Credit Type: 1LU/HSW

Presenter: Kristi Spohn, SESCO Lighting

Description: This CEU frames the balance and bridges the gap between human and wildlife needs and environmental responsibility by designing nighttime lighting that safely protects the health and welfare of both wildlife and people. It explains that wildlife-sensitive exterior lighting is a design discipline involving source, luminaire, placement, aiming and controls. The course material moves from the "Why" into standards, regulation, design tools and real-world applications and it emphasizes that good wildlife lighting design is intentional, controlled and appropriate for people, wildlife and the environment.
