Beautiful designs that preserve our night skies
At Dripping Springs Christmas Lights, we know how important it is to protect the natural beauty of our community — including the view of the stars. Dripping Springs is proud to be the first International Dark Sky Community in Texas, and we’re just as proud to offer lighting options that can align with those values.
Whether you're decorating for the holidays, planning an event, or installing permanent lighting, we offer dark sky-conscious options by request that let you enjoy professional lighting without compromising the night sky.
What “Dark Sky-Friendly” Means for Outdoor Lighting
What “Dark Sky-Friendly” Means for Outdoor Lighting
Being based here, we’re fully aware of the city’s lighting ordinances and the broader values behind them. That’s why every lighting plan we create — from seasonal holiday displays to year-round landscape lighting — is designed with care and intention.
Here’s what a Dark Sky-Friendly design looks like in practice:
Downward-Facing Fixtures
Our Christmas lights can be pointed downward or outward, meaning the light is directed toward your home — not into the sky or your neighbor’s windows.Shielded and Low-Glare Designs
We offer options for shielded lights and lower brightness levels, especially for permanent lighting and low-voltage tree wraps. The result: a warm, inviting glow without excessive spill.Warm Color Temperatures
For year-round lighting, we can stick to under-3000K tones that reduce blue light, minimize disruption to wildlife, and keep your property in compliance with dark sky standards.Timers and Smart Controls
We provide automation options like timers and dimmers to ensure lights are only on when needed — cutting down on energy use and light pollution alike. All of our Christmas light packages include necessary timers.
Permanent Roofline Lighting That Respects the Sky
Permanent Roofline Lighting That Respects the Sky
Our RGBW roofline lighting offers full color control via app and looks like classic Christmas lights — with the bonus of year-round use upon request. For homeowners looking to stay dark sky-friendly, we can install them facing downward. Many find this not only more compliant, but also more flattering to their home’s architecture, creating a soft, even wash of light.
🌳 Landscape Lighting
🌳 Landscape Lighting
During our off-peak months outside the holiday season, we offer low-voltage landscape lighting designed for beauty, safety, and minimal glare. Fixtures can be shielded and directed to keep light low and focused where it’s needed.
💍 Event Lighting
Planning a wedding, party, or community gathering? Our event lighting services offer temporary, tasteful setups that can be configured to respect dark sky principles — especially important for outdoor events in Dripping Springs.
