Moonlighting Effects
Moonlighting places soft fixtures high in trees, so light filters down through the leaves and casts natural shadows on the ground. It is one of the most beautiful effects in outdoor lighting and gives a calm, nighttime glow that feels natural.

Common questions
Does the tree need to be tall?
Moonlighting works best with mature trees that have a good canopy, so the light can filter down through the branches.
Is moonlighting bright?
No. It is soft by design, and we dim it to the level you like.
