Carmanah LEDs sparkle all through Uncle Sam’s territory
Sparkling LEDs definitely add more to any
city's outlook and when it has been done by
specialists, the results are bound to be
outstanding. We simply cannot resist praising
them. S&G brings the latest LEDs sparkling
all through Uncle Sam’s territory.
Canada-based Carmanah
Technologies Corporation,
one of the world’s premier
suppliers of renewable and
energy-efficient technologies,
including LED-illuminated
signage, solar-powered LED
lighting and solar power systems
and equipment, has received an
initial $285,000 order for LED
internally illuminated street name
signs for a high profile sign
replacement project in midtown
Manhattan, New York.
With more than 250,000
installations worldwide,
Carmanah’s LED sign technology
is being deployed at intersections
in two of the largest business
improvement districts in New
York City. The signs are installed
around famous Midtown
Manhattan landmarks, including
the Empire State Building, Grand
Central Station, the Chrysler
Building and Madison Square
Gardens.
Carmanah’s LED sign technology
was chosen after years of
research and extensive fieldtesting
of several options for
illuminated street name signs. Sign
functionality and performance, as
well as Carmanah’s reputation for
high quality and excellent
customer service were key
factors in the selection process.
Carmanah worked closely with
the business improvement
districts to develop a customized
sign solution that met
performance specifications and
also fit within the design scheme
for New York’s street name
signage. Carmanah’s internally
illuminated street name signs offer
an ultra slim profile, extreme
durability with high wind load
ratings, and a variety of mounting
options.
“While Carmanah street name
signs are normally supplied to
cities, counties and DOTs, business
improvement districts across
North America are now looking to
this technology to improve district
streetscapes, while enhancing
driver and pedestrian safety,” said
Art Aylesworth, Carmanah CEO.
Also Reno Casino, Nevada
recently lit up its slots with
Carmanah LED edge-lit signs. The
striking colour-changing, doublespaned
signs were customized to
display the casino’s unique
mountains-and-trees logo and
enhance the casino’s design
theme. Thousands of Carmanah’s
unique, award-winning illuminated
signs can be found in over 450
casinos, hotels and cruise ships
around the world.
