Wildlife Lighting Criteria

In order to meet the criteria for Wildlife Lighting, a fixture, lamp, or community lighting must be able to satisfy all three of the conditions below:

The mounting: Is it mounted as low as possible?

The bulb: Is it long wavelength? Is the wattage as low as possible?

Fixture Approval Process

To have a fixture or bulb certified as Wildlife Lighting, the manufacturer should submit a sample of the fixture/bulb along with specifications, cutsheet, and an explanation of how the light meets the three criteria above (LOW, SHIELDED, and LONG).

All submitted fixtures must be fitted with a plug that fits into a regular wall socket.  If you are submitting an individual lamp for testing, you must provide a fixture for the lamp to be tested in that is fitted with a plug that fits into a regular wall socket.

Submittals should be mailed to the following address:

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
