So you want a dappled pattern of light and shadow but are just too impatient to let nature take its course? Well, I'm right there with you! Just like having dessert served before the main course, I want the good stuff right now. There are some products out there that project patterns of light, which create the illusion of moonlight moving through branches. Beachside Lighting has an MR16 projector that can cast shadow patterns, or just about anything you want to project. They are currently testing it out with the new Soraa LED MR16 that is rated for enclosed exterior fixtures. B-K Lighting is producing an integrated LED projector that is a part of its Denali Series. These fixtures can be mounted below the eaves of the house, gazebo or other outdoor structures. They can also be installed near the base of building façades or retaining walls to enliven those surfaces at night with shadows. Immediate gratification is so satisfying.
