Technologies (TSX: CMH) is pleased to announce that the Mexican National
Civil Aviation Authority has approved the use of Carmanah A704-5 and
A650 solar LED signal lights for obstruction marking in accordance with
Annex 14 of ICAO regulations. Carmanah’s authorized distributor in
Mexico, Grupo Insolar SA de CV, helped in submitting the A704-5 and A650
specifications to the civil aviation authorities for consideration and
approval. We are pleased to announce that the Carmanah lights have been
approved for use on obstructions up to 45m tall such as
telecommunication towers and other obstruction applications outside
airport ranges.
According to Ted Lattimore, Carmanah CEO, “We are very pleased to see
yet another country’s aviation authority validating the use of solar
powered LED signal lights. The reliability and robust design of the
Carmanah solar lights make them a perfect solution for obstruction
marking. With maintenance free operation for years, owners and operators
of assets requiring obstruction marking can reduce their costs
associated with servicing and maintaining obstruction lighting by using
solar lights. With no connection to the grid, these lights are never
affected by grid power outages.”
Carmanah solar powered LED signal lights are currently in use around the
world by some of the largest telecommunication and utility companies,
airports, and military organizations for obstruction marking purposes.
