, rear and sides. This was a small test project and for me it works great. I will someday dump the 55 watt lights and go LEDs with 4 total. 2 facing straight back and 2 left/right. Being able to see beyond the sides of the trailer near the rear is just a important as behind.
