Irish Inventor on short visit home

Sept. 27, 2010 - PRLog -- If you have ever driven into a housing estate in Ireland after dark you will most likely have encountered problems finding the house that you are trying to locate. Indeed when an address number is not visible from the roadside it can cost the emergency services vital minutes in responding to a crisis call out.
Donegal man Daniel Friel has invented a solar product to counter this problem and one which when installed makes life easier for the emergency services, taxi-drivers and delivery personnel.
According to Friel ‘I’m an civil engineer by profession and when I started out I did a fair share of house calls in the evenings. It was a frustrating experience because in most cases I needed to walk right up to the front door before I could establish if I was at the right place’
'I decided to address the problem by designing a product which would be stylish, modern and practical. I was also keen for it to be environmentally responsible so that is why I decided that the product needed to be solar based'.
Working with his business partner Sandy Soogrim  the product was developed. When installed outside a home or business the address system is visible from 30 metres away during the day-time and at night.
‘It  it has proved very popular in Australia and has been featured on a number of TV shows and listed as a smart design product.’
Mr Friel has now has now developed a larger version of the unit which is ideal for signage be it house names, business names or security signs such as ‘private property’ or even ‘no junk mail’
The smaller unit is already available through Irish distributor purchase.ie for €34.95 plus delivery.
