Exterior lighting makes your commercial location more secure and gives visitors peace of mind while creating a positive first impression with customers and partners. When planning a lighting system, don’t overlook the possibilities offered by trees, which serve as supports and natural filters. Below are a few benefits of installing tree lighting outside your business.

4 Benefits of Tree Lighting

1. A Beautiful Atmosphere

When installed correctly, specially designed resin-resistant lights can create the illusion that the trees themselves are glowing. This effect creates a unique, beautiful atmosphere that other lighting designs simply can’t match. If you prefer exterior lighting that doesn’t create harsh contrast or deep shadow, consider using the trees on your property as diffusers.

2. A Low Profile

Tall light posts can be obtrusive, detracting from your carefully planned landscaping and ruining the view you worked hard to create. Tree lights are carefully hidden in the branches, providing ample illumination without the infrastructure other lighting systems might need. If your business is located in a historic building, tree lighting can help maintain the character of the property without sacrificing safety or comfort.

3. Fewer Hiding Places

Wildlife and criminals both use trees to hide from most lighting systems. Lighting up the tree itself eliminates this cover, potentially making your property a less hospitable choice. If they feel exposed, animals and intruders alike will likely move on in search of easier targets.

4. Customizable Designs

Most tree lights are composed of LED circles that fit around the trunk. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of products with options to suit almost any aesthetic design, so your exterior lighting contractor can design a system tailored to your property.
