Key points: shines on the tree from one side of the viewpoint (prevents glare), turn on lights on both sides to make the tree more three-dimensional; if the viewpoint cannot be determined, you can choose 3-4 points, which have covered the entire tree.
Evergreen tree
You can arrange the light from a farther viewpoint to obtain better results. If you want to illuminate the canopy part of evergreen trees, you should use spotlights to illuminate slightly farther away. When the trees are too high, increase the lamp pole to highlight the height of the trees.
Trees with straight trunks can be used to light with narrow light distribution, illumination trunks from the downward direction, and the lamps with adjustable angles can be better.
Deciduous trees
Deciduous trees are easy to transmit light, , especially cherry blossoms, ginkgo (yellow), maple leaves (red), and the effect is better after turning on the light. If the building is close to the tree, can consider installing spotlights at the height of the exterior wall (evaluating maintenance risks) and illuminating them downwards. can not only highlight the texture of the tree, but also imprint the shadow of the tree on the ground, making the scene more graceful.
Deciduous trees can easily pass through branches and leaves when they are exposed to the bottom direction, and can basically cover the entire tree.
Medium-height evergreen tree
Considering that people's ornamental habits of medium-height evergreen tree are mostly at a relatively close distance, from the cost point of view, low wattage lamps can be tried. If there is a walking trail in the courtyard, can use lamp poles to support spotlights to illuminate downwards. not only maintains the ornamentality of the tree, but also ensures the brightness of the feet. If there is a dazzling feeling, you can add a blind cover under the lamp.
Trees extending horizontally, use wide-angle light distribution lamps, and allows light to cover the entire tree. Pay attention to maintenance and avoid falling leaves.
