Mount fixtures 4-6m up in mature trees, aimed downward at 45-60 degree angles. Low intensity (5-20 lux on ground) mimics moonlight. Dappled shadows from branches complete illusion. Night feels like night, not artificial day.

Designer Notes
Capture the magic of moonlit garden. Dappled light on pathways. Trees as dark masses against sky. Guests appearing in natural night context. Stars visible. Avoid any 'lit' appearance - should feel like luminous night.
Best For
Spa gardens with mature trees, woodland sites, naturalistic landscapes.
