Mountie Tree Mount
*NEW*: COMING FOR 2026
The Mountie is a reliable, professional-grade tree-mount bracket engineered to create a natural downlighting effect from trees—adding depth, texture, and ambiance to your outdoor space. Its single-point, tree-friendly design allows for healthy long-term growth without harming the tree, while installation takes only minutes with a standard drill and nut driver bit. Available in durable bronze or black powder-coat finishes, the Mountie blends effortlessly with the trunk for a clean, discreet appearance.
Constructed from solid stainless steel, the Mountie measures 7.25 inches in total length and features a 3.5-inch stand-off bolt that provides space for years of growth. The ½-inch NPT threaded female fitting is compatible with most landscape lighting fixtures, and the internal 5/16-inch hex head ensures quick, secure mounting. A pass-through slot makes wiring straightforward, allowing you to easily attach prewired fixtures. Designed for long-term performance, the Mountie requires virtually no maintenance and will last the lifetime of your lighting installation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I install the system myself?
Yes. 12V systems are designed for safe DIY installation. You’ll need a transformer, outdoor-rated wire, and fixtures. Simply connect, bury the wire just below the surface, and test. For larger systems, consulting a professional ensures perfect layout and voltage balance.
Do I need a transformer?
Yes. A low voltage transformer is essential to convert 120V household power to 12V. It also provides voltage regulation, timer control, and safety protection. Using a Striker Commercial Grade Transformer ensures stable power delivery and helps maintain consistent brightness across all fixtures.
How does voltage drop affect my lighting?
Voltage drop occurs when current travels through long wire runs, reducing light output at the end of the line. To prevent it, use thicker wire (12- or 10-gauge), keep wire runs balanced, and select a transformer with multiple voltage taps (12V–15V). Proper planning ensures even illumination across your landscape. Try our our Voltage Drop Calculator!
Are low voltage lights waterproof?
High-quality landscape fixtures are weather-sealed and rated for outdoor conditions—typically IP65 or higher. This means they can withstand rain, snow, and irrigation spray. Always ensure all connections are watertight and above grade to maintain long-term reliability.
How long do LED landscape lights last?
LEDs typically last 30,000 to 50,000 hours—that’s years of operation with minimal maintenance. They also maintain consistent colour temperature and brightness over time, unlike halogen lamps that dim or burn out frequently.
What wire gauge should I use?
For most systems, 12/2 landscape cable works best. Thicker wire reduces voltage drop and ensures consistent brightness across long runs. The proper gauge depends on fixture wattage, total distance, and transformer capacity.
