Thanks for all the replies. I have put in low voltage lights
also, and normally that would be my choice, but these trees she wants lighted ( at least one ) is around 200 ft. tall. I know I want be able to light it all, but she wants lights at the bottom and then lights up in the tree then lights on one of it's limbs to shine on another tree. The first branch is around 25 to 30 ft. up. Low voltage lighting that high to me is going to produce problems in the future
(bulb changing, connections etc. ) I mentioned the difference from the HPS and MH to her. She has several large trees in her front yard. I told her to take a
"online" look at "The White House" at night, and that will give her some idea of what HPS will look like. The MH spots on some of the trees may be too blinding in my opinion on this job, because especially one will be pointed in the direction of cars coming into her driveway. But anyway, I'm just giving her the options. If it were normal trees and shrubbery, yes I would go with low voltage, but this is more like a "White House" project and, yes she is wanting the usual,"as cheap as possible". I've sent her a 2 page letter explaining the options she has and explaining the pro's and con's. Thanks for the input..
PS. I don't know about low voltage reaching 50ft. up or not. Is that using over a 50wt. halogen bulb? And if so where do you find a low voltage light that accepts over a 50wt. halogen. I've looked on the web, and couldn't find one. Thanks again... Steve
