Carmanah Releases Solar-Powered Light Box For Outdoor Ads

Carmanah Technologies Corp. of Victoria, British Columbia, has released its i-PANEL solar-powered light box for outdoor advertising. "The i-PANEL illuminated advertising panel is an ideal application of our solar-powered LED lighting and patented MICROSOURCE solar energy management technologies," says Art Aylesworth, Carmanah's chief executive officer. Transit shelter advertising panels, with their high visibility to both vehicle traffic and pedestrians, are one of the most popular forms of outdoor advertising, the company says.

Solar Lighting Gets the Message Out at Night

Advertisements in transit shelters can now be lit up 24 hours a day even if they are far from a conventional power source thanks to a new line of solar-powered outdoor advertising lighting unveiled Monday by Carmanah Technologies. The i-PANEL LED technology to illuminate ads is the latest transit product offered by the Victoria company that is already lighting up transit shelters from Los Angeles to London with its i-SHELTER security lighting and its i-STOP illuminated bus stop signs. Frank Palmer, chief executive officer of the advertising firm DDB Canada said his company and clients are seeking energy efficient solutions and the new Carmanah ad lighting fits that agenda. "I think it is a great step forward," Palmer said as the new ad lighting panels were displayed in downtown Vancouver alongside the artwork of the Rendezvous Gallery.

Solar-Powered Ad Panels Debut

Today in Vancouver, transit advertising specialist Carmanah Technologies will officially introduce an illuminated advertising panel powered by exposure to sunlight. Carmanah has been beta testing its i-Panel in Canada and the US recently in partnership with outdoor biggies Clear Channel and CBS Decaux.
