In particular, sea turtle populations have declined worldwide, and the appropriate use of lighting in coastal areas will play a vital role in their recovery. To that end, long-wavelength amber LEDs, which have been shown to dramatically reduce the environmental impact of lighting in coastal areas when used properly*, are offered as standard in several outdoor luminaires for site and area, wall mount, roadway and pedestrian applications. Additionally, narrow-band, monochromatic amber LEDs producing a wavelength of 590nm +/- 5nm are useful near observatories where artificial light can be adequately filtered for optimal performance. The warm color temperature produced is also ideal in many special applications requiring low-maintenance solutions that mimic traditional light sources. * For additional information on the impact of artificial lighting on coastal environments, see Witherington, B.
