Lion lights are devices designed to scare away lions from a set perimeter to protect cattle and other herd animals.[1][2] Lion lights were originally invented by Richard Turere to prevent night attacks by lions on his family's cattle, which also helps prevent lions from being hunted in retaliation by poachers.

Through the Lion Lights Foundation, Turere has implemented lighting systems in various African communities to illuminate livestock enclosures.
Lion Lights systems have been implemented in various African communities.
