Turtle-Friendly Hazardous Area Lighting
ADSA certified. IECEx compliant. Built for coastal and marine sites.
If your site operates near turtle nesting grounds or sensitive marine environments, you need lighting that meets strict safety and environmental standards. We supply a specialist range of turtle-friendly amber LED lighting, certified for use in hazardous areas (IECEx) and approved by the Australasian Dark Sky Alliance (ADSA).
These fittings combine environmental responsibility with industrial durability, helping you meet compliance requirements while ensuring site safety and reliability.
Certified for the toughest conditions
Our Raytec amber LED fittings are engineered to handle both compliance and performance.
IECEx certified for safe use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas
ADSA approved to meet strict turtle-friendly lighting guidelines
Purpose-built for harsh coastal environments, with corrosion-resistant housings
Energy-efficient and low maintenance, reducing downtime and operating costs
These certifications mean you do not have to compromise. You get a fitting that is both fit-for-purpose in hazardous areas and wildlife-friendly for sensitive coastal locations.
It starts before the order
Three questions we ask alongside the part number, so the fitting is certified for the zone and the coastline alike.
Where does it run?
Zone 1 or 2 for gas, Zone 21 or 22 for dust. Distance to the beach, mounting height, salt exposure and the light-spill limits set for the site.
What is it doing?
Jetty operations, walkway lighting or area lighting. The lux levels the task needs, and whether the fitting has to be amber year round or seasonally.
What if it is wrong?
Disoriented hatchlings, an environmental breach, a costly re-fit, ignition risk, a jetty left unsafe to work.
Where it is required
Turtle-friendly lighting is increasingly required for industrial sites located near protected coastlines. Some common applications include:
LNG jetties and terminals
Amber LEDs ensure jetties remain safely lit for operations, while reducing light spill onto surrounding beaches.
Coastal processing facilities
From refineries to storage sites, turtle-friendly lighting helps operators balance compliance with site safety.
Ports and industrial waterfronts
Many port authorities are adopting turtle-friendly requirements as part of environmental regulations, making compliant fittings a must.

Why turtle-friendly lighting matters
Standard lighting can disrupt marine ecosystems, especially for endangered sea turtles during nesting season. Artificial light on beaches and jetties often disorients hatchlings, leading them away from the ocean. Turtle-friendly lighting uses low-wavelength amber LEDs that reduce light pollution and minimise harm to wildlife, while still delivering safe, reliable illumination for your site.
For facilities near sensitive habitats, choosing ADSA-certified lighting is not just about compliance. It is about reducing risk and avoiding costly environmental breaches.
Optical control you can verify
Raytec's wildlife-friendly range is BUG rated to IES TM-15-11, confirming exactly how much light escapes as backlight, uplight, and glare.
For turtle-sensitive coastal sites, that means light stays confined to the task area, regardless of how the fitting is mounted. It is this optical performance that helped Raytec achieve ADSA Prized Wildlife certification.
