Turtle-Safe / FWC Compliance

Beautiful at night. Compliant by law. Both, by design.

Waterfront properties in Lee and Charlotte County fall under sea-turtle lighting ordinances, and inspectors enforce them. Arc designs lighting that satisfies FWC criteria without surrendering an ounce of beauty, using Garden Light LED raw-brass fixtures with certified long-wavelength amber LEDs engineered for exactly this coastline.

  2. 2.Do any exterior lights use white or blue-white (short-wavelength) bulbs?
  3. 3.Are pool-cage, lanai, or upper-story lights left on and visible seaward after dark during sea-turtle season (May 1 – Oct 31)?
