Easily and cost-effectively add lighting to your construction-phase wind projects


As of January 2014, FAA wind turbine determinations now typically reference solar powered L-810 compliant fixtures as an option for marking construction phase turbines 200 ft or taller.

Carmanah has been the premiere designer and manufacturer of solar powered LED lighting since 1996. As supplier to international defense forces, commercial and civil airports, and industrial sites around the globe, our products are field proven to perform reliably in conditions ranging from desert heat to arctic cold.

Features:
  • No cables or trenching
  • No onsite power required
  • Extreme temperature tested
  • Compliant photometrics
"In order to ensure proper conspicuity of turbines at night during construction, all turbines should be lit with temporary lighting once they reach a height of 200 feet or greater until such time the permanent lighting configuration is turned on... If power is not available, turbines shall be lit with self-contained solar powered LED steady red light fixture that meets the photometric requirements of an FAA Type-L-810 lighting system..."
