We report the classification of the following bright transients. The spectra have been obtained with the Spectral Energy Distribution Machine (SEDM) (range 350-950nm, spectral resolution R~100) mounted on the Palomar 60-inch (P60) telescope (Blagorodnova et. al. 2018, PASP, 130, 5003). Classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
