Sometimes a traditional light tower with discrete signals for every color is used. In
this case, a different setup can be used:

! predefined lamps: BLUE_LAMP, GREEN_LAMP, ORANGE_LAMP,

! RED_LAMP, WHITE_LAMP, YELLOW_LAMP

If needed, the lighting can be switched on by integrator RAPID code by using
dedicated signals.
