Wind (3+mph):
The rotational speed of the FireFly increases effectiveness.
Fixed Models are effective on guy wires owing to direct
wind contact to the flapper/wires.
Sun:
The reflective/luminescent properties of the FireFly require
maximum sunlight for day and low light/fog effectiveness.
A UV Index of 3 or greater is best.
During periods of heavy cloud cover or when the UV Index
drops to 1 or less, some birds will challenge the diverters.
Tests have shown that when the sun emerges the birds emit
an alarm call and are flushed from the roost area.
The Firefly has no ‘halo’ effect and produces
an initial light emission of 6 lumens per cubic meter which
reduces to 1 lumen PCM 1-2 hours after sunset - similar
to moonlight on snow.
Flight Path:
The FIREFLY 1, installed 15’-30’ apart on power
lines or cell tower guy wires, etc affects avian vision
reducing thereby reducing collisions. The FIREFLY II is
dependent upon a similar configuration owing to architectural
/ environmental distractions. The FIREFLY III is used on
fencing and overhead grid systems.
Observe bird flight patterns and install multiple Firefly(s)
directly in flight path. The Swivel Bracket and Conduit
Swivel increase effectiveness. These brackets can be adapted
to almost any environmental/structural condition.
Birds often will challenge the FireFly for 10 days or more.
Re-locate FireFly as necessary.
