Brass vs. Aluminum vs. Copper: Choosing the Right Landscape Lighting Fixture Material
The fixture material you choose for your landscape lighting system affects everything from appearance to lifespan. Majestic Outdoor Lighting has installed solid brass fixtures exclusively since 2009, but it’s worth understanding why brass outperforms the aluminum and copper alternatives you’ll find from other installers.
Aluminum: Common, but Prone to Corrosion
Aluminum fixtures are popular because they’re inexpensive, but they corrode and pit within a few years of exposure to Houston’s heat and humidity. Once corrosion sets in, fixtures discolor, crack, and eventually fail, requiring costly replacement.
Copper: Beautiful Patina, Higher Cost
Copper fixtures develop an attractive natural patina over time and resist corrosion well, but they come at a premium price point and the patina process changes the fixture’s appearance in ways not every homeowner wants.
Solid Brass: Our Material of Choice
Solid brass resists corrosion, holds up to Houston’s climate for decades, and maintains a classic appearance homeowners love. It’s why we’ve installed brass exclusively since 2009 and back every system with our expertise.
