I have a medium/large silver birch tree approx 10 metres tall, which i would like to illuminate each spring in order to deter possums that eat all the new leaf shoots (I am worried the tree will die). As a bonus, the white bark will reflect nicely and if the leaves get a chance to grow, the tree will look great. It is difficult to determine how far the throw is for your solar garden lights or how powerful a light I would need for this task - with the light bright enough to make the possum uneasy. It would need to run for most or all of the night - which is up to 12 hours at this time of year. I don't think a colour-changing one would be ideal - but I am open to this if you have any experience. Would any of your solar lights be suitable for this? If so, which ones?
Thank you for your enquiry about the solar lights for trees.
In general, for the tall trees, we suggest some spotlights, as they may not be as powerful as some floodlights, however, they deliver more focused light that is able to reach the tree.
These some models are particularly great as they allow to highlight the tree from a few angles that feature the tree more evenly rather than from one light source

They are weatherproof – full outdoor exposure – IP65; however, they are not waterproof in terms of going completely under the water.
Alternatively, you may have a look at our flood lights:

This model is 2000lm, two other powerful models would be brighter and maybe even better for the taller tree
this is something different, you can select one particular colour or let it run in auto colour change
We are not sure if the lights would be efficient in deterring possums, however, we also have some solar-powered animal repellers to scare away pests, animals, birds etc: https://sunnybunny.com.au/solar-animal-repellers/
