Sex, drugs, and sustainable rock and roll. That’s the mantra for many in the music industry as artists and managers learn how to play green, so to speak.

The US Air Force has ordered more than $450,000 of wireless solar LED lights from Carmanah Technologies Corporation to update an airfield in the middle east.

The Carmanah A704-5 lights also offer a nighttime infrared mode, for use with night vision goggles.
