Austin Winters Are Mild, But Not Risk-Free
Compared to much of the country, Austin winters are mild — but the occasional hard freeze, ice storm, or winter storm event can still affect an outdoor lighting system if it wasn’t built with the right materials and installation standards.
Why Fixture Material Matters in a Freeze
Cheaper metals and plastics can become brittle and crack in sudden temperature drops. Solid brass fixtures handle Austin’s occasional freezes far better, resisting the kind of cracking and warping that lower-quality materials experience during a cold snap.
Protecting Wiring and Connections
Properly sealed, waterproof connections matter even more when freezing and thawing cycles happen in quick succession, as they often do during a Central Texas winter storm. Our installation standards are designed to handle these swings without water intrusion or connection failure.
A System That Performs Every Season
The same qualities that make a landscape lighting system handle Austin’s blazing summers — quality materials, careful installation, sealed connections — are exactly what allow it to shrug off the occasional winter freeze without missing a beat.
