Oh yeah for sure, I was more thinking that two large beacons would probably manage to do even more damage to wildlife somehow

Pretty sure all that's left is rats and pigeons.

I was thinking of things like migrating birds, ocean life and bugs. Lights can mess them up and I'm thinking that adding two large beacons would probably make it worse.
