The Origin of Light Check
The founder of Wolf Technologies, LLC, an outdoor enthusiast, has owned a boat and camper for many years. Trailer lights have a high failure rate and require frequent testing. Mr. Wolf was frustrated with the time, hassle and expense of testing trailer lights the normal way of needing a towing vehicle to connect to the trailer light wiring. Mr. Wolf first attempted to purchase a simple device that could be used to test trailer lights without a towing vehicle. After searching retailers and the Internet, the only such devices found were very expensive ones designed more for commercial trailers. Mr. Wolf built his own device to test trailer lights with components purchased at an electronics retailer. He rapidly realized the value and market potential of such a device and, with the assistance of an electronic engineering company, developed Light Check.
