What is the difference between SAE Class 1, SAE Class 2 and SAE Class 3 Warning Lamps?

The SAE classification system for warning lights is a classification of light intensity designed to help determine the best application for the lighting unit.

CLASS 3 WARNING LAMPS

Warning lights in the Class 3 designation have approximately 40% of the minimum intensity of Class 2 warning lights. Class 3 products are typically used inside of buildings where there is little or no ambient sunlight. An example of a Class 3 warning light application is a forklift strobe light.

 

 

 

CLASS 2 WARNING LAMPS
Warning lights in the Class 2 designation have a minimum of approximately 2.5 times the light intensity of a class 3 warning light. Examples of Class 2 warning light applications include utility vehicles that work along roadsides.

CLASS 1 WARNING LAMPS

Warning lights in the Class 3 designation have a minimum of 4 times the light intensity of a Class 2 warning light.
Examples of Class 1 warning light applications include emergency vehicles such as police, fire and ambulance.
The requirements for warning light classification requirements vary based upon the jurisdiction and application.
We recommend that you consult with your local jurisdiction to determine which classification of lights is appropriate for your application.
