Carmanah has received an order from King County Metro Transit of Seattle, WA, for an additional 36 units of its i-SHELTER™ solar-powered LED shelter lighting systems. This order follows a previous order of several systems in June 2005. These i-SHELTER™ systems are scheduled for installation throughout downtown Seattle and its surrounding areas.
Carmanah’s unique, intelligent i-SHELTER™ solar LED shelter lighting systems provide Seattle with bus shelter lighting without the high installation costs, traffic disruption and ongoing maintenance costs associated with conventional grid-powered lighting.
King County Metro Transit is dedicated to maintaining a healthy and safe environment. For the past 2 years, Carmanah has worked closely with King County Metro Transit to fine-tune a customized product design that matched specific system operating profile requirements while remaining cost-effective, maintenance free and visually pleasing. Carmanah’s patented MICROSOURCE® Energy Management System will also automatically optimize operation and reliability for Seattle’s low sunlight conditions.
