Carmanah’s Solar LED Lighting Group has received an order from the US Army to supply 37 of its R247C solar-powered airfield flashing beacons, as well as several Telstra poles and warning signs. The airfield beacons and signs will be used to increase safety for moving aircraft, vehicles and pedestrians at a US Army air base in the Middle East.
Unlit vehicle, ramp and pedestrian areas pose a significant safety hazard on the apron area of the air base. Carmanah’s R247C solar-powered LED flashing beacons will increase personnel safety by ensuring warning signage in this high-traffic area is more visible.
Carmanah’s airfield flashing beacons operate continuously, 24 hours per day, and require no maintenance for up to five years. They can be installed quickly and easily with no trenching, cabling or external wiring. They are an ideal beacon solution for locations with limited or no access to the electrical grid.
Carmanah’s Model R247C airfield flashing beacons are currently in use at defense and commercial airports worldwide. Carmanah is the primary provider of solar LED lighting solutions to US Defense, NATO and many other international defense organizations.
