Carmanah’s innovative lighting products will help contribute to Island Transit’s enthusiastic mission.
About the i-SIGNAL™ Bus Signaling Device
Carmanah’s i-SIGNAL™ solar-powered transit beacon is a LED flashing light that is activated by waiting passengers at the bus stop. With the press of a button, passengers can alert oncoming bus drivers that a pick-up is needed. Upon activation, the i-SIGNALTM flashes for one minute. Not only does the i-SIGNAL™ eliminate pass-bys at bus stops, but it also improves the time efficiency of bus drivers and creates a sense of security for riders.
About the i-SHELTER™ Lighting System
The i-SHELTER™ solar powered LED lighting system is the most vandal resistant and reliable bus shelter lighting system in the industry. By providing all night illumination at bus shelters, passengers feel safer about using transit services. In addition to improving overall transit ridership, the i-SHELTER™ LED lighting system provides environmentally friendly benefits such as reduced green house gas emissions. The i-SHELTER™ uses Carmanah’s field-proven technology and requires no trenching, cabling or grid power hookups. It is a cost-effective and a low-maintenance customer service solution; the i-SHELTER™ is designed to operate without scheduled servicing for up to 5 years.
Carmanah’s solar-powered illuminated bus stop products are currently installed with more than 95 transit authorities throughout North America and abroad. Carmanah’s solar LED transit lighting products have received wide recognition for their unique integrated design and outstanding performance. The Company’s i-SHELTER™ systems are designed to adapt to any shelter design and feature the rugged reliability of all of Carmanah lighting products.
