The new light is designed as a compact stand-alone lighting alternative for off-grid parking lots and other municipal, commercial or industrial areas. Featuring a dark-sky friendly LED fixture designed by lighting manufacturer BetaLED, the EverGEN 1710 solar light incorporates all of the elements of a complete solar power system in a compact, pole-mounted design developed by world-renowned global innovation firm frog design.
According to Ted Lattimore, Carmanah chief executive officer, Carmanah and frog design shared a common goal throughout the design process: to present a powerful new lighting alternative characterized by elegance of design and efficiency of operation. “We knew this light would be special — delivering big system performance in the smallest form factor yet — so when it came to the design, we wanted the very best,” said Lattimore. “Working closely with the team at frog, we settled on a unique design that reflects the essence of renewable energy: clean, simple, practical and efficient. Although it’s a tough, high output, industrial-strength light, the quality finish and distinctive, contemporary styling would look great just about anywhere,” said Lattimore. “But best of all it performs better than anything in its category — it’s a practical, cost-effective renewable energy alternative.”
In discussing the partnership with Carmanah, Doreen Lorenzo, president of frog design, said, “The opportunity to partner with Carmanah to create a solution that is both beautiful and functional was one our designers embraced. It is a great example of innovation positively affecting our environment.”
