Well
The bulb hides inside a waterproof
housing buried in the ground, so
you get light without seeing a
fixture. Use well lights to illuminate
the underside of plant foliage
or graze the base of a facade or
wall. Available with either fixed or
swiveling bulbs.

Downlight
These fixtures, often located high on trunks and branches, can be aimed at
lawns, paths, or the tree's own foliage to create a moonlit effect. A long, cowl-
shaped shroud around the bulb eliminates side glare. Choose durable copper
and brass housings with LEDs—you don't want to be climbing to make repairs or
replacements.
