According to reports, Access Fixtures introduced LED turtle friendly lights
to protect sea turtle hatchlings. Also known as wildlife lights, the turtle
friendly LED bollard lights use 7 watt amber led high bay light that are visible to humans,
but not to turtles. The bollard lights are ideal for waterfront areas that are
visible from the beach, including private properties, condos, country clubs and
marinas. Furthermore, the LEDs are energy efficient, long-lasting, and require
low maintenance.
"The demand for turtle-friendly lighting has increased now that many
waterfront locations are requiring it," said Access Fixtures Sales Manager, Dan
Rodriguez. He added, "The new amber LED bollard lights respond to the frequent
need for environmentally-compliant turtle lights as well as the growing demand
for energy efficient lighting."
When sea turtles are hatched, they instinctively move towards the moonlight
reflecting off the ocean. Due to light pollution, sea turtles have been found
wandering inland instead of out to sea. While turtles can see higher color
temperatures used in fluorescent or incandescent light sources, they cannot see
longer wavelengths like 590 nm used in amber LEDs.
The LED bollard lights are available in round or square, with the choice of
standard reflector or type-5 glass. The amber led flood light source is also available
separately to replace lamps in existing fixtures. To withstand coastal climate
conditions, the bollards have enhanced durable housings. Beyond turtle-friendly
lighting, the LEDs have 80% energy savings compared to incandescent lamps and
have an average life of 50000 hours. The amber LED module can easily be switched
for more typical color temperatures for use outside of turtle nesting
season.
