An electronic accelerometer-based tilt switch for vehicles is capable of controlling the state of an electrical circuit according to the angle of inclination of the switch, for example to control power to a lamp. The switch includes a housing mountable to a vehicle member that is movable between a first position and a second position. When the vehicle member is in the first position it is at a predetermined angle of inclination versus when the vehicle member is in the second position. The housing may include an accelerometer and a control circuit to receive signals from the accelerometer indicative of an instant angle of inclination of the vehicle member and to switch the state of the electrical circuit between first and second states corresponding to first and second positions of the vehicle member.

In one embodiment, a linear light emitting device comprises one or more linear extrusions collectively comprising a horizontal mounting extension, an array of light emitting diodes, a vertical support, and a linear support platform. In one embodiment, the light emitting device comprises a mounting extension that extends from the light emitting device for the bottom surface of the mounting extension to be mounted to a top rail of a vehicle cargo compartment (such as a trailer or cargo compartment of a truck) and a vertical support that positions a linear array of light emitting diodes above the top rail and oriented at a first orientation angle, such as 45 degrees, to the bottom surface of the horizontal mounting surface. In one embodiment, the linear light emitting device is mounted between two roof bows or below one or more roof bows.
