1. What is ECE R65?
   

The ECE R65 standard is a European directive that prescribes how warning lights, such as beacons, flashers, and other signaling products, must perform to be effective under various lighting conditions. This means that every product designed and manufactured by AEB is tested for visibility, light intensity, and light distribution, both during the day and at night.

At AEB, we see this standard not only as an obligation but as an opportunity to provide the market with high-quality signaling products that prioritize safety. Our products meet this standard to ensure that emergency services, commercial vehicles, and other vehicles can operate safely under different conditions.

2. R65 Class 1 – Reliability and Visibility for Standard Applications

Class 1 within the ECE R65 standard is intended for warning lights typically used during the day, where direct, intense lighting conditions are less critical. Products certified as Class 1 are clearly visible during normal daylight conditions, but their intensity is slightly lower than that of Class 2.

At AEB, we understand that reliable signaling is crucial, even under normal conditions. Therefore, our Class 1 products are optimized to provide a strong balance between visibility and energy efficiency. This makes them ideal for vehicles that occasionally use signaling lights and where continuous high intensity is not always required, such as transport vehicles, maintenance vehicles, and agricultural machinery.

3. R65 Class 2 – Extra Intensity for Demanding Situations 
   Class 2 within the ECE R65 standard provides extra brightness and visibility for situations where warning lights must perform under challenging conditions, such as bright sunlight or adverse weather. These lights feature a dual-mode function, allowing them to switch between day and night modes. This way, the intensity can be adjusted according to the environment, ensuring safe and optimal visibility without causing glare.

For AEB, Class 2 products are not just an addition to our range but an essential part of our mission to improve road safety. Our Class 2 signaling solutions are designed for intensive use and are suitable for emergency vehicles, traffic management, and other critical applications where maximum visibility is essential. We thoroughly test and optimize these products to ensure they remain reliable, even in the toughest conditions.
