Carmanah’s Solar LED Lighting Group has received an additional order from the US Air Force for a number of its A704-5 portable airfield lights. This solar-powered LED airfield lighting will be used as part of a wirelessly-controlled installation on a US Air Force base in the United States.
Prior to using Carmanah’s solar LED lighting technology, a rechargeable battery-based portable airfield lighting system was being used. To operate, airfield staff were required to remove and recharge the light fixtures on a frequent and ongoing basis. In contrast, Carmanah’s portable airfield lights can be installed for up to five years with no scheduled maintenance – with significant savings in labor and energy costs.
Carmanah is the only company in the world offering self-contained, solar LED airfield lighting with centralized wireless control capability, which allows personnel to turn A704-5 lights on and off remotely from the control tower or an incoming aircraft. The lights can also controlled in groups, allowing sections of the airfield lighting installation to be controlled independently.
Carmanah’s solar-powered LED A704-5 is in use by international defense forces around the world as airfield lighting to support overt, covert and training operations. With six different visible intensity settings and three infrared settings, the lights provide pilots with visual guidance in day, night and compromised visibility conditions.
Carmanah’s airfield lighting solutions have extensively demonstrated their durability and reliability in some of the harshest climates in the world. With no trenching or cabling, Carmanah’s lights provide for easy installation and require no maintenance for up to five years.
