Fully Illuminated Stop Arm

The Best Line of Defense for Making Drivers STOP

Designed for maximum visibility when your school bus is stopped, and when recognizing the stop arm is needed the most: in dark conditions, poorly lit roads, fog, rain, and snow. First Light’s Fully Illuminated Stop Arm (FISA) is by far the brightest, most noticeable stop arm in the world. The FISA provides peace of mind knowing that your school buses will get the attention of approaching motorists from the furthest distance possible, no matter the conditions.

    WHAT THE STUDENT TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY IS SAYING

    Matt Summers

    What we’ve learned since installing these signs is that they are definitely brighter in low light conditions and even local law enforcement has commented on how much more visible the school bus is.

    It is exciting to see my first customer Alvin ISD with the new Fully Illuminated Stop Arms. Their excitement for the new products from First Light Safety Products is refreshing. I believe the Fully Illuminated Stop Arm is a long-overdue technology for our School Buses.

    The Fully Illuminated Stop Arms are very attention-grabbing and easy to install! Seeing them lit up in the morning is like watching a parade of lights. We have added them to 44 of our special needs buses and could not be happier with the results.

    The first time I saw a school bus outfitted with First Light’s school bus sign & stop arms I thought to myself: I don’t understand why these aren’t mandatory on every school bus out there.

    Director of Transportation

    Laveen School District – Arizona

    I am happy to say how impressed I am by these signs; they are a great product that greatly improves the bus being seen, which is exactly what I was looking for. My 35-year mechanic was skeptical, he installed them, and he was blown away. That alone says something. He was good with the install and loved how clean the "School Bus" signs were. The customer service I have received from FLSP has been absolutely excellent!

    Thank you FLSP for this awesome innovation! We are super excited to have the new school bus signs and stop arms on our buses. These lights are seen out here on our county roads! The safety of our students is our #1 PRIORITY!

    I haven’t been this excited about a new product in a long time!

    Peter Tunny

    Director of Transportation

    South Colonie CSD - New York

    This definitely changes the equation, now there is no way any motorist can tell any traffic court judge anywhere that they did not see the school bus. This is such an unbelievable upgrade for the safety of our students.

    Director of Transportation, NYCDPT

    Shenendehowa Central School District - New York

    In the 19 years I’ve been in school transportation, I can honestly say it’s the best innovation I’ve seen, which truly updates the school bus and makes it visible from a distance and enhances its visibility. I have received nothing but positive remarks from administrators and staff alike.

    These signs are a game changer when it comes to seeing school buses in darkness as well as daylight!

    Zach McKinney

    Director of Transportation

    Hamilton Southeastern Schools - Indiana

    I wanted something that would bring more immediate attention to students loading and unloading a school bus. The Fully Illuminated Stop Arm from First Light Safety Products does just that for us. I am pleasantly surprised with how much light these stop arms omit. Without a doubt these stop arms bring attention and visibility to our bus stops.

    Sherry Demers

    Transportation Supervisor

    Ballston Spa CSD - New York

    Drivers are so impressed with the visibility; they're now requesting buses with the First Light Stop Arm installed. Traffic now has ample time to notice a stopped bus. Where traffic was once passing on the reds, we now have safe loading and unloading for our students. All new buses will be equipped with First Light Stop Arms!
