| Solar-powered traffic beacons in LA County Carmanah Technologies has completed the installation of 62 solar-powered LED flashing beacons in 31 school zones across Los Angeles County. The installations will warn motorists of upcoming school zones and reduced speed limits. Carmanah's solar-powered flashers offer a number of benefits over traditional hard-wired systems. They charge in all weather conditions, operate maintenance-free for five years, and are programmable for 500 days. Installation requires no external power, trenching, cabling or special permits, and causes no disruption to traffic flow. The beacons will be used in Azusa, City Terrace, Santa Fe Springs, Walnut Park, Florence, Rosewood, Hacienda Heights, La Mirada, Pasadena, Palmdale, and Stevenson Ranch. Carmanah Technologies Corporation is a manufacturer of energy-efficient technologies. The company is focused on three technology groups: solar power systems and equipment, solar-powered LED lighting, and LED illuminated signage. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
