Carmanah Provides Solar LED Lighting for Bridge Lighting Project

Author: SSLDesign News Staff

July 29, 2010... Carmanah Technologies Corporation of Victoria, British Columbia Canada is reportedly providing 26 EverGEN 1710 solar LED lighting units to illuminate the Selkirk Trestle Bridge in Victoria, BC. The lighting units will will provide illumination for pedestrians and cyclists along the length of the 300 meter long railway trestle bridge.

According to Carmanah, the EverGEN 1710 units incorporate Advanced Occupancy Sensing, leading edge occupancy sensing technology that is not offered by any other light on the market. The company says that the Advanced Occupancy Sensing allows all the lights on the trestle to be activated when just one light senses motion. Carmanah claims that this functionality significantly increases safety and security by allowing a pedestrian or cyclist to illuminate the entire bridge by moving under just the first light on the trestle.

Unlike more conventional outdoor lighting, the EverGEN 1710 units will require no electrical connections. They can install easily on the bridge and operate free of ongoing electricity bills as stipulated in the project requirements.
