    I am trying to illuminate a rock wall that is 30 ft long and 2.5 ft high. I can only place the light about 2 - 2.5 feet from the wall. I am just looking to accent the wall not illuminate the whole wall. What would be the best light(s) to do this?

    Hey Mike,

    Highlighting a short wall like this with balanced illumination would be tough trying to use uplights.

    Are you able to mount fixtures on the wall itself? If so, I'd strongly recommend considering LED Hardscape Lights. These would provide ideal subtle illumination to highlight the wall and also provide downward illumination to highlight any garden beds/plants along the wall.

    Attaching some photos to your post may help with recommendations as well!
