Discover First Light’s Illuminated School Bus Sign
Simple Installation
Why choose the ISBS
It's available in ILLUMINATED and REFLECTIVE!
Grabs the attention of oncoming motorists before they are close to the school bus. The ISBS is its own light source; it does not need a car’s headlights to be visible
The words SCHOOL BUS are readable beyond 300 feet. The entire sign can be seen beyond 1,000 feet and is visible from all viewing angles – up to 180 degrees
The Illumination remains consistently bright and uniform in any weather condition, unlike reflective decals and existing back-lit signs
The ISBS eliminates the common industry complaints with back-lit signs – water intrusion, poor readability, and removes the need for large cut outs in the front/rear bulkheads
