I have a 100 year old live oak. I would like to make this the focus for my office. Is low voltage an option? What is best to use?

LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING produces a very nice warm light source and is very easy to install.  Mounting several MR16 up lights around the base of the tree is a great way to illuminate the trunks and canopy of the tree.  You might want to upgrade from 20 watt lamps to 35 watt lamps if the tree is really big. 

MERCURY VAPOR LIGHTING on the other hand produces a blue green color that is much more dramatic than the low voltage option. This type of lighting is line voltage and would require an electrician to install. These lights can be installed in the shrubs or mounted in the tree if necessary.

Thanks for asking the question.  I hope that you enjoyed visiting Residential landscape lighting & Design.  We look forward to assiting you.
