Carmanah, frog design to intro next-gen solar-LED area lights

VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA: Carmanah Technologies has signed an agreement with frog design inc. to introduce the next benchmark in solar-LED area lighting.

Established in 1969, frog design is a global innovation firm that has pioneered some of the world’s most groundbreaking designs for trendsetting companies such as Apple, Disney, HP, Louis Vuitton, Logitech, Microsoft, and Sony.

"Exploring the possibilities for the next generation of solar powered lighting is an exciting design challenge,” noted Doreen Lorenzo, president of frog design. “Alternative energy solutions are a big part of the future of the field of innovation. We’re excited to be partnering with industry leaders like Carmanah.”

Built on nearly two decades of experience developing self-contained solar-LED lanterns and beacons for the marine and aviation industries, Carmanah’s solar-powered street, parking lot and pathway lights help businesses and communities introduce outdoor area lighting wherever it’s needed, without trenching, cabling, grid access, or a monthly utility bill.

With more than a quarter of a million units deployed, Carmanah products are widely used and recognized around the world for durability, performance and dependability — operating safely and reliably in some of the world’s most challenging environments.

For this significant new product, Carmanah is committed to introducing a trend-setting design that incorporates the unique benefits of today’s photovoltaic, LED and lighting technology. “With solar energy more attractive than ever, I believe our technology is fast approaching the tipping point between industry innovation and widespread acceptance,” said Ted Lattimore, Carmanah CEO.

“Thanks to the amazing capabilities of today’s solar-LED technology, solar-LED lighting can offer convenience without compromise — as an affordable, high-performance alternative to traditional wired systems. Today’s high-output LEDs produce more light for less power, so batteries, panels and support structures can be smaller and lighter than ever before,” said Lattimore.

“That’s why we’re so excited to work with the creative professionals at frog design; together we can deliver a powerful new lighting alternative that’s high performance, low maintenance, and great looking — day or night.”
