My brother runs the "Northern Lights" landscape lighting business I advertise on this site.

He installs mostly line voltage lighting with large ballast boxes for up and down lighting (with metal hallide fixtures I think). But he does have some call for low voltage lighting.

He gave me one of those powerful Metal Hallide lights a couple of years ago to play with to see if I wanted to light my place up. I ran a couple hundred feet of extension cord and uplite a big silver elm on my property, it did look pretty impressive. Fortunately there are no other homes around me so it did not bother anyone.

I put it away and the light still sits in my basement. Just to lazy to trench in the wire all over the place.

Back to lights on at night I think some of the animals must actually adapt, that's why deer eat at the side of the road at night as they can see the grass better, raccoons eat your garbage right under your garage light, nature is just forcing them to adapt over time ;>)
