<DIV>VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (May 19, 2010) -- A power
generating<BR>facility in the United States is illuminating its perimeter
fencing with<BR>$1 million (USD) of solar-powered LED streetlights provided by
Carmanah<BR>Technologies. The Southwestern power generating facility, which
serves<BR>the electrical power needs of approximately four million people
in<BR>several states, made the decision to incorporate the Carmanah
EverGEN™<BR>1530 solar LED lighting systems as a security improvement to
facility<BR>grounds. The new solar lights were selected to help underscore the
power<BR>company’s commitment to renewable energies and sustainable
business<BR>practices while presenting an economical alternative to
traditional<BR>grid-powered lighting systems. Including time and installation
costs,<BR>the utility company anticipates saving an estimated $2 million
(USD).<BR><BR>“This is the second power generating station in the US to
install<BR>Carmanah EverGEN solar LED lighting technology,” said Ted
Lattimore,<BR>Carmanah CEO. “It is clear that the independent nature of the
Carmanah<BR>EverGEN lends unique benefits to power stations especially as
it<BR>pertains to the security requirements that are in place to ensure
that<BR>in the unlikely event of power failure, lighting and other
emergency<BR>systems continue to function. Solar LED perimeter lighting
ensures<BR>continuity of service and security, independent of the grid
system.”<BR><BR>The stand-alone EverGEN 1530 solar LED light is designed
specifically<BR>for industrial-scale applications such as parking lot and
perimeter<BR>lighting. Featuring the LEDway™ LED lighting fixture by BetaLED™,
the<BR>EverGEN 1530 solar-powered lights deliver unusually high performance
and<BR>uniform distribution, and operate in accordance with
Illuminating<BR>Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) guidelines. In an
effort to<BR>preserve the region’s nighttime sky for residents and visitors,
a<BR>“dark-sky” friendly full-cutoff fixture design ensures each EverGEN
1530<BR>delivers light on the ground while reducing or eliminating ‘sky
glow’.<BR><BR>EverGEN 1500-series solar LED lights are available now from
Carmanah<BR>Technologies. For more information, visit<BR><A
