The leading light in rail
Dorman, the UK leader in railway signalling and infrastructure lighting, is the signalling and hazard warning lighting brand of Unipart Rail, the UK's largest supplier of spares to the infrastructure and traction and rolling stock markets which has a stated mission to be its customer's first choice for products and services by providing industry-leading manufacturing and supply chain solutions.
Echoing this mission, Dorman offers innovative, highly reliable LED lighting and signalling solutions, which are competitively priced and provide safer and improved network performance delivering reduced whole life costs.
Dorman's expertise has led to the development of a range of products for use in applications across the UK rail network. Uniquely, Dorman offers LED products approved by the UK infrastructure company, Network Rail, ranging from Colour Light Signals, Junction Route Indicators to equipment for use on Railway Level crossings 'Wig-Wag' lights. A range of traction and rolling stock lights is also available.
A strong product development culture has delivered numerous patented innovations characterised by enhanced safety and significant lifetime economies. For example, the LED Colour Light Signal replaces the conventional 4-aspect signal with a searchlight signal incorporating only 2 apertures, making the product smaller and lighter for easier installation, coupled with ease of scheduled maintenance.
As a result of working closely with key users and our in-depth knowledge of the requirement of drivers and signal engineers, our product range offers:
- High optical performance - a unique optical arrangement reduces the possibility of phantom signals
- Reliability and long life: LEDs are not affected by variations in supply voltage and all products and components are rugged and fully compliant with demanding industry and customer standards
- Rapid installation: fully interchangeable with existing signal head units and compatible with existing wiring and proving
- Low maintenance - hinged assembly provides access to the rear of the signal for easy cleaning as well as ease of product configuration
