ECO-FRIENDLY ILLUMINATION FOR THE PROTECTION OF NOCTURNAL FAUNA

BEGA have developed luminaires with BEGA BugSaver ® technology for efficient illumination in urban and natural environments. This technology enhances the sense of security for inhabitants, while additionally protecting nocturnal animals.

A flexible colour temperature and light output allow the shielded light to blend into the environment at different times without affecting the natural balance. while still ensuring the safe illumination of the entire terrain as a fundamental component of the overall lighting design.

THE TECHNOLOGY

• For the protection of nocturnal animals, we switch the light-up Amber colour to 3000 Kelvin
• The significantly reduced blue light component of Amber light is less attractive to insects
• An additional reduction of the light output during night-time hours enhances the effect
• Less stray light also reduces unnecessary light pollution in the night sky
• Flora and fauna experience less distraction
• The technology is controlled Using BEGA BugSaver ® control devices or a superordinate DALI light controller

SWITCH OF COLOUR TEMPERATURE & OUTPUT REDUCTION

Using the BEGA BugSaver ® control devices, the colour temperature of the luminaires can be switched from 3000 Kelvin to an Amber light colour with significantly reduced blue light components similar to a colour temperature of 1800 Kelvin. The light becomes significantly less attractive for insects. Another option is the simultaneous output reduction to lesser light intensity.
