VICTORIA, British Columbia - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Carmanah Technologies (TSX: CMH) is pleased to announce that the Mexican
National Civil Aviation Authority has approved the use of Carmanah

A704-5 and A650 specifications to the civil aviation authorities for
consideration and approval. We are pleased to announce that the Carmanah
lights have been approved for use on obstructions up to 45m tall such as
telecommunication towers and other obstruction applications outside

According to Ted Lattimore, Carmanah CEO, "We are very pleased to see
yet another country's aviation authority validating the use of solar
powered LED signal lights. The reliability and robust design of the

marking. With maintenance free operation for years, owners and operators
of assets requiring obstruction marking can reduce their costs
associated with servicing and maintaining obstruction lighting by using
solar lights. With no connection to the grid, these lights are never
