Make sure that the luminaires for outdoor use have a sufficient protection class:
- Spots embedded in the ground that illuminate the tree should have at least protection class IP 67.
- Also make sure that all other electrical components have the appropriate protection class.
Adjust spots to the ground conditions
Not every spotlight is suitable for every garden, as the local requirements differ from one another. Before you buy and install garden lighting, check:
- How much the soil is compacted by the roots.
- How high and how wide is the tree that is to be illuminated.
- How dense the leaves and needles are.
- If he Tree trunk is free or whether, for example, ivy twines around it.
What options are there to illuminate a tree?
- Surface-mounted spotlights, with which even large trees can be effectively presented, are very popular.
- Ground spike spotlights are quite inexpensive and easy to install. They are available in many designs.
- Spots can also be attached directly to the trunk with a tree-friendly attachment system so that the crown is illuminated indirectly.
- Natural stone lights into which the spotlight is embedded are less noticeable during the day. - Stainless steel goes well with modern, clearly designed gardens - In-ground spotlights very good. These can be aimed specifically at some parts of the wood.
- Spotlights with cables and plugs are ideal if you are looking for flexible tree lighting that is only installed at a certain time of the year, for example.
Tips
If you want to illuminate a tree, you should make sure that your neighbors are not disturbed by the night light source. Never point the spotlights directly at the bedroom or living room window. Coordinate the lighting with the residents, because the undesirable light emission often leads to disputes among the neighbors, which permanently poison the living environment.
