Based on THE EDGE™ line of light emitting diode (LED) commercial and industrial light fixtures from Beta Lighting, the company has developed a BetaLED fixture designed specifically for Carmanah's EverGEN™ solar engine. The result is Carmanah's brightest solar powered area light to date: a versatile stand-alone lighting solution that can be installed in minutes to illuminate parks, paths, kiosks and other outdoor areas. Directing light only where needed, the new solar-powered area light is "dark-sky friendly" as specified by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA).

"Beta Lighting has developed a leading product with this line of LED fixtures. When combined with Carmanah's stand-alone solar power supply, it provides the best and brightest illumination we've ever seen from a solar-powered area light," said Ted Lattimore, Carmanah Chief Executive Officer.

Carmanah's EverGEN™ solar engine is a compact, solar-powered energy source that uses the sun's energy to power outdoor area lighting applications. All components (including photovoltaic modules, rechargeable batteries, sensors and electronics) are integrated within a compact and durable pole-mounted design. With no trenching or cabling required, the EverGEN solar engine can be installed in minutes, with minimal technical expertise, at a fraction of the cost of a hard-wired system.

According to Alan Ruud, founder and president of Beta Lighting's parent company Ruud Lighting, Carmanah's solar technology is the perfect complement to BetaLED lighting technology. "When combined with Carmanah's powerful EverGEN solar engine, an LED lighting solution can provide considerable benefits over traditional lighting alternatives — especially in remote applications," said Ruud. "We're pleased to join Carmanah in delivering this top quality solar-LED lighting product."

See the EverGEN solar engine with the new BetaLED light fixture at LIGHTFAIR International 2008 in Las Vegas (May 28-30) (Carmanah booth #1165). For more information, visit www.carmanahlighting.com, or telephone 1.877.722.8877 (toll free in US and Canada).
