How to illuminate an open area with trees at the back

Downlighting


​Sometimes after the kids finish their homework, they like to play and hang out in the backyard. However, when nighttime arrives, they stop being able to see well and can't keep playing. If you have trees in that very area, downlighting can be the perfect solution for this.

All you need to light up this space is a good quality light fixture, perfectly sealed and placed 25 ft above ground. With the right bulb wattage, beam angle and color temperature, the lack of illumination will be resolved. If you want to go extra mile, you can even install an additional Up-Light fixture at the base of the tree (as shown in the picture) and add drama to it.

That said, as this kind of installation requires the use of a power drill and extension ladder to attach the fixture to the tree, it is better to be done by a professional lighting installer.
