How much does the light cost?
The up-to-date pricing for the traffic light Audio Monitor can be gotten by contacting School Specialty Inc. for a bid price.

Can we adjust settings on our own?
The settings for the traffic light Audio Monitor can all be set at the light, inside or outside of it

Is the traffic light tamper proof?
The Traffic Light is rugged and held closed with wing nut retainers. It could be locked but we have not seen any real reason to do so to date.

Do you provide maintenance?
The only maintenance that should be required is an occasional outside cleaning and replacing a burnt out low voltage bulb infrequently.

How much warranty do you provide? 
The warranty on the light is Three Years Limited. There is no extra charge for a "maintenance contract" or for return freight under a maintenance contract, a hidden and continued cost to the school. In case of a problem with the Light just call for an RA to School Specialty Inc.

Why does the light respond to peaks such as a dropped lunchroom tray or a student shouting?
As we understand lunchroom control, ignoring such incidents would just encourage a further lack of discipline. We believe you are supposed to be trying to control the overall level of sound and the instances of abrupt and inappropriate student behavior. Our Light is designed to moderate isolated instances of "peak" sound and has an internal switch to select the best Light response behavior to fit your school's needs.

This Light was the first to market in many years, designed and built by a long time school supplier. Why are there now copies at lower prices?  
Like any successful product, there will be copies by people who want a short term gain from the school market. Parts of School Specialty have been in business for over 80 years. School Specialty will be here for service and advice when and if you need them, with over 400 direct representatives in the U.S.

Are there schools we can contact to verify their experiences with the Light?  
There are schools with the Light in the majority of the states. Contact your School Specialty representative for a list of schools nearby.

Why does it have three circuit breakers instead of a cheap fuse?

The SS light uses all low voltage lamps and circuitry which is much safer.
The three circuit breakers protect the light, the environment and the personnel who care for it. To omit them and cheapen the construction to save a couple of hundred dollars or so, we believe would be irresponsible.
