GA Gen 2
Dual White Floods
Dual-Side Pedestrian Illumination
Purpose-Built Lighting for Both Sides of the School Bus Student Loading Zone
The Gardian Angel GA GEN 2 is a dual-side pedestrian lighting system designed to illuminate the areas where students walk when entering and exiting a school bus.
Two high-output 1,000-lumen white LED floodlights mount on opposite sides of the front bumper, projecting illuminated pathways onto the ground on both sides of the bus.
The GA GEN 2 activates automatically when the bus’s red warning lights turn on, providing dedicated pedestrian illumination throughout the student loading and unloading sequence
Illuminate Both Paths Students Take
Students don’t always approach or leave the bus from the same direction.
The GA GEN 2 provides illumination on both sides of the school bus, helping create greater visibility around the front of the bus and the areas where students cross and walk during loading and unloading.
By placing a dedicated white LED floodlight on each side of the front bumper, the GA GEN 2 illuminates the pedestrian environment without requiring additional action from the driver.
GA GEN 2 at a Glance
Dual-Side Illumination
Two white LED floodlights illuminate pedestrian pathways on both sides of the bus.
2 × 1,000-Lumen LEDs
High-output white LED ground illumination.
18–20 Feet of Illumination
Projects a 6–8-foot-wide illuminated pathway extending approximately 18–20 feet from the bus.
Automatic Operation
Activates automatically with the bus’s red warning lights.
12/24VDC
Dual-voltage design for school bus electrical systems.
30,000+ Hour LED Life
Long-life LED technology designed for reliable, low-maintenance operation.
How the GA GEN 2 Works
01 — Warning Lights Activate
The school bus stops and the driver activates the red warning light system.
02 — Both Floodlights Illuminate
The two Gardian Angel white LED floodlights automatically activate with the warning-light sequence.
03 — Both Pedestrian Paths Are Illuminated
Each 1,000-lumen floodlight projects a downward-directed ground wash onto the pedestrian loading area on its respective side of the bus.
04 — Students Enter or Exit
The illuminated pathways help provide greater visibility as students approach, enter, exit, and cross around the school bus.
05 — Automatic Shutoff
The system turns off automatically when the bus service entrance door closes.
No additional switch. No additional driver action.
Purpose-Built Dual-Side Pedestrian Illumination
The GA GEN 2 was designed specifically around the school bus student loading environment.
With one white floodlight positioned on each side of the front bumper, the system provides dedicated illumination across both pedestrian pathways.
Designed for the Loading Zone
● Two 1,000-lumen white LED floodlights
● One floodlight mounted on each side of the front bumper
● Downward-directed ground illumination
● Illuminated pathway approximately 6–8 feet wide
● Visibility extending approximately 18–20 feet from the bus
● Helps improve visibility during darkness and low-light conditions
● Provides illumination during rain, snow, and other challenging weather conditions
● Visible even during daylight conditions
Automatic When Students Need It
The GA GEN 2 is designed to operate automatically with the existing school bus warning-light sequence.
When the red warning lights activate, both white floodlights turn on.
When the student loading sequence ends, the system automatically shuts off.
Built Around the Driver’s Workflow
The driver doesn’t need to:
● Flip another switch
● Remember to activate another system
● Take an additional action during student loading
The GA GEN 2 works automatically as part of the school bus loading sequence.
More Than Pedestrian Illumination
The GA GEN 2 is designed to increase visibility throughout the student loading environment.
Helps Motorists Recognize an Active School Bus Stop
The bright white ground illumination helps draw attention to the active loading area and the presence of students around the bus.
Helps Students See Where They Step
Illuminating the ground provides a more visible pathway for students entering and exiting the bus, including during darkness and challenging weather.
Helps Keep Students Visible
The illuminated pedestrian pathways help make students more visible as they move around the school bus.
Supports Exterior Camera Visibility
The white illumination can also provide exterior camera systems with visible-color lighting around the bus, rather than relying solely on infrared illumination that may render approaching vehicles in grayscale.
Built for Demanding School Bus Environments
The GA GEN 2 white floodlights are designed for demanding transportation environments and engineered for long-term operation.
Key Features
● Two 1,000-lumen white LED floodlights

It does not replace existing safety equipment such as:
● Red warning lights
● Traditional stop arms
● Extended stop arms
● Illuminated signage
● LiDAR / sensors
● Crossing arms
● Exterior camera systems
Instead, the GA GEN 2 adds dedicated white LED pedestrian illumination to both sides of the student loading and unloading environment.
More Visibility. Both Sides. One More Layer of Awareness.
