Carmanah Provides Marking Lights for Telecommunications Towers in Ecuador.

Carmanah to supply 120 of its Model 601 solar-powered LED red marking lights for installation on telecommunications towers throughout Guayaquil, the largest city and main port in Equador.

Working through an authorized regional distributor, Carmanah has received an order to supply 120 of its Model 601 solar-powered LED red marking lights for installation on telecommunications towers throughout Guayaquil, the largest city and main port in Equador.

This order represents a second phase in the project, and brings the number of solar LED marking lights installed to 180. Carmanah solar-powered LED lighting technology was selected for this project primarily because of its proven performance and reliability during the first phase, as well as the ease of installation and low maintenance costs.

About Carmanah's Solar LED Obstruction Lights

Carmanah's solar-powered LED obstruction lights are completely self-contained and can be installed in minutes with minimal technical expertise. They are designed to operate with no scheduled maintenance for up to 5 years. As these fixtures use light emitting diodes for illumination, there are no bulbs to replace for the operating life of the unit. Carmanah's obstruction lights are also shock-proof, vibration-proof and watertight. They have been field-proven to operate reliably under the harshest of environmental conditions and extreme temperatures.

Carmanah is a world leader in renewable and energy-efficient technologies, with more than 250,000 installations in 110 countries. In May 2006, the Company also proudly unveiled its Model A704-5 next generation obstruction light. This unit meets ICAO Annex 14 Type A Standards and provides a host of new features, including:


  • Revolutionary new lens design with unprecedented efficiency, increased vertical divergence and improved performance
  • Integrated push-button manual switch for quick, hands-on control of critical lighting functions and diagnostics
  • External power capability (military-spec connector)

    • Enables AC/DC charging capability for long-term storage and transport situations when used for temporary applications
    • Enables AC/DC continuous operating capabilities for extreme weather conditions and/or poor solar environments
    • Enables the connection of external solar panels for regions with poor solar conditions or when brighter LED output is required

  • Proprietary MICROSOURCE® power management technology now includes Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for more efficient solar charging
  • More powerful battery system enabling up to 600 hours of operating autonomy without additional charging
  • New integrated carry handle for easy transport
  • Can now be ordered in white, aviation yellow (civilian applications) or olive drab green housings (defense applications)
