Illuminate Outdoor Spaces Responsibly with Turtle Friendly Lights

The Importance of Turtle Friendly Lighting in Coastal Areas

Artificial light near sea turtle nesting beaches can disorient both adult turtles and hatchlings, disrupting their natural behaviors and leading them away from the ocean. By implementing sea turtle friendly lighting solutions, you can help preserve these endangered species and their habitats while maintaining necessary illumination for your property.

2. Wildlife Conservation: By adopting turtle safe lighting practices, you actively contribute to the protection of endangered sea turtles and the preservation of their natural habitats.
3. Compliance with Regulations: Many coastal areas have specific guidelines and ordinances regarding turtle friendly lighting. By installing compliant fixtures, you ensure that your property meets these requirements.

Choosing the Right Turtle Friendly Lighting Products

When selecting turtle safe lighting fixtures and amber turtle lights for your commercial or industrial property, consider the following factors:

1. Wavelength and Color Temperature: Opt for long-wavelength amber or red LEDs with a color temperature of 3000K or below, as these are less disruptive to sea turtles.
2. Light Intensity and Distribution: Choose turtle friendly lighting fixtures with low light intensity and shielding to minimize light trespass and glare on nesting beaches.
3. Mounting Height and Placement: Install turtle safe lighting at lower heights and directed away from the beach to reduce the illuminated area and minimize the impact on sea turtles.
4. Durability and Weather Resistance: Select turtle friendly lighting products with robust construction, corrosion-resistant finishes, and IP ratings suitable for coastal environments.
5. Certification and Compliance: Look for lighting fixtures that are certified by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) or other relevant authorities as turtle safe and compliant with local regulations.
