The difference is in the part that tells the athletes that the competition has started. In track events where 1/1000th of a second is competed, it is very important to start movements in time with the start sound, but differential athletes cannot hear the start sound. Therefore, in the past, players started by visually observing the starter and nearby players. Particularly in short-distance events with a crouching start, athletes had to look up and prepare for the start in order to see the start signal, which forced them into a disadvantageous position. Therefore, the “Start Lamp” was developed as a visual information guarantee. This is a device that signals the start sound with a light signal.It works in conjunction with a pistol and signals the competitors by changing colors: On Your Marks “Red”, Set “Yellow”, and Signal Gun “Green”. By placing the start lamp in the line of sight of the athletes, it is now possible to start under the same conditions as those who can hear.
