How to light up the trees in the garden?

There are so many solutions on the subject and they are identified according to the type of garden, the dimensions and the style you intend to adopt. If, for example, the green space is small, it is possible to illuminate it with lights placed on tall lamps that, in addition to performing a function, are also aesthetically pleasing to see. On the contrary, for large gardens, it is possible to opt for energy-saving spotlights placed along low walls or fences that surround the paths.

First of all, since they are lighting products that will be placed outside, it is always good to choose products with the right degree of IP protection.

As for the color temperature, our advice to bring out the best plants and trees is to opt for a neutral white (4000K).

And what about the lumens? This depends on the size of the tree.

·        For 4 meters high:  1500 to 2500 Lumens
·        For 6 meters high:  3000 - 3500 Lumens
·        For 10 meters high:  4500 - 6000 Lumens

How to illuminate the plants and the lawn with LEDs?

LEDs are electronic devices that allow you to illuminate in a full and diffused way with a low energy impact. LED lamps are not subject to overheating and can therefore also, be placed near trees and lawns. A very interesting installation is that which is carried out with small LED lighting, as if to recreate a starry sky that makes the garden even more suggestive, or installations of LEDs and spotlights distributed in the garden areas where more light is required, such as the entrance area or the food area in which one eats. To understand what type of lighting to use in the garden, just follow your habits, modulating the intensity according to the real needs without overloading because of the light must conform to the rest.

For what specifically concerns ornamental plants and flowers, lighting serves to give the right emphasis to colors and shapes.

Warm white will accentuate the colors, while cold white will give more emphasis to the shapes.

Lighthouses and spotlights: which ones to choose?

The choice between the headlights and spotlights for the garden depends on how much you want to light up the spaces. If the garden is used as a corner of the isolated house in which to rest and reflect, it is good to opt for minimal spotlights to be inserted in strategic areas, if, instead, in the garden one has the habit of reading, eating and receiving guests, it is preferable to opt for the LEDs that emit a more intense beam of light. From the consumption point of view, the LED weighs little on the energy bill and has a duration tripled compared to incandescent bulbs. When you want to set up a system to light up the garden, you can also ask for help from the external decorators of the sector or experts in the field who, through their skills, can advise you in the best way.

To illuminate the tree trunks it would be advisable to choose LED spotlights with vertical flow. In this way we will emphasize the trunk of the tree, creating also light effects that will affect the dimensions of the garden itself, making it seem larger.

The picket spotlights have the great advantage of being able to be moved, as the tree grows.
