The claim that wind turbine lighting negatively impacts community well-being and local aesthetics is acknowledged by the U.S. wind power industry. Wind turbine lights, required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for aviation safety, are an essential component of wind farm infrastructure. Over time, the wind industry has worked closely with the FAA to reduce the visual impact of these lights without compromising safety.The FAA mandates lighting on structures exceeding 200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) to ensure pilot visibility and protect air traffic safety.(1) Understanding community concerns about visual aesthetics, the wind industry has actively advocated for adjustments to these lighting requirements. For instance, not every wind turbine in a farm needs to be lit, and synchronized flashing systems have been implemented to minimize visual disruption. This helps reduce the "visual clutter" effect often associated with multiple flashing lights across wind farms.(2) In addition, turbines are painted white to improve daytime visibility, reducing the need for additional lighting during the day.
