CARMANAH TECHNOLOGIES CORP ("CMH-V;CMHXF-0")
- Awarded $235,000 Contract with US Military
Carmanah Technologies Corporation is pleased to announce that it has
recently been awarded a $235,000 government contract for airfield lighting
at a U.S. Army Air Base in Iraq.
Carmanah will light the entire Sustainer Army airfield with its
patented, solar-powered LED aviation lights by supplying 210 taxiway edge
lights, 128 runway edge lights, 20 runway end identifier lights and 16
heli-pad perimeter lights.
"This order represents a major milestone for Carmanah", states Art
Aylesworth, Carmanah's CEO. "It validates our proven solar-powered LED
technology as a complete airfield lighting solution."
Airfield lighting conditions at Sustainer Army Air Base are extremely
challenging. Due to recent conflict, there is no permanent lighting
infrastructure in place. Current portable lighting systems used require
daily maintenance, battery charging, generator use and fossil fuel
dependence. In comparison, Carmanah's aviation lights will provide a
significantly lower cost alternative that (1) eliminates the demand for
external grid power and/or generator use, (2) eliminates the manual
recharging required, and (3) eliminates the need for scheduled maintenance.
In addition, Carmanah's patented durable designs have enabled its lights to
operate reliably under the extreme temperatures and harsh environmental
conditions common in the Middle East.
Since January 2003, Carmanah has sold more than $500,000 in airfield
lighting to the U.S. Military for air bases in the United States, the
Middle East and Asia.

To support its Aviation Lighting Division, Carmanah has recently set up

and its specific market needs.
