		Searchlight signals have one permanently-illuminated lamp, the aspect colour being selected by a moving vane operated by an electric motor that positions the appropriate colour filter in front of the lens.
		This type of signal does use a (parabolic) reflector and thus lower power lamps and a less directional lens system are used since there is a far greater percentage of the light available to be directed down the tracks towards the driver of the oncoming train.
		While some signals used a lowered arm (lower-quadrant signal) to indicate that the signal could be passed, these were generally converted to the safer raised arm (upper-quadrant signal), which enabled the signal to fail safe in the case of a mechanical problem.
