The US Department of Defence has placed an order for Carmanah’s solar airport lights to help enhance airfield safety and efficiency at a forward operating base in the Middle East. Chosen for their compact, self-contained design and cost-effective operation, the A704-5 wireless aviation lights and dusk-till-dawn A601 helipad edge lights will illuminate a new helipad at the forward operating base.
With wireless and infrared capabilities, Carmanah’s solar helipad edge lights satisfy the base’s need for a quick solution that can be wirelessly activated day or night, and used with night vision goggles.
Free from the need for an external electrical connection, Carmanah’s solar helipad edge lights can help reduce the infrastructure, energy and fuel requirements at remote forward operating bases. The cost of supplying fuel to these facilities can be extremely high for daily operations; so eliminating this need provides a cost effective and safe alternative to supplying, transporting and protecting fuel resources.
With no trenching, cabling or wiring required, the lights can be installed quickly and easily without specialized equipment or specially trained installation crews. Providing maintenance-free operation for up to five years in a harsh desert environment, Carmanah’s helipad edge lights offer worry-free operation, and significant cost savings.
Carmanah has supplied forward operating bases around the world with solar-powered lighting systems for a variety of applications including helipads, taxiways, runways, obstruction marking and tactical landing zones.
