After Hurricane Charley swept through Punta Gorda, Florida in 2004, Carmanah's solar-powered beacons were the only visible points of light on an otherwise blacked-out the river.

Durable, reliable and easy to deploy on a moment's notice, Carmanah solar-powered lanterns are widely used by coast guards and port authorities around the world, both as permanent aids to navigation, and for emergency preparedness and disaster-response applications.
After Hurricane Charley swept through Punta Gorda, Florida in 2004, Carmanah's solar-powered beacons were the only visible points of light on an otherwise blacked-out the river.
When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans the following year, Carmanah diverted its entire inventory and production to help meet the immediate demand for stand-alone marine, railway and aviation lights throughout the region. Carmanah lights are ideal for emergency applications because they are solar-powered and fully self-contained.
They can be installed anywhere in minutes, operate reliably for years without need of external electrical infrastructure, and are virtually indestructible.
According to Mat Regier, Carmanah sales channel manager for the Southeastern United States, this latest shipment of lights will be deployed as aids to navigation across 19 regions, including New Orleans, Louisiana; Galveston, Texas; Corpus Christi, Texas; and Mobile, Alabama, with a portion being stored at strategic locations for emergency response.
"While providing reliable day-to-day service as bright and effective aids to navigation, this shipment of solar LED lanterns also offers a stand-alone lighting alternative that can be deployed wherever they're needed at a moment's notice," said Regier.
