GA3 - Georgia Kit
Single White Flood
+ Dual White Warning Strobes
Georgia-Specific Integrated Visibility System
The Gardian Angel GA3 – Georgia Kit is a customized state-specific configuration of the GA3 Integrated Visibility System, combining pedestrian illumination with enhanced warning visibility.
The system features a 1,000-lumen white LED floodlight to illuminate the student pedestrian pathway, along with two high-intensity white LED warning strobes mounted to the hood of the school bus.
At Georgia’s request, the warning strobes are configured in white instead of red, providing a state-specific warning visibility solution designed for Georgia school bus applications.
The system activates automatically with the bus’s red warning-light sequence, providing additional visibility around the school bus during student loading and unloading.
Designed as an affordable retrofit solution, the GA3 – Georgia Kit can be added to existing school bus fleets.
Customized for Georgia
School bus lighting requirements and approved configurations can vary significantly by state.
The GA3 – Georgia Kit was developed specifically to provide the Gardian Angel integrated visibility system in a Georgia-specific white-strobe configuration.
GA3 – Georgia Kit at a Glance
Single-Side Pedestrian Illumination
One 1,000-lumen white LED floodlight illuminates the pedestrian pathway at the front of the bus.
Dual White Warning Strobes
Two high-intensity white LED strobes provide an additional visual warning for approaching motorists.
18–20 Feet of Illumination
The white floodlight creates an illuminated pathway approximately 6–8 feet wide with visibility extending approximately 18–20 feet from the bus.
Automatic Operation
The system activates with the bus’s red warning-light sequence.
State-Specific Configuration
White warning strobes are incorporated specifically for the Georgia configuration.
Fleet Retrofit Compatible
Designed to be added to existing school bus fleets.
How the GA3 – Georgia Kit Works
01 — The Bus Stops
The school bus stops and the driver activates the red warning-light system.
02 — The System Activates
The white pedestrian floodlight and two high-intensity white warning strobes automatically activate with the warning-light sequence.
03 — The Pedestrian Path Is Illuminated
The 1,000-lumen white LED floodlight casts a downward-directed ground wash across the student pedestrian pathway.
04 — Additional Warning Visibility
The two high-intensity white LED strobes mounted to the hood provide an additional visual signal designed to attract the attention of approaching motorists.
05 — Students Enter or Exit
The illuminated pathway helps students see where they are walking while the white warning strobes provide additional visibility around the active school bus stop.
06 — Automatic Shutoff
When the bus service entrance door closes, the pedestrian illumination automatically turns off and the warning system returns to its inactive state as the warning sequence ends.
No additional switch. No additional driver action.
Two Visibility Functions.
One Georgia-Specific System.
The GA3 – Georgia Kit combines two important visibility functions:
Pedestrian Pathway Illumination
The 1,000-lumen white LED floodlight provides dedicated illumination for the area where students walk when entering or exiting the school bus.
It is designed to help:
-
Illuminate the student pedestrian pathway
-
Help students see where they step
-
Improve visibility during darkness and low-light conditions
-
Make students more visible around the bus
-
Provide illumination during rain, snow, and challenging weather
-
Create a visible pathway during daylight conditions
Enhanced Warning Visibility
Two high-intensity white LED strobes mounted to the hood provide an additional visual warning around the front of the school bus.
They are designed to:
-
Increase visibility of an active school bus stop
-
Alert approaching motorists that students may be crossing
-
Provide additional daytime visibility
-
Draw attention to the front of the school bus
-
Complement the existing school bus warning-light system
One System. Two Visibility Functions.
Illuminate the path.
Increase warning visibility.
Purpose-Built Pedestrian Illumination
The GA3 – Georgia Kit uses a dedicated 1,000-lumen white LED floodlight to illuminate the student pedestrian pathway.
The downward-directed flood pattern places illumination on the pavement and walking area rather than directly toward students.
Designed for the Loading Zone
-
1,000 lumens of white LED illumination
-
Single-side pedestrian illumination
-
Downward-directed ground wash
-
Illuminated pathway approximately 6–8 feet wide
-
Visibility extending approximately 18–20 feet from the bus
-
Designed for daytime and nighttime visibility
-
Helps improve visibility during darkness and low-light conditions
-
Provides illumination during rain, snow, and challenging weather
Georgia-Specific White Warning Strobes
The defining feature of the Georgia Kit is the use of white warning strobes rather than the red strobes used in other Gardian Angel configurations.
Two high-intensity white LED strobes mount to the hood of the school bus to provide an additional visual warning signal.
Built for Warning Visibility
-
Two high-intensity white LED strobes
-
Hood-mounted configuration
-
33 flash patterns
-
Light synchronization technology
-
Designed for daytime visibility
-
Designed for nighttime visibility
-
SAE lens markings
-
Low-maintenance LED technology
Why White?
The Georgia Kit was developed with white warning strobes at the request of Georgia, creating a state-specific configuration of the Gardian Angel integrated visibility system.
Automatic When Students Need It
The GA3 – Georgia Kit works with the existing school bus warning-light sequence.
When the red warning lights activate:
The white pedestrian floodlight turns on.
The two white warning strobes activate.
The system operates automatically throughout the student loading and unloading sequence.
Built Around the Driver’s Workflow
The driver doesn’t need to:
-
Flip another switch
-
Remember to activate another warning system
-
Take an additional action during student loading
The GA3 – Georgia Kit works automatically as part of the loading sequence.
Built for School Bus Fleets
The GA3 – Georgia Kit was designed specifically for school transportation and as an affordable retrofit solution for existing school bus fleets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the GA3 – Georgia Kit different from the standard GA3?
The GA3 – Georgia Kit is a state-specific configuration of the GA3.
The primary difference is the color of the warning strobes. The standard GA3 uses red warning strobes, while the Georgia Kit uses high-intensity white warning strobes.
How many lights are included?
The GA3 – Georgia Kit includes:
1 white pedestrian floodlight
2 white warning strobes
Why are the warning strobes white?
The white strobe configuration was developed at Georgia’s request for its school bus applications.
Where are the white strobes mounted?
The two high-intensity white LED strobes are designed for hood-mounted installation at the front of the school bus.
How far does the white floodlight illuminate?
The pedestrian floodlight creates an illuminated pathway approximately 6–8 feet wide, with visibility extending approximately 18–20 feet from the bus, depending on installation configuration.
Does the driver have to activate the system manually?
No. The system is designed to activate automatically with the bus’s red warning-light sequence.
Can the white illumination help exterior cameras?
Yes. White illumination can provide exterior cameras with visible-color lighting around the bus rather than relying solely on infrared illumination, which may produce grayscale imagery.
Is the Georgia Kit useful during daylight?
Yes. The white floodlight provides visible ground illumination during daylight conditions, while the high-intensity white strobes provide an additional warning signal.
Is the system designed for bad weather?
Yes. The white floodlight is IP67 rated and the system is designed for demanding outdoor transportation environments, including rain, snow, and other challenging weather conditions.
