The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has developed a model lighting ordinance as a guideline to help coastal counties and municipalities in Florida develop their own local ordinances to protect sea turtles from the adverse effects of artificial lighting.

By knowing what types of lamps to install, people can help to protect sea turtle hatchlings and other beach-dwelling animals. When retrofitting fixtures for beachfront commercial and residential property, proper Sea Turtle lighting can provide adequate lighting for safety, attractiveness and compliance with beachfront lighting ordinances.

ZLED Lighting’s amber lamps are sea turtle-friendly because they utilize the proper long-wavelength light of nanometers needed. This is ZLED's C-E26-CL-15W-585NM-NC-DIRECTIONAL, a 15 watt directional amber corn cob lamp. Applications include post top fixtures and are IP65 Rated for residential and commercial applications.
