Just got word from Tommy that he found a new design of RECO gate light on the UP Villa Grove Subdivision in IL, and the pictures eventually sent and showed a gate light similar in design to an Alstom or WCH gate light. So I went and looked it up on RECO's website, and sure enough, there it is! RECO calls this style of gate light the "Low Profile Lamp", which I'm guessing was done to be more attractive to customers who like that style of gate light.

The standard 4 inch gate light is also still being made, so I'm guessing that we won't see these crop-up on NS or BNSF for a while yet.
I'll get Tommy to share his pictures of the ones he found soon, once he gets back to his house.
I'm also gonna suggest that we use "Low Profile" as the general term for LED gate lights of this style, including the ones made by Alstom and WCH.

I have the goodies! I found the LEDs at the Route 130 crossing near downtown Villa Grove, IL. I had no idea these existed, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw these.
