The Turtles Can Sleep a Little Better Tonight

Millerbernd Lighting has received the Florida Wildlife Lighting Certification for its MBT-24 "SS Turtle" Bollard, a non-corrosive "turtle-friendly" solution for coastal lighting. It was high time we gave those little guys a break and helped to lead them to the ocean where they at least stand a chance to survive!

The official word was provided by Eric Seckinger, environmental specialist II, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, he said, "We are pleased to report that the MBT-24 Bollard met or exceeded all three criteria for Wildlife Lighting Certification and is now recommended for use in areas where artificial lighting is needed adjacent to ecologically sensitive areas, sea turtle nesting beaches, migratory corridors, and Dark Sky Friendly communities."

The key to the certification is to provide a fixture that will give off light at the appropriate angle and spectrum so as not to disturb the turtle hatchlings while housing it in a long life bollard that (in Millerbernd's case) will actually outlive the multi-thousand hour LED's themselves.

Give me a call and check out the MBT-24 or also known as the "S.S. Turtle Bollard"; it's environmentally-friendly, cost efficient and, as always, designed and built in the USA. If you want to experience our company's products and services, give me a call at (320) 485-2685, ask for Mitch.
