	Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp (usually seen abbreviated as CHMSL) is a third stop lamp, or brake light, mounted on the rear of a vehicle.
		It is possible that today, familiarity with the third stop lamp has reached the extent that drivers may indeed not respond quickly enough if an older vehicle without such a lamp decelerates in front of them, since the familiar cue is absent.
		The stop lamps on vehicles are traditionally placed in the same housing as the tail lights and turn signals.

	CHMSLCHP1
		CHMSL are red stop lamps mounted on the center line of the rear of a vehicle, generally higher than the stop lamps on the sides of that vehicle.
		The CHMSL, in combination with the two lower side mounted lamps, forms a triangle which could be an additional cue to get the driver's attention.
		Some taxis were equipped with CHMSL or other distinctive stop lamps, while a control group of the same makes, models and driver characteristics had conventional stop lamps.

	Center Brake Lights Prevents Crashes, Save Millions in Property Damage
		Center high-mounted stop lamps (CHMSL), which are installed higher and midway between the rear brake lights to form a triangular pattern, have been standard equipment required on all new passenger cars sold in the United States since model year 1986 and on all new light trucks since model year 1994.
		A new study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) measuring the long-term effectiveness of center high mounted stop lamps in passenger cars and light trucks found that these lights each year prevent thousands of motor vehicle crashes and injuries and more than a half billion dollars in property damage costs.
		"Safety is President Clinton's highest transportation priority, and the center high-mounted stop lamp is an excellent example of a device that provides significant safety benefits at a fraction of its cost to consumers," said Ricardo Martinez, M.D., NHTSA administrator.

	A one Dollar Compound Microscope
		In these illuminating systems, close to the lamp, there is also a field diaphragm which can limit the illuminated zone to a little circular area in the center of the observation field.
		High quality microscopes are usually equipped with a mechanism to make coarse and fine adjustments to the focus.
		As shown in Figure 12, this is the distance between the stop of the objective and that of the eyepiece.

	The Straight Dope: Does the center high-mounted stop lamp reduce rear end collisions? What are growing pains?
		It has been over ten years since the U.S. government mandated that all cars be equipped with a "center high-mounted stop lamp" or "CHMSL," as it is referred to in my vehicle's shop manual.
		Does the center high-mounted stop lamp reduce rear-end collisions?
		The CHMSL, of course, is the little red brake light that is mounted in the rear window of a car to catch the attention of drivers who might not notice your side-mounted brake lights.

	Title 49 Part 571 Section 108
		S5.3.1.8 (a) Each high-mounted stop lamp installed in or on a vehicle subject to S5.1.1.27(a) shall be located as follows: (1) With its center at any place on the vertical centerline of the vehicle, including the glazing, as the vehicle is viewed from the rear.
		Cargo lamp is a lamp that is mounted on a multipurpose passenger vehicle, truck, or bus for the purpose of providing illumination to load or unload cargo.
		S5.1.1.1 A truck tractor need not be equipped with turn signal lamps mounted on the rear if the turn signal lamps at or near the front are so constructed (double-faced) and so located that they meet the requirements for double-faced turn signals specified in SAE Standard J588e, Turn Signal Lamps, September 1970.

	Patent 5347435: Linear lamp holographic trapped beam center high mounted stoplight
		The selection of such parameters is described more fully in the pending application entitled "Trapped Beam Holographic Center High Mounted Stoplight," by R. Smith, A. Daiber, M. McDonald, and A. Au, filed Apr. 16, 1990, as application serial number 07/519,319, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
		Thus, in the case of the CHMSL, where the playback illumination is incident from the top of the hologram 62, the density or frequency of the dots in the mask is highest adjacent the top of the hologram, and decreases to the lowest density adjacent the lower part of the hologram.
		However, to produce a high voltage from the vehicle battery supply would typically require converting the battery voltage to an AC signal, applying the AC voltage to a transformer to transform the signal into a high voltage, and then rectify the resulting voltage to obtain the signal to be applied to the bulb.

	Draft Report to Congress on the Costs and Benefits of Federal Regulations
		A comparison of NHTSA's prospective with its retrospective analyses of its Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) [FN26] regulation illustrates how the benefits and costs of a rule can be substantially different in practice than what one would have expected based solely on the prospective work.
		The purpose of CHMSLs is to reduce the time it takes for following drivers to react when drivers in front of them put on their brakes, allowing them to stop sooner and thereby avoid crashes (or reduce the speed at which impact occurs).
		DOE--Room Air Conditioners: This rule was proposed as part of a substantially larger rulemaking that included seven other types of household appliances, such as water heaters, fluorescent lamp ballasts, and mobile home furnaces.

	USATODAY.com - GM recalling nearly 300,000 Saturn sedans and wagons
		It could make the brake or tail light inoperable or cause it to short circuit, leading to the failure of both brake lamps and the center, high-mounted stop lamp.
		In April, 22,000 of the L-Series wagons from the 2002-2004 model year were recalled because they were built with center and passenger side rear seat belt anchors that did not comply with U.S. and Canadian safety standards.
		The problem could make it difficult for the driver of another vehicle to realize the Saturn's brakes were being applied and lead to a rear-end crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.

	chapter 5Complete
		The 2500 vehicles equipped with center high mounted stop lamps are found to be struck in the rear while braking 53% less than those not so equipped, for the same distance of driving, a result in close agreement with the 54% for the taxicabs.
		The key finding in the experiment is that the Washington taxicabs with center high mounted stop lamps were struck in the rear while braking 54% less often for the same distance of driving as the taxis in the control group.
		The result Kahane [1989] obtained is that the center high mounted stop lamp reduced rear impacts to cars that are braking by (17 + 2)%, where the error is one standard error.

	Visteon Corporation: Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL)
		Center High-Mounted Stop Lamps (CHMSL) have been standard equipment on all new passenger cars sold in the U.S. since September 1985 and all new light trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUV's) and vans sold since the 1994 model year.
		Positioned above the stop lamps, the CHMSL functions as a brake light, more readily visible than the brake lights mounted lower.
		By incorporating this unique light source into a CHMSL, Visteon is able to deliver solutions that provide opportunities for styling differentiation and modularity while optimizing mechanical and electrical efficiency.
