I would screw it fast to a piece of treated lumber, the bottom of which, I would put 2' into the ground, and the top extending 6'' above ground, or further, if it must extend above vegetation.

As you can probably see from the site pictures, this light has a sheet metal "handle" bolted to both sides. That is most commonly fastened to a building wall to attach the light and also allow it to pivot at the bolt attachment. You will have to place something sturdy into the ground then secure the light to it with the attached metal strap. Optionally you could place two posts, sandwich the light between them and attach into the bolt holes used to attach the strap (would almost certainly require longer bolts).

Hi Sehei, when I purchased two trees they were sold separately. I would NOT recommend this product if you intend to place it outdoors. This was a gift to a friend and in less than one years time both items were completely unusable. Both trees lights failed in that time and one of the trees metal "trunks" were completely deteriorated.

yes... just needs to be unplugged... I have red on the house and green on the grass. The red lights (I have two illuminators) have to be a distance from the house in order to maximize the lights. So for me I have them by the bottom of a tree by the sidewalk... so they can get stolen. The green lights ( I have two of these also) are up high on the house focused down on the grass. So the greelna tree ones are a bit harder to steal as you would need a ladder. I hope that helps

Instead of bolting the light fixture to the bottom of the planter, it can be set directly into concrete or the ground using spikes which I believe are included, or any anchor-type mechanism you can find at any hardware store. We put ours in the planters, but on dollies, so we can roll them around our deck.

Hello,The tree is very bright. Outside it's perfect but inside it could light up your entire house. I'm not sure about dimming options. I don't think that would've possible. It is a beautiful tree compared to most. Wish I could have helped more.

If your pot is bigger than the spread of the leaves, I would say yes. The spikes are supposed to be inserted into the ground/dirt at the drip line (edge) of the tree.

You will need a ladder. My hedge is about the same and the product works fine, but to cover an area that large you have to be at the same height as the top of the hedge.

Sorry to say I don't recall whether the spikes are sufficient; I have it against a wooden fence, and it's fastened. But I can tell you I was impressed with the quality of the trellis. I think you might be able to get away with using just the spikes. Worst case maybe one screw with anchor at the top.

Probably not if you just plant and leave it. Beware, this is a coastal redwood and requires winter protection. If you want to try something to plant in the ground shoot for dawn redwood. This has a better chance.

The post has two pieces, the one stake to put in ground, but if you take stake off, i'm sure it could be mounted on roof some how. Actually that's a great idea for if you wanted to use these as Christmas lights. I have them around a small palm tree and they are bright and beautiful and stay on for 4-6 hours.

No! This is for bringing them through the flower (and or) the fruiting stage. This of course depends on what you are growing. You need the metal halide for the vegetation stage. A 125 watt or more full spectrum compact fluorescent bulb will do both and be much easier on your electric bill, all you have to do is adjust the the amount of time the lights stay on, this will depend on what you are growing.

Sure just lay it in gutter. It can be overlapped if you want to. I put this up for this season and it works great! I just plug it in just before a storm and leave it on for a week or as long or short as necessary.

Pretty big for that Job. I am lighting a 30 ft tree from 15 ft away. Great light tho.

Depends on how tall the trees are.... I would look for a more powerful light

Yes and no sweetie. You need a wide spectrum fluorescent set up along with some metal halides until the flowering begins. Then you need to add a regular incandescent light bulb, about 100w for every 6 sq. ft. of floor growing space. Lucky you got a hold of me. I'm Jay Essex. You can see me at JayEssex.com. I'm a bit different than other people but I also don't wear overalls for no reason. I used to take a lot of trips to Jamaica and lived in California. Nuff said. You also need to watch your fertilizer when germinating and later towards the flowering. Take care and have fun.

It was a gift for my mom, & she got a base for it at Home Depot I believe. She got a base you would put a big plant or small tree in!
