Define the Goal
Accent trunks, reveal branching structure, or graze bark texture. Each goal picks a different beam and mounting height.
Beam Spread and Distance
Narrow beams punch canopy holes; wide floods soften silhouettes. Combine layers for large specimens.
Glare Control
Shrouds and glare guards keep light out of bedroom windows and driver sight lines.
Tree Health
Avoid strap damage and excessive heat on thin bark—follow arborist guidance for sensitive species.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many fixtures per tree?
Often one to three depending on canopy size—walk the site at night to decide.
What about palm trunks?
Use corrosion-resistant hardware and watch for fastener creep as trunks expand.
