YESSS Thank you. A little more light but not harsh. I like that.

Question - when you say "coming off the wall" do you mean mounted to the wall, or light shining on the wall?

ps I apologize for the poor photo quality - I've got to learn how to take these kind of photos.

Here a few from last night:


These are trying to show uplights placed up in the canopy of two camphors. I like this effect.






This is the whole shot. The lower "plant" lights are only 4W LED's but they were the lowest I could get at Lowes at the time.




This shot shows some LED "well" lights I was trying - they are buried in the lawn. They don't do much for that carrot-wood tree, and they violate the "don't let the source of the light be visible" so I am planning to take them out.



For the carrot-wood I had previously tried:
- lights in the canopy, but the foliage was too dense
- a regular tree-trunk up light, but it wasn't very dramatic and I chose too hot of a LED.
