I <a href="http://www.gmail.com">have</a> a 100'deep X 70'wide backyard There is a 70'tall oaktree on one side about halfway down the yard can i use this tree to create a moonlight type of glow throughout my whole backyard or do I need to find mutiple locations to even out the light in the yard. I don't want it bright rather a nice even moonlight type of glow throuhout the back yard. Also how high up the tree should I install the lights? Please recommend the product or products I should use. Thank You

I <a href="http://www.gmail.com">would</a> install two 175-WATT MERCURY VAPOR DOWN LIGHTS as high as you are willing to climb up in the tree.  Shine one light in each direction to softly filter the light through the limbs creating the moonlighting on the ground that you have described.  Of course, the light will be brighter on the side of the yard with the tree due to distance.  So, if you have some other trees you can install a couple 50-WATT MERCURY VAPOR R20 UP LIGHTS or a couple 50-WATT MERCURY VAPOR R20 DOWN LIGHTS for balance and beauty.
