Commercial Tree Lighting Designs

You can improve any landscape with tree lighting provided the property has trees sufficiently large enough to conceal mercury vapor lights in the branches and leaves. As a commercial landscape lighting contractor who is quite possibly competing against much larger firms, you can give yourself an enormous competitive advantage by offering this simple, elegant lighting technique.

Specification grade mercury vapor lights that feature superior commercial grade engineering and photometrics are the best fixtures to use as tree lights. They radiate a blue-white luminance that looks almost identical to moonlight. When concealed from the observer’s frame of reference, and if installed in an environmentally sensitive manner that avoids harming the trees, lights of this nature can add both aesthetic and functional lighting elements to a host of institutions and businesses.

Municipal Parks
If you are bidding for a contract that involves park lighting and landscaping a municipal park, you definitely want to propose tree lights. Contractors who can arguably demonstrate that this aspect of park lighting will make the park both safer and more popular have a very strong chance of closing the deal regardless of price.

Because people want to feel safe when they visit the park at night, lighting up the shadows under the trees allows less opportunity for criminal mischief. It also “multiplies” moonlight exponentially according to the number of trees you light. Most benches and pathways lie either adjacent to or directly under large trees. Moonlight walks in these places will not have to depend on weather conditions or the phase of the moon at a given time of the month because outdoor commercial tree lighting provides the same romantic and sentimental qualities on a continuing, unchanging basis.

Academic Institutions
Helping a school attract higher enrollment is an excellent way to win their business, especially if they are a relatively young institution, or a community college.

Lighting up the larger trees on the landscape makes the school look more “Old World”, and it plays upon the perception many people have that the best schools are the oldest schools. When the oldest and largest trees are fitted with mercury vapor lights, the entirety of their form is illuminated throughout the night and appears surreal, larger than life, and classical in form.

Commercial Properties
If your forte is commercial lighting design, offer to make a business appear more reputable and conscientious by installing tree lights.

If you are proposing a lighting fixture system for a new company, tell them the same thing you would tell a learning institution: people associate time in business with experience and skill. . New companies can greatly benefit from looking “older” than they really are. Tree lights will also improve outdoor security lighting by eliminating shadows under the trees where vandals and burglars may otherwise try to hide.

You can also propose to make your client appear environmentally friendly for the sake of public image. Illuminating landscaping and trees around the building helps harmonize buildings with the landscape and suggests a certain sympathetic relationship with Nature that works very well for branding and marketing purposes in a grown Earth conscious marketplace.

Hospitality Services
Helping high-end facilities attract and entertain more guests represents a sizeable amount of money for any client working in hospitality services. For something as relatively low cost as tree lighting, the return on investment is something that you can depend on to make a strong, good impression on the client.

Because these industries must attract present people with the allure of a more refined, sensible, and better reality, showcasing the natural beauty of trees unconsciously suggests an excursion into Paradise. Palm trees at resorts will glow with a luminous aura throughout the night, and tree lights concealed in branches overhanging outdoor patios add romantic accent lighting for outdoor dining and live music. Any country club with large trees adjacent to the clubhouse window will have better visibility into the exterior, because the down light coming from branches overhead filters through the glass just enough to dispel the reflective glare of interior restaurant lighting.
