August 28, 2007 – Vol.12 No.23 Carmanah Receives Additional $600K Order from US Department of Defense for Solar LED Airfield Lighting. The order consists of taxiway, runway, approach, apron edge and obstruction lights. The lights are destined for multiple forward operating bases at undisclosed locations. The Company's lights have been field-proven to endure difficult environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, poor solar conditions, sandstorms and flooding. They have been used for all ranges of airfield applications, such as permanent primary lighting, temporary lighting during airfield construction or upgrades, emergency backup lighting, as well as expedited portable lighting during defense or humanitarian aid operations "Carmanah's solar powered LED airfield lights have become the solution of choice for many of the world's largest defense organizations," said Art Aylesworth, Carmanah's CEO. "With systems in the field since 2003, our technology has proven itself to be extremely tough and reliable. Our users also save up to 90% of the capital cost of a hardwired solution, and install our systems in a fraction of the time with relatively little training and minimal disruption to airfield operations." The Company's next generation A704-5 runway edge lights feature specialized LED optics that can be toggled between visible and infrared output (for night vision goggles), as well as optional wireless control that lets users adjust the entire airfield lighting system or predefined groups of lights using a handheld remote controller. Carmanah is the largest supplier of self-contained solar LED airfield lighting in the world . (8/26/07)
