still think stage flood would be the best ,have you ever seen a LED stage can they are well bright would do the job to perfection and being able to colour change too just the cost but 50 watt compaired to 400 lot of saving on running costs

You could incorporate the house as well, and do it 'American style':

Good effort but I feel it's missing a certain je ne sais quoi..... Maybe a dancing Santa.

All very well and good, but very few of them are IP rated. You can buy Metal Halide units called Panoramas or City Colours which have a revolving lens with different colours. We lit bowood house once for a KT Tunstall concert with this method, even got a mention from her

Hi Murdoch,
If you've not done it before, might be worth experimenting on one or two trees to get an idea of what works. I occasionally put out some 50W GU10 garden spots on stakes for uplighting trees.
By the way, why not a 500W flood? If it's running cost, it depends how often they're going to be used. You'll need that sort of light level to reach up into big trees.

You also get "MiniCity" by the same people that make the city colour - similar idea but with a 150W lamp. That said even they're starting to be replaced by some big led products - things like CitySkape Xtreme will do huge buildings and would have no problem with some big trees even though they're LED .. don't come cheap though.

we recently priced a well known maker of lamps for a 50w LED flood decided to go for 2X42w flourys as £1000 a piece was a bit OTT for our client
Some of the LED lights can give nice effect but not brightness

Yep, there's a couple outside the local carvery/all you can eat buffet that are tri-colour leds and just fade through the colours. Very good output, but probably very expensive. That said, what you pay for it may save you money in the long run on the consumption...
