Coastal Friendly Illumination

Turtle Safe

Wildlife Conscious

Targetti USA's turtle-friendly lighting solutions are designed to minimize impacts on nesting sea turtles and hatchlings while providing safe, effective illumination for beachfront pathways, resorts, parks, boardwalks, and public spaces.

Select Targetti USA luminaires are available with 590nm Turtle Amber LEDs, helping reduce disruption to sensitive coastal wildlife while maintaining effective visibility. Available in Turtle-Friendly and DarkSky-compliant configurations, these fixtures combine 590nm Amber light sources, advanced shielding, and precision optical distributions to direct light only where it's needed. By minimizing uplight, glare, and light spill, they help preserve the natural night sky, protect sensitive coastal habitats, and create safe, visually comfortable outdoor environments.

Core Practices of Turtle-Friendly Lighting

Low Level Mounting

Mount luminaires as low as practical and use only the light needed for the application. Lower mounting heights and appropriate light levels reduce the amount of light visible from the beach while improving efficiency.

Shielded Source

Use fully shielded fixtures that direct light downward where it's needed. Precision optical control minimizes glare, reduces light trespass, and helps prevent direct visibility of the light source.

Amber 590nm

Specific 590nm Turtle Amber LED sources are a true amber light source with no red wavelengths, designed to minimize disruption to nesting sea turtles and hatchlings while providing effective illumination for outdoor applications.
