White Knight have been manufacturing Network Rail approved signalling lamps for over 25 year and is best known for their range of rechargeable handlamps.

The White Knight range was developed after extensive research when a major train company expressed concern over the weight of the train driver’s bag, which was partly due to the weight of the old-fashioned Bardic Lamps. White Knight responded by designing and producing the hugely successful Halo personal signalling lamp. Not only was it significantly lighter than the original Bardic lamp, it was also much brighter.

White Knight’s Halo Plus torch is Network Rail approved (Cert. No. PA/05/965)  and has been in production since 1990. It is used by the British, German and Swiss rail networks, as well as the Eurostar service and infrastructure companies.

White Knight is a market leader in the supply of specialised lamps to  “Blue Light Services”, Rail Networks, Military and Public Utilities worldwide. White Knight holds BS EN ISO 9001 certification, and the company has also achieved a range of industry standards and certification.

As well as the Network Rail approved signalling lamps used for train movement and shunting etc, White Knight also manufacture a sturdy range of lamps for other areas of the rail infrastructure including banksman’s lamps, and other portable spotlights for long and short distance inspection work.

Other White Knight products include bespoke lamps for specific industries and applications.
