LIGHTING APPLICATIONS
Installing artificial lighting in sensitive coastal areas requires a great deal of consideration – wildlife such as turtles and penguins rely on natural light (such as the moon) for safety and orientation. Advanced Lighting Technologies are the wildlife-friendly lighting experts – contact us for more information today.
Artificial light from development near turtle habitats can disorientate nesting turtles and their offspring – who are drawn to white light, mistaking it moonlight reflecting off the ocean.
This can result in a much greater mortality rate among new hatchlings.
Specially designed amber-coloured LEDs produce light with a narrow spectral distribution that minimises disruption to turtle behaviour.
Amber LEDs also typically produce fewer lumens than their white-light equivalent, reducing disruption to wildlife even further.
Advanced Lighting Technologies’ offer wildlife-friendly amber LEDs in products from suppliers such as Cree Lighting & Holophane.
