SAE Standard
Report of Lighting Division approved March 1918 and last revised by Lighting Committee December 1968.
Scope— Many of the lighting devices on motor vehicles are legally required and are essential to safe operation on the highway. To maintain performance, it is important that the bulb and sealed unit types employed be readily available, when needed. throughout the country in normal service channels. Therefore, this SAE Standard lists an assortment of current popular types, together with their characteristics. which are recommended for use wherever practicable. It is recognized that because of constantly changing and improving technology, the list may be incomplete. Also, instances may arise in the design of some devices which require the employment of other types while achieving the desired performance.
