Landscape Lighting Techniques for Trees

While there are many different outdoor lighting techniques, there are two techniques we commonly use to light trees – uplighting and downlighting. While both are equally effective, they each provide very different results. When deciding which technique to use, consider the visual effect that these lighting techniques produce and what you want to do with the area you’re lighting.

Uplighting Trees

The first technique is called uplighting and involves shining light up onto the tree from lights that are positioned at ground level. Uplighting is the most common landscape lighting technique because these lights are relatively easy to install, and they beautifully illuminate the tree from the base up. Depending on the height of the tree and the lumen output of the lamps, the light may extend onto the first few layers of branches and even up into the canopy. Uplighting works best in situations where you want to draw attention to the trees themselves and avoid casting too much light on the ground below.
