The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is a non-profit standards organisation. It has developed various standards for the assembly and manufacture of components for the automotive sector, which are mainly used in the USA and Canada. …

The SAE class indicates the brightness and thus the warning effect of a strobe. Three classes are subdivided.

Class 1:

Very bright strobes for use on …

Sealed beams are lights in which the components of the lighting group cannot be replaced in individual parts, but only as a complete unit. The light group of these sealed beams is specially sealed so that a good seal against environmental influences …

The service life of a product is the time that this product functions without the replacement of components. The service life depends on individual service and maintenance intervals. Depending on the product, the service life is specified in various measurands …

Sintering is a process step that is often used in metal 3D printing technologies to give powder components their final strength. This process results in a solid structure that is often highly dense. …

SLA (stereolithography) is a 3D printing process that uses a UV light or laser to cure liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer. The first patented form of 3D printing dates back to the 1980s and offers a high degree of precision and smooth surfaces.

SLM (Selective Laser Melting) is a metal-based 3D printing process in which a laser is used to selectively melt fine metal powder layer by layer to create a solid component.

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) is an additive manufacturing process in which a plastic powder – usually polyamide (nylon) or TPU – is heated and fused locally using a laser beam. In an industrial context, the term SLS is used primarily for plastics; for metal powders, the terms DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) or SLM (Selective Laser Melting) are often used more precisely. …

Smart backup alarms react to the environment. Via a built-in microphone, these warning sounders permanently measure the volume of the ambient noise. A built-in microprocessor then automatically adjusts the volume of the warning tone so …

The abbreviation SMD stands for surface-mounted device. This term, which originated in electronics, refers to components that are not inserted through a printed circuit board as in the past, but are soldered directly onto it.

An SMD LED is an LED manufactured in SMD construction. SMD LEDs are clearly superior to conventional wired LEDs in terms of brightness and efficiency.

The base of a lamp is called socket. It serves on the one hand as an electrical contact and on the other hand often also as a fastening. There are many different types of bases.

A spot is a beam pattern of a work light in which the entire light is focused on a narrow area in order to achieve maximum brightness there. Spots are particularly suitable when only very narrow areas need to be illuminated, e.g. as searchlights or mounted directly on the fork carriage of a forklift truck so that the spotlight moves with the load. …

Our products meet the specifications of various standards. These standards include:

• ECE regulations
• DOT
• …

Start switches are actually just simple switches for switching on a machine, e.g. an electric vehicle, but as a key switch they are protected against unauthorised operation (except for special variants with a rotary knob). They usually only have to …

As part of the tail light, the stop light indicates deceleration of the vehicle. The stop light must also provide good visibility in daylight.

Strobes are warning lights which, in contrast to the rotating beacon, do not emit their light signal continuously but as a very short flash. There are both strobes with a classic light bonnet, which emit their warning signal in a 360-degree circle, and unidirectional strobes, …
