Julie,

It doesn't matter.

A bullet can be used with a 35 or 50 watt light. Make sure you've got them in the right spot and adjust the wattage and spread of the bulb after installation. A hemlock will suck up more light than a kousa.

I have noticed that uplighting works much better on trees with a more open branch pattern (such as a high branched kousa) where an evergreen tends to suck up light and would be best hit from the front.

Don't be afraid to get your hands on a demo kit and give it a shot. Again, just to get an idea of where to put the lights, don't sweat the details until you install the job.
