FWC & Wildlife Compliant Coastal Solar Lighting Solutions

Engineered to protect sea turtle hatchlings while providing autonomous off-grid illumination for coastal resorts, municipal pathways, beach parks, and waterfront developments.

Every year, thousands of sea turtle hatchlings along coastal shorelines are disoriented by high-intensity artificial outdoor lighting. Newborn sea turtles rely naturally on light reflections from the ocean horizon to guide them toward the water. Standard white LED outdoor fixtures produce heavy blue-spectrum light wavelengths that lure hatchlings inland, leading to severe ecological mortality.

According to wildlife research by the Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) and guidelines set by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), wildlife-friendly luminaires must strictly eliminate short-wavelength light under 560 nanometers while featuring full-cutoff optical shielding.

SOLTECH develops commercial-grade turtle-friendly solar lighting systems integrated with low-wattage Phosphor Converted Amber (PCA) and True Amber limited-wavelength LEDs (>560nm). Our solar off-grid systems eliminate costly electrical trenching while delivering sustainable, code-compliant illumination to sensitive coastal environments.

SOLTECH Turtle Friendly SUNLIKE Amber Solar Outdoor Light Luminaire

3 Core Requirements of Wildlife-Safe Outdoor Lighting

SOLTECH's coastal solar luminaires are custom engineered around the established 3-Pillar Wildlife Lighting framework approved by environmental engineers and regulatory authorities.

Keep it low icon

1. KEEP IT LOW

Mount luminaires at low fixture heights with minimal lumen output required for task safety. Lower mounting heights drastically restrict overall light trespass toward beachfront nesting areas.

Keep it long icon

2. KEEP IT LONG

Utilize long-wavelength monochromatic LED diodes (>560 nm). True Amber LEDs emit narrow spectral bands that remain completely invisible or non-disruptive to sea turtles and marine fauna.

Keep it shielded icon

3. KEEP IT SHIELDED

Design zero-uplight full-cutoff fixtures with recessed light sources and down-directed optics to prevent direct lamp visibility from beach viewpoints and minimize horizontal spill.
