The Benefits of Tree Lighting
Tree lighting has the power to instantly elevate the appearance of your property at night, creating a more polished, upscale look. Lighting draws attention to the height, texture, and structure of trees, preventing landscapes from looking flat or dark after the sun has set.
Additionally, softly lit trees create a warm, inviting atmosphere around patios, decks, and outdoor living spaces. By illuminating dark areas of the property, it can also improve safety and visibility around pathways and gathering areas. Finally, our tree lighting solutions are designed with performance and efficiency in mind. The LED lights consume very little energy without sacrificing effectiveness, and the durable fixtures and bulbs are designed for reliable, long-term outdoor use.
Tree Lighting Techniques for Every Landscape
At Treasure Valley Lighting, we use several tree lighting techniques to create the desired effect, including:
Uplighting
Placing fixtures at the base of trees and aiming them upward through the branches is ideal for highlighting tall trees with dramatic textures.
Moonlighting
Installing lights high in the trees and creating soft, downward illumination mimics the appearance of moonlight filtering through the branches.
Silhouette lighting
Position lights behind trees to create striking silhouettes and dramatic contrast.
Grazing
Casting light on a tree at a narrow angle emphasizes its texture and details. This technique works especially well on mature trees.
Plus, with smart outdoor lighting controls, you can control your lights right from your smartphone, set timers and dusk-to-dawn automations, customize the brightness and color temperature of your lights, and more. Operating your lights has never been easier or more convenient!
