Carmanah and BetaLED Illuminate Public Park in Santiago, Chile

Author: SSLighting Design News Staff

February 25, 2010... A public park in Santiago, Chile is lighting its pathways with EverGEN solar LED lights from Carmanah Technologies. The lights were provided through Carmanah distributor Emelta S.A. The EverGEN units are reportedly installed around a walking path that runs throughout Juan Pablo II Park in the community of Las Condes in Santiago. Carmanah contends that the lights were chosen for their integrated form factor and proven performance.

Carmanah says that its EverGEN solar LED lights provide park users with an increased sense of security along the walking path and lengthen the number of hours the park can be used each day. Carmanah points out that its EverGen LED lights do not need trenching or electrical grid connections, and can be installed quickly without disruption to the park environment. EverGen features fixtures from BetaLED which reportedly reduce light pollution compared to conventional light sources.

"We knew Las Condes was looking to install solar LED lighting in the park and we felt strongly that the Carmanah EverGEN was the right solution," said Carlos Hornauer, Director for Emelta S.A. "Once our client saw the aesthetic design, the focused light output of the EverGEN and the strong reputation of Carmanah products, they agreed."

"With increased attention on sustainable solutions, we are seeing a growing demand for solar LED lighting for outdoor applications," said Ted Lattimore, Carmanah CEO. "As was the case with this installation, Carmanah EverGEN solar LED lighting systems tend to stand out because of their aesthetics and their ability to meet light output requirements."
