Undirected artificial light is a danger to the sea turtles who nest on our beaches because the hatchlings can become disoriented and head towards the light rather than out to sea.
At the same time, unlit areas are hazardous for residents and guests of
beach homes and businesses.
Enter Lumencia’s Turtle Safe Lighting: it combines a long wavelength
Amber LED, which measures 590 nanometers and is less visible to
animals, with deep shields that create smaller pools of directed light. This
provides safe lighting for humans while eliminating lighting overflow that
can possibly attract turtle hatchlings, making it a win-win solution.
