Carmanah Provides Solar LED Aviation Lights for Airfield Upgrades in United Arab Emirates

VICTORIA, BC, Feb 13 (MARKET WIRE) --
Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX: CMH) has received an order through
Dubai-based GESOLAR -- the company's authorized aviation distributor in the
United
Arab Emirates (UAE) -- to supply solar-powered portable airfield lights for
privately-owned airfield applications within the region. The order, valued at
more
than $600,000, provides the tools to enhance visibility and safety at remote
airfieldsusing energy-efficient LED (light emitting diode) beacons powered by
clean,cost-effective solar energy.

Carmanah's solar-powered LED airfield lights provide a wireless lighting
alternative that is cost-effective, energy efficient, and easy to install
wherever it's needed. With no trenching or cabling required, a two-person crew
can
install a temporary runway lighting system in less than an hour, or create a
permanent installation in a single day. Free from any need for wiring,
cables, generators, fuel or electrical grid access, Carmanah's remote-controlled
airfield lights offer unparalleled convenience, reliability and performance.

For this upgrade, the order includes Carmanah's A704-5 runway edge
lights,approach lights and threshold lights, as well as A601 taxiway lights. The
order also includes the mounting hardware used to install the elevated runway
edge
lights, and wireless handheld radio remote control equipment for operating the
lights through secure wireless communications from the ground or the air. For
maximum versatility and reliability, the A704-5 lights include Carmanah's
built-in energy management system that automatically aligns light levels with
available energy resources to ensure the lights always have the power they need
to operate effectively. A programmable interface allows the user to set
on/off times, brightness levels, flash patterns, infrared or visible outputs and
more.

According to Chris Zegger-Murphy, Business Development Manager for
Carmanah's Aviation business unit, the order underscores an increased interest
in
solar aviation technology throughout the UAE and around the world. "Solar
aviation lights offer significant advantages over traditional systems whether an
airfield has access to grid power or not. But in remote locations where the
nearest source of reliable grid-based electricity can be hundreds of miles
away, it's really an attractive alternative," said Zegger-Murphy. "Solar
aviation lights are automated, durable, reliable and very effective, and with
the wireless capability of the new A704-5 light, they're more convenient than
ever. It's a sound investment for all types of airfield applications."

Carmanah is one of the largest suppliers of self-contained solar LED
airfield lights in the world. The company's advanced airfield lights have been
field-proven to endure challenging environmental conditions including extreme
temperatures, poor solar conditions, sandstorms, and flooding. With thousands
of systems in operation, Carmanah provides the tools for a full range of
airfield applications, including permanent primary lighting, temporary lighting
during airfield construction or upgrades, emergency backup lighting, as well as
expedited portable lighting during emergency or humanitarian aid operations.
