Here’s how we do tree lighting. Sometimes you’ll see lighting “professionals” run a naked wire up a tree and splice a fixture on. No way. That’s not how we do it.

We encase the wire in flexible conduit, called “Sealtite,” and bury that 6-8″ below grade. We run that up the tree to a reasonable stopping place, then extend UV resistant low voltage wire out the branch to optimum position. We attach the Sealtite with a bracket and stainless steel screws, leaving some leeway for tree growth and heat expansion.

For this CAST fixture, we are installing a “Synergie” LED lamp made by Ushio.

This fixture is aimed to down light a water feature. If the fixture were aimed through foliage to the turf or walkway areas it would create a beautiful moonlight effect.
