Carmanah Technologies introduced its next generation of solar-powered LED lights at the LightFair International tradeshow and conference in New York City.

As part of a new "General Illumination" (GI) product line, the company featured a range of solar-powered lights for street and parking lot applications, including the new EverGEN 1500, along with a preview of the company's new EverGEN 1700-series design. 

As a stand-alone alternative to traditional hard-wired streetlights, Carmanah stated that its solar-powered lights are designed to offer convenience without compromise. Carmanah said its lights deliver bright, uniform illumination wherever it's needed -- without trenching, cabling or grid access.

Featuring custom fixtures by LED-lighting designer Beta Lighting, Carmanah explained that its solar-powered lights offer output and performance in accordance with IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America) guidelines. A full-cutoff "Dark Sky"-friendly design directs light only where needed (preventing glare or spillover of light onto neighboring properties or into the night sky), while integrated energy management and motion-sensing capabilities ensure optimal lighting performance year round. As a dependable, long-lasting lighting solution, Carmanah noted its EverGEN lights are covered by a five-year limited system warranty.

Ted Lattimore, Carmanah CEO, said, "These are exciting times for solar lighting. It's a proven technology: reliable, convenient and affordable with a low total cost of ownership. On new construction you can now save money by choosing solar over grid power -- that just makes sense; if you can save money by switching to a clean renewable resource, it's time to think solar."
