Advice needed on making fixtures visible to yard workers, but not obtrusive…
I’m lighting several trees and bushes in a large farmhouse yard using small high quality brass spotlights. I suspect they will be easy to miss when the yard workers are mowing the grass. I’ve experimented with drilling out some small ~10 to 12-inch rocks and mounting the fixtures onto them instead of staking them into the ground. This works pretty well. However, even though the rocks are natural material, I’m concerned that they will be too obtrusive. Well lights won’t work because in many cases I need to aim at the tree from a sharp angle from a meter or two away. I’ve seen the small flags on wires that some companies offer, but I’d like to avoid that if possible. I’m interested in any dialogue on this conundrum. I know there’s no right or wrong answer. And inevitably the solution will be whatever the client would want. But I’m curious to hear how anyone else has creatively approached this… balancing safety/visibility with a more stealth/integrated approach.
