45 Watt Knight Guard Less Than 2 Percent Blue Light Content LED Medium Wallpack Full Cutoff

Product Description

The EnviroLux EES-VN44Q Low Profile Large Surface Mount luminaire With Knight Guard Technology is designed to produce less than 2 percent blue light and to specifically to replace incumbent Low Pressure Sodium light sources and produce higher efficiency than Amber light sources . Typical lighting applications include retail centers, industrial parks, schools and universities, public transit and airports, office buildings and medical facilities. Mounting heights of 12 to 20 feet can be used based on light level and uniformity requirements.

The 45 Watt EnviroLux Knight Guard LED Canopy Fixture With Less Than 2 Percent Blue Light is designed to replace HID lighting systems from 150w to 250w.  This product is compliant in areas close to beaches where environmental lighting codes apply.

The typical commercial applications for this product include:

• Retail centers
• Industrial parks
• Airports
• Office buildings

Mounting heights of 9 to 18 feet can be used based on light level and uniformity requirements.

Environmental Impact

For millions of years, female sea turtles have come ashore to lay their eggs on beaches. When the eggs hatched, the hatchling turtles were guided to the ocean.

They were led by an instinct to travel away from the dark silhouettes of the dune vegetation and toward the brightest horizon, which was the light from the sky reflecting off the ocean.

However, many coastal areas have become highly populated, and artificial lights have been added near the beaches. This artificial light deters female sea turtles from nesting and disorients hatchling sea turtles.

Rather than traveling towards the sea, the hatchlings travel inland toward the artificial lights. This causes them to die from dehydration, be preyed upon by fire ants and ghost crabs, or even get run over by cars on the road.

This disorientation from artificial lights has led to thousands of hatchling deaths in the state of Florida each year. It has also created a significant marine turtle conservation problem.

Statewide efforts have gathered information from disorientation reports and have used this to facilitate light management on nesting beaches and to research additional remedies for light-related threats.

Historically, low-pressure sodium-vapor (LPS) lighting has been used to deter sea turtles away from beaches. Since LPS sources are monochromatic, they give poor color rendition and utilize high amounts of energy.

In an effort to convert to LED while maintaining Florida’s guidelines for proper light wavelengths, NASA sought out EnviroLux Energy Systems to develop an Amber LED solution.

This solution would improve the quality of light without harming sea turtle migration and enable the management of thousands of fixtures through a wireless cloud for optimum energy savings.

For the past 28 years, EnviroLux Energy Systems has been a leader in energy-efficient lighting.
