Abstract
A method of lighting to protect sea turtles comprises providing in a housing both a white light source, for example a low-voltage incandescent source, and a red LED source that is visible to humans but that does not interfere with the normal nesting and hatching behavior of sea turtles, and selectively energizing the latter source during turtle nesting season.
