    Hi, I'd like to silhouette a few globe boxwood. Behind is a fence. Which well light is best, and what would the spacing be?

    Globes are 15"D now though will grow over time to leave only 1' between it and fence. Should I plan on moving fixtures over time?

    Thanks!

    Hey ingrid,

    It sounds like a compact spotlight fixture would be ideal to uplight the fence behind and give the silhouette effect.

    The VOLT® All-Star Mini Spotlight or our VOLT® Spark Spotlight would be an excellent choice. The All-star would give you the option to increase the wattage as well if needed as the boxwood grew overtime.

    If you were planning on the boxwoods growing to be this large, I'd probably recommend one of our compact floodlights but, from what you described about the proximity to the fence, I don't think you're planning for that?
