Moonlighting is a high, soft light that looks like natural moonlight.
How it works
A fixture is placed high in a mature tree and aimed down. The light filters through the leaves and branches and casts moving shadows on the lawn and path.
What you need
A tree with a good canopy and a way to run cable up the trunk out of sight. The effect is soft by design.
