THE TECHNOLOGY
Carmanah occupies a leading edge position in its industry for its
advancements in solar L.E.D. lighting technology. L.E.D. (light emitting
diode) technology represents the most fundamental improvement in lighting
technology since the invention of the light bulb. L.E.D.s produce light by a
semi-conductor chip in a process that is extremely efficient; thereby
increasing their life span over a conventional incandescent light bulbs by
at least 20 times. LED's use far less power than incandescent bulbs and emit
negligible heat.
Current breakthroughs in L.E.D. technology, in the form of higher light
output and a wider color range, have made it possible for Carmanah to
develop proprietary, patented technologies around the core concept of
efficient L.E.D. light. By fully integrating a combination of L.E.D.s,
high-efficiency solar power, advanced power storage systems and intelligent
power management, Carmanah produces Carmanah Lights - the world's premier
line self-contained lighting products for navigation and hazard marking
applications.
