Reveal Natural Form
Layered uplighting reveals trunks, branches and canopy structure without flattening the landscape.
Tree and Landscape Planting Lighting
Outdoor tree and landscape planting lighting using adjustable beam spike lights to illuminate trunks, canopies and changing planting compositions with precise, low-glare light.
Landscape Lighting Priorities
Match Beam to Plant Scale
Select narrow, medium or zoomable beams to fit young trees, mature specimens and grouped planting precisely.
Outdoor Reliability
Use IP-rated luminaires, sealed optics and corrosion-resistant finishes for dependable year-round operation.
Adapt as Landscapes Grow
Adjust aiming and beam spread as trees and planting mature, maintaining the design without unnecessary luminaire replacement.
Protect Night-Time Comfort
Control glare, spill light and excessive brightness to preserve visual comfort, neighbouring amenity and the night environment.
Lighting by Landscape Zone
Mature Trees
Use PROFOCUS adjustable spike spotlights from the ground because the trunk and canopy need a focused upward beam, not general floodlight. The adjustable head lets the installer aim the beam after seeing the actual branch shape on site.
15-50 deg zoom
100-300 lx on foliage
CRI 80+
Tall Palms & Narrow Trunks
Use a tighter beam because tall vertical forms lose brightness quickly when the light spreads too wide. A narrow optic keeps the light on the trunk and reduces spill into paths, windows or nearby planting.
10-20 deg narrow
100-250 lx on trunk
CRI 80+
Shrub Beds & Planting Groups
Use softer overlapping beams because low planting needs depth and texture rather than a single bright spot. Medium or wide optics help connect several plants into one visual layer.
24-50 deg medium/wide
30-100 lx on planting
CRI 80+
Landscape Feature Objects
For sculpture, signage stones or special planting, use a controlled accent beam so the eye has a clear focal point. The reason is visual hierarchy: the feature should stand out without making the whole garden too bright.
15-30 deg accent
100-300 lx on object
CRI 80+/90 when color matters
Paths & Landscape Edges
Use shielded low-level light at edges because people need orientation, but they should not see a harsh source while walking. The light should mark the route while the landscape accents remain the main visual focus.
36-60 deg shielded
5-30 lx on path
CRI 80+
