Upwardly directed spotlights emphasise the tree canopy. Floodlights with asymmetric light distribution give homogenous light from base to canopy even on tall and broad rows of trees. Narrow-beamed uplights highlight the tree trunk as a vertical, linear feature .

The effectiveness of rows of trees to delineate space depends to a very large extent on the type of tree. Thus, depending on the type of tree, a closely planted row of trees can appear as a 'wall' or a 'colonnade'. Narrow-beamed and well-aimed luminaires reduce the glare and the spill light into the surroundings. The tree growth must be considered when positioning and aiming the luminaires.
