The global head office of a major US department store is getting a safety upgrade with Carmanah’s solar technology. Installed throughout the parking lot of the busy office facilities, Carmanah’s R247C solar-powered flashing beacons are helping to draw driver attention to stop signs.
With a great deal of activity and traffic, parking lots can create a challenging environment for drivers. Distractions and lack of driver attention can cause important safety signage to be ignored. Flashing warning lights instantly make signs more noticeable, thereby increasing driver and pedestrian safety.
With a compact, self-contained design and a slip-fit mounting, Carmanah’s R247C flashing beacons installed easily onto existing stop sign hardware and required minimum technical expertise. No specialized work crews were required for installation, as the solar flashing beacons did not require a connection to the electrical grid.
Designed to function for up to five years with no scheduled maintenance, the reliable performance and the freedom from the electrical grid offered by the solar flashing beacons will continue to provide the department store with significant cost-savings.
Carmanah’s solar flashing beacons improve safety in virtually any location.
Adding commercial lights to your parking lot can also help improve safety. See our solar LED parking lot lighting solutions here.
