"Carmanah is supplying this order through one of the world's largest outdoor advertising companies," states Art Aylesworth, Carmanah's CEO. "It is a substantial advance for Carmanah's Transit Lighting Division to be selected as a technology partner for this project. We are optimistic that this is the beginning of a long and mutually prosperous relationship between our two companies."

Beginning later this year, Carmanah's i-SHELTER™ solar-powered LED lighting kits will be installed in new and retrofitted shelters at selected locations. The benefits of the i-SHELTER™ system include: 
London bus stop

* Fast, simple and low-cost installation with no external electrical connections, power permits, or site remediation required
* No scheduled maintenance or ongoing operational costs
* Uninterrupted performance, even during major power outages like the August 2003 blackout
* Improved passenger comfort and safety leading to increased transit usage
* Off-grid power autonomy leading to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Carmanah's solar powered LED transit lighting products have received wide recognition for their unique integrated design and outstanding performance. In fact, the Company's i-STOP™ solar LED illuminated bus stop recently received the 2004 Award for Innovation from the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA).
