				  installed so as not to exceed a total vehicle width of 2.44 m (96 in.).
				  Installations that cause buses less than 2.03 m (80 in.) wide to equal or
				  exceed 2.03 m (80 in.) will make necessary the installation of clearance and
				  sidemarker lamps.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
School bus strobe lamps shall be installed as
					 follows:
(a) Location. The lamp shall
				  be installed on the rooftop at or behind the center of the roof and equidistant
				  from each side.
(b) Height. The top
				  of the light-generating element inside the lamp shall not extend above the
				  rooftop more than 1/20th of its horizontal distance from the rear of the bus.
				  For the purpose of this section, the rear of the bus is defined as the vertical
				  plane in contact with the rear most portion of the body. If a bus is equipped
				  with roof mounted school bus signs or other vertical obstructions, the
				  light-generating element may extend above the level of the signs or
				  obstructions not to exceed 1/20th of its distance from the rear of the bus. In
				  no case shall strobe lamps be mounted so as to exceed the maximum height limits
				  specified in Vehicle Code Section
				  35250.
(c) Mounting. The vertical axis of the lamp
				  shall be installed perpendicular to the surface of the road.
(d) Switch and Pilot Indicator. The lamp
				  shall be activated by a manual switch labeled with the word "strobelamp,"
				  "strobe lamp," "strobe light," "strobe," or some other readily understood term
				  which clearly and unambiguously identified the strobe light function and
				  distinguishes it from other warning lamps and devices with which the vehicle is
				  equipped, and independent of all other switches. In addition, the system shall
				  have a nonglaring amber or white pilot indicator that is clearly visible to the
				  driver and that is lighted whenever the strobe lamp is lighted.

				  bus.
(b) Operating Switches. School
				  bus warning lamp switches operated manually by the driver shall be located
				  within easy reach of the driver's position.
(c) Pilot Indicator. A bright visible
				  flashing signal not less than 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) in diameter shall be included
				  in the circuit to give a clear and unmistakable indication to the driver when
				  the warning signals are turned on. The indicator shall not be obscured from the
				  driver's view by any part of the vehicle.
(d) Spacing and Visibility. Front and rear
				  warning lamps shall be spaced as far apart laterally as is practicable, and in
				  no case shall the distance between lamps be less than 100 cm (39 in.).
				  Visibility of front and rear warning lamps shall be unobstructed by any part of
				  the vehicle from 5 deg above to 10 deg below horizontal and from 30 deg to the
				  right to 30 deg to the left of the center line of the lamps.
(e) Warning Lamp Installation Dates. Warning
				  lamps installed on school buses after 1965 shall be red Class C warning lamps.
				  Those installed before 1966 and meeting requirements in effect at time of
				  installation may continue to be used on the school buses on which they were
				  installed.

California Code of Regulations › Title 13 - Motor Vehicles › Division 2 - Department of the California Highway Patrol › Chapter 2 - Lighting Equipment › Article 16 - Reserve Lighting and Outage Indicating Systems › Section 772 - General Requirements

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Operating Unit. The operating unit may consist of individual circuits to
				  operate only the headlamps or only the taillamps. If the operating unit
				  combines both circuits, it shall have independent headlamp and rear lamp
				  circuits so that failure in one circuit will not affect the other
				  circuit.
(b) Outage Indicators.
				  Outage shall be indicated by two separate lamps, one each for the headlamp and
				  the rear lighting circuits. Required visual indicators may be supplemented by
				  audible indicators. Each required indicator shall consist of a lamp with an
				  illuminated area not less than that of a circle with a 4.8-mm (0.19-in.)
				  diameter, and each indicator shall give a clear and unmistakable signal to the
				  driver as follows:
(1) Headlamp Circuits. One
				  white lamp shall indicate outage in the upper or the lower beam headlamp
				  circuit, whichever is in use.
(2)
				  Rear Lamp Circuits. One red lamp shall indicate outage in the taillamp circuit
				  or failure of the stoplamp fuse or switch. For multicompartment or multiple
				  rear lamps, only the outboard sections or lamps need an outage
				  indicator.
California Code of Regulations › Title 13 - Motor Vehicles › Division 2 - Department of the California Highway Patrol › Chapter 2 - Lighting Equipment › Article 16 - Reserve Lighting and Outage Indicating Systems › Section 773 - Operating Requirements

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Normal Operation. When headlamps are operating normally, the headlamp outage
				  indicator shall operate at not less than 10% nor more than 20% of the normal
				  voltage used to indicate an outage. When taillamps are operating normally, the
				  rear lamp outage indicator shall operate only when the foot brake is
				  applied.
(b) Circuit Failure. When
				  lamps are turned on, the outage system shall respond to circuit failure by
				  continuing the normal display of any unfailed lamp, energizing the appropriate
				  inactive lamp filaments, and indicating the failure to the driver. A "headlamp
				  circuit failure" exists when one-half or more of the upper or lower beam
				  filaments have failed. A "taillamp circuit failure" exists when one-half or
				  more of the taillamp filaments have failed. A "stoplamp circuit failure" exists
				  when the stoplamp switch or fuse fails.
(c) Headlamp Outage. Failure in the lower
				  beam headlamp as defined in preceding subsection (b) shall cause the outage
				  system to activate the upper beam circuit at a decreased voltage. Failure in
				  the upper beam headlamp shall cause the outage system to activate the lower
				  beam circuit at a decreased voltage. Such failure in lower or upper headlamp
				  beam shall be indicated by the continuous steady-on or flashing of the headlamp
				  circuit outage indicator.
(d)
				  Taillamp Outage. Failure of the taillamp circuit shall cause the outage system
				  to activate the stoplamp circuit at a decreased voltage. Such failure shall be
				  indicated by the continuous steady-on or flashing of the rear lighting outage
				  indicator at not more than one-third of its normal brilliancy.
(e) Stoplamp Outage. Normal activation of the
				  stoplamp circuit shall operate the rear lighting indicator at normal brilliancy
				  during application of the service brake. Failure of the stoplamp filament,
				  switch, or fuse shall cause loss of this indication.
(f) Alternate Circuit. Reserve lamps in the
				  alternate circuit shall be capable of automatically performing the design
				  function as well as compensating for the outage.
(g) Operating Unit Voltage Drop. Voltage
				  drops across headlamp and rear lamp sections of the operating unit shall not
				  exceed the following values for each normally operating function when the lamps
				  are operated at design voltage:
0.40 V for two lamps
0.45 V for three lamps
0.50 V for four lamps
0.60 V for six lamps or more

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
When the alternate circuit lamps are connected and the
					 design voltage is applied to the input terminals of the device, voltages at
					 output terminals shall be as follows:
(a) Headlamps--Lower Beam Outage Compensated
				  by Upper Beam. Voltage to the upper beam filaments as reserve lower beam
				  headlamps when one-half or more of the lower beam filaments fail shall be not
				  more than 50% nor less than 40% of the design voltage of the upper beam
				  filament.
(b) Headlamps--Upper Beam
				  Outage Compensated by Lower Beam. Voltage to the lower beam filaments as
				  reserve upper beam headlamps when one-half or more of the upper beam filaments
				  fail shall be not less than 75% of the design voltage of the lower beam
				  filament.
(c) Taillamps--Outage
				  Compensated by Stoplamps. Voltage to the stoplamp filaments as reserve
				  taillamps shall be not more than 50% nor less than 40% of the design voltage of
				  the stoplamp filament.
