In 2015 Carmanah worked with a local partner to complete the lighting of 10 Airports in Nigeria as part of FAAN’s stated continuing mandate to be a world-class provider of safe, secure and efficient services across Nigeria. Carmanah hopes create similar partnerships with aviation authorities in other African countries.
Budgets are always a consideration; however using solar aviation lighting can help minimize costs. Carmanah’s solar lights are self-contained, reliable and safety compliant. Using these lights means that airports require no trenching or grid connection to extend operating hours. Without high voltage concerns, installation costs are also minimized and there are no ongoing power requirements. Carmanah’s solar aviation lighting can make lighting an airport viable, when budget or logistical restrictions exclude traditional AC lighting and are often the best choice even when grid power is available. Solar aviation lighting is another excellent example of how evolving technologies are improving the lives of many in Africa. These innovations are leapfrogging old technologies- the integration of new battery, solar panel and LED technologies have resulted in products that can make lighting an airfield, safe, reliable, regulation compliant and cost effective.
