This document discusses considerations for lighting and ecology. It addresses the importance of using the right light, in the right place, and at the right time. The right light involves using lower color temperatures of 2200-2700K, maintaining low intensities, and avoiding blue light. The right place is directing light downward and shielding sensitive areas. The right time is using timers, sensors and dimmers to provide dark periods and limiting duration. With an understanding of local wildlife and habitats, lighting plans can minimize negative impacts on species' circadian rhythms, feeding behaviors and photoperiod responses.
