Carmanah has received an order from the US Air Force (USAF) for 300 Model A601 solar-powered LED taxiway lights with optional deactivation switches. These lights will be installed at the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, which already uses more than 2,500 units of Carmanah’s solar LED portable airfield lights.
The Ali Al Salem Air Base is situated 39 miles north of the Iraqi border in a flat dessert environment with difficult to access electrical infrastructure necessary to support hardwired airfield lighting. As an ideal alternative power source, the USAF has been installing Carmanah’s solar LED portable airfield lights for runway, taxiway, apron edge, threshold, runway caution, helipad and obstruction lighting applications. The USAF has saved millions of dollars in upfront capital costs, infrastructure costs such as trenching, wiring and generator fuel, as well as long-term operating and maintenance costs.
Carmanah’s A601 is the world’s most advanced solar-powered LED portable aviation light with two miles of visibility and is completely integrated, self-contained, waterproof and compact. The A601 will operate at nearly any location on earth and will withstand jet blast on the ground and the harshest of environmental conditions.
Carmanah has installed more than 19,000 lights with the US Armed Forces, NATO & Coalition Forces around the world. For more information on Carmanah’s full range of aviation products and accessories, please contact Allister Wilmott of the Aviation Lighting Division at:
