GA1-OH
Single White Flood + Ohio-Specific Undercarriage Mount
State-Specific Pedestrian Illumination for Ohio School Buses
The Gardian Angel GA1-OH is an Ohio-specific configuration of the GA1 Single Pedestrian Lighting System, designed with undercarriage mounting brackets for applications requiring this mounting configuration.
The system uses a high-output 1,000-lumen white LED floodlight to illuminate the pedestrian pathway at the front left side of the school bus.
The GA1-OH activates automatically with the bus’s red warning-light system, providing dedicated pedestrian illumination during the student loading and unloading sequence.
Designed specifically for Ohio school bus applications, the GA1-OH provides an affordable retrofit solution for existing fleets.
Designed for Ohio School Bus Applications
School bus lighting requirements and approved mounting configurations can vary from state to state.
The GA1-OH provides the same purpose-built pedestrian illumination as the standard GA1 while incorporating an undercarriage mounting configuration designed specifically for Ohio applications.
GA1-OH at a Glance
Single-Side Illumination
One white LED floodlight illuminates the pedestrian pathway at the front left side of the bus.
1,000-Lumen LED
High-output white LED ground illumination.
Undercarriage Mount
Includes undercarriage mounting brackets for the Ohio-specific configuration.
18–20 Feet of Illumination
Creates an illuminated pathway approximately 6–8 feet wide with visibility extending approximately 18–20 feet from the bus.
Automatic Operation
Activates with the bus’s red warning lights.
12/24VDC
Designed for standard school bus electrical systems.
How the GA1-OH Works
01 — The Bus Stops
The school bus stops and the driver activates the red warning-light system.
02 — GA1-OH Illuminates
The GA1-OH automatically activates with the warning-light sequence.
03 — The Pedestrian Path Is Illuminated
The 1,000-lumen white LED floodlight casts a downward-directed ground wash onto the pedestrian pathway at the front left side of the bus.
04 — Students Enter or Exit
The illuminated pathway helps provide greater visibility while students walk to or from the school bus.
05 — Automatic Shutoff
When the bus service entrance door closes, the GA1-OH automatically turns off.
No additional switch. No additional driver action.
Purpose-Built Pedestrian Illumination
The GA1-OH is designed around the area where students walk when entering and exiting the school bus.
Its downward-directed white LED floodlight puts illumination on the pavement and pedestrian pathway rather than directly toward students.

Ohio-Specific Undercarriage Mounting
The defining feature of the GA1-OH configuration is its undercarriage mounting system.
The 1,000-lumen white LED floodlight is positioned at the undercarriage of the front left corner of the bus to illuminate the pedestrian pathway.
GA1-OH Includes
-
Ohio-specific undercarriage mounting brackets
-
One Gardian Angel 1,000-lumen white LED floodlight
-
Wiring harness
-
Required mounting hardware
-
The mounting configuration is designed specifically for the applicable Ohio application.
Automatic When Students Need It
The GA1-OH works with the existing school bus warning-light sequence.
When the red warning lights activate, the GA1-OH automatically turns on.
When the bus service entrance door closes, the system automatically turns 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 GA1-OH works automatically as part of the loading sequence.
Built for School Bus Fleets
The GA1-OH was designed specifically for school transportation and engineered for the demanding environment of daily school bus operation.
