This presentation by Sandeep Saxena delves into the development of effective side turn signals for large trucks, emphasizing optical and engineering advancements. Key discussions include SAE specifications, the use of a 38 x 1/0.5 x 1.25 inch symmetrical lid with a flat lens, and the implications of zonal values and wide-angle testing. It explores crucial design techniques, including reflector layouts, tooling considerations, and the incorporation of LED technology from Nichia, achieving 20 lumens per LED while evaluating design strategies across varying geometries.
