Why this is a good investment to make
Trees are some of the most unique organisms on the planet. They are found in almost all parts of the world. They produce oxygen that is vital for all other life forms. Some are immensely tall, while others have root systems that go deeper into the ground than their branches climb into the sky.

Tree lighting allows these magnificent pillars of nature to be seen 24 hours per day. A property with illuminated trees appears to have greater depth and dimension. Not only can people better see your trees, but they can also get a better view of your pool, outdoor kitchen, French garden, and custom fountain.

The light that comes down from an illuminated tree falls upon the ground in a circle that looks like a pool of artificial moonlight. Both the color and intensity of this special light are the direct result of a certain type of technology we use to create this effect. Other types of light fixtures will not produce the same effect, and some may harm the trees. It is important to use the right fixture for this task in order to get the maximum benefit out of your investment and to protect the health of your trees.

Technology used
Tree lighting is done with a special kind of fixture known as a mercury vapor lamp. This luminaire is very unique in terms of the color of light it produces. Unlike most fixtures, which produce a white light, the mercury vapor lamp produces a blue-green light that is more complimentary to the color of leaves and bark.

While you can go out and buy a mercury vapor lamp yourself in a hardware store, we strongly recommend against doing this. Retail versions of this fixture type are not as viable as commercial grade equivalents. In order to get the best value for your investment, you need to source your luminaire through a lighting design firm that can obtain premium equipment at dealer prices direct from the manufacturer.

The best lighting specialists in Houston are brought in on the job.
Exterior Worlds happens to be in relationship with one of the oldest and most prestigious outdoor lighting design firms in Houston. One of their main areas of expertise is the installation of tree lighting mercury vapor fixtures. We always subcontract this company to handle the installation of tree lights because installing these fixtures is not as easy as one would assume. There is more involved to placing them than simply running a wire up the trunk of the tree and attaching the light to a branch.

Tree protection guaranteed
The safety of the tree has to be taken into account first. It is a bad idea to use a ladder because ladders can permanently scar trees. Our partner company actually has employees trained in tree climbing. These workers know how to get anywhere in a tree without harming it to install the fixture in a concealed location that will allow you to enjoy the light it produces, but not see the equipment itself. These lighting design experts also make sure that the wires to these lights are similarly concealed and properly grounded to avoid shock hazards in your yard.

The illumination that results contributes decorative value to the landscape, and it helps better illuminate garden pathways, seating areas, custom patios, and arbors that may have been constructed beneath the overhanging branches of the trees. You will better enjoy spending time outside at night, and your neighbors and friends will find your home more unique and appealing as an entertainment destination when you invest in tree lighting by Exterior Worlds.
