Carmanah has received an additional order from the US Marine Corps (USMC) for 300 A601 apron edge lights and 300 A601 obstruction/barricade lights. These solar- powered LED portable airfield lights will be installed at one of the many US airfields in the Middle East currently serviced by Carmanah.
US airfields in the Middle East typically have no existing infrastructure or power sources to run traditional hard-wired airfield lighting. As Carmanah’s solar LED portable airfield lights require no hard wiring, trenching, outside power sources or ongoing maintenance for up to five years, they save millions of dollars in up front infrastructure costs, ongoing maintenance, energy costs and battery replacement. As well, Carmanah’s portable airfield lights provide high performance and reliability under some extremely difficult airfield operating conditions, including intense heat, sand storms and daily jet blast.
Carmanah has been providing the USMC with solar LED airfield lighting since 2003 for operations that provide increased safety and airfield lighting cues for USMC and Coalition Forces. Currently, there are more than 4000 Carmanah solar LED lights installed at major USMC airfields for theater operations.
Carmanah has more than 19,000 airfield lights and solar LED lighting solutions in use with US Defense, NATO and Coalition operations on five major continents.
