Not all landscape lighting fixtures are created equal, and the material a fixture is made from has a huge impact on how long it lasts and how good it looks over time. Here is how the three most common options compare.
Solid Brass: Built to Last
Solid brass fixtures are the gold standard in professional landscape lighting. They resist corrosion, develop an attractive natural patina over time, and routinely last twenty years or more with minimal maintenance.
Copper: Beautiful Aging, Premium Price
Copper fixtures share many of brass’s durability benefits and develop a distinctive greenish patina over the years that many homeowners love, though they typically come at a higher price point.
Aluminum: The Budget Trade-Off
Aluminum fixtures are the most common option at big box stores because they are inexpensive, but they corrode, pit, and fade far faster than brass or copper, often needing replacement within just a few years.
Why We Only Install Solid Brass
