Victoria, British Columbia, September 27, 2007- Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX: CMH) is pleased to announce the Company has received an initial $285,000 order for LED internally illuminated street name signs for a high profile sign replacement project in midtown Manhattan, New York. Carmanah's signs, which use 90% less energy than traditional lighting, are being deployed at intersections in two of the largest business improvement districts in New York City. The signs will be installed around famous Midtown Manhattan landmarks, including the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, the Chrysler Building and Madison Square Gardens.
Carmanah's energy efficient LED sign technology was chosen after years of research and extensive field-testing of several options for illuminated street name signs. Sign functionality and performance, as well as Carmanah's reputation for high quality and excellent customer service were key factors in the selection process. Carmanah worked closely with the business improvement districts to develop a customized sign solution that met performance specifications and also fit within the design scheme for New York's street name signage.
Carmanah's internally illuminated street name signs offer an ultra slim profile, extreme durability with high wind load ratings, as well as a variety of mounting options. For more information please visit http://www.roadlights.com/content/products/default.aspx?p=lis
"While Carmanah street name signs are normally supplied to cities, counties and DOTs, business improvement districts across North America are now looking to this technology to improve district streetscapes while enhancing driver and pedestrian safety," said Carmanah CEO, Art Aylesworth. "We are very pleased to be selected as the supplier for New York's sign enhancement project; it's an ideal showcase for our sign technology."
Carmanah will exhibit at the International Downtown Association IDA tradeshow in New York City on Sept 14-18, 2007, where the Company will have its LED street name signs on display.
