Sep 18, 2006 -Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX:CMH) is pleased to announce that it has received a $767,270 order to supply a number of its Model FP-50 solar-powered LED general lighting systems for the US Marine Corps (USMC). This order will be supplied through a US based contractor and the FP-50 units are scheduled for final installation at an air base in the Middle East during September and October, 2006.
 Carmanah FP-50 50 Watt Solar LED General Lighting System installed by USMC for airfield illumination in the Middle East. This order is a result of a field trial of nine FP-50 systems at two different USMC bases in the Middle East. The trial systems offered unparalleled light output performance and also proved to be reliable and durable, even under the extreme temperatures and harsh environmental conditions found in the Middle East. This latest order of FP-50 systems will be used for apron floodlighting, taxiway/runway intersection lighting, building lighting, path lighting and general illumination. In addition to these FP-50 systems, the USMC currently operates more than 260 Carmanah GI-102 solar-powered LED spotlights at two airbases in the Middle East. In total, more than 6000 of Carmanah's solar LED aviation lights, spotlights and floodlights are now in use by the USMC alone. About Carmanah's FP-50 Solar LED Floodlight
The FP-50 is the world's most advanced solar-powered LED general illumination system, ideal for perimeter lighting, security lighting, sign lighting and other types of floodlight applications. Using Carmanah's patented MICROSOURCE® Energy Management technologies, the FP-50 is extremely compact and cost-effective; all batteries, electronics and solar module are contained within a small housing that can be pole-mounted out of reach and out of harm's way. The FP-50 features a number of LED-based luminaire options and the system can be configured to power more than one luminaire. The FP-50 can also be programmed to operate automatically from dusk till dawn, as well as on demand using an external motion sensor or other type of switch.
