Bardic Rail Signaling Lamp

Traditionally “Bardic” was the name of a specific railway signaling lamp made by British Chloride for use by rail and trackside workers. It provided colours red, green, amber and white.

In the 21st century “Bardic” is a generic term used to describe any signaling lamp which provides red, green, amber and white colours and in use predominantly on the railways.^[1]

Referring to a hand-held signaling lamp as a Bardic lamp is similar to referring to a vacuum cleaner as a Hoover – it’s not quite accurate, but everyone knows what it means.

Bardic lamps are now used predominantly to signal the last train at night, and also to hold trains when necessary.

Most train rail staff carry a “Bardic” lamp as part of their regulation kit. Network Rail have now approved a more conveniently smaller lamp that uses super bright LED’s ^[2]
