Recently, Germany’s Transportation Safety Administration developed a set of laws that provide for large transportation trucks to be accompanied by smaller safety vehicles in order to protect against accidents with other vehicles. These smaller safety vehicles were designed to include large LED displays on both the front and back of the vehicle, which serve the purpose of alerting traffic to the approaching hazard. For the LED displays, VCC’s CLR 301 CTP was chosen as the panel lens.

The CLR 301 is a low-profile, button-type lens that is designed for use with 5mm LEDs. It has a smooth, clean look with a convex shaped surface protruding above the panel. This minimizes the potential problem of snagging or other interference that might result from varying environmental conditions.
