I'm reliably told it's a little too easy to press the red lamp button on these. These are a great design in principle, but messed up by someone who's never been om a train platform before.

GWR still uses them at some stations. Temple meads, Bristol Parkway and Cheltenham spa all have the plastic ones, then use a separate torch at night. All new staff still issued with them.
But everywhere south of Bristol seems to use the LED ones. Seen them at Taunton, Exeter, Plymouth among others.
