I’m posting this in the “Soft” Section because I want the opinions of you tree people out there. I’m wondering what is the best way to mount a directional light (a spot light fixture) in a tree? I’ve been staying away from down lighting in trees because I’m not sure how to mount the light fixtures properly without damaging the trees.

Lighting people all have their opinions on what works best. I’ve seen metal straps, nylon straps, rubber bands, plastic ties, screws, staples and nails and all of them seem to have draw backs. Most of them end up inside the tree as the tree grows around them, including the wire.

So what do you tree people say?
