Bethany, OK Installs Solar Flashing Beacons in School Zones

Here is another great article and example of how/where solar powered lights are being used in today's world. I love sharing these examples with you and knowing the technology is being used is so many different ways.  Hopefully more solar powered flashing beacons will be used in other school zones across the country (and world).

The city of Bethany, Oklahoma is investing in 52 solar light emitting diode (LED) flashing beacons to improve the safety of the its district school zones.

Carmanah’s R829 solar LED flashing beacon is designed specifically for school-zone applications and features wireless communication between beacons, a calendar program for activation and maintenance-free operation for up to five years.

Sounds like a great investment to me. Would love to hear about other school districts or cities that are implementing these types of lights.

By the way, I live in southern Nevada and our school zone speed limits are 15 mph and they are heavily enforced (as well they should be).

Read the entire article at my blog: Buy Solar Powered Lights.

Talk soon,
