Close, anyway. The colder temperatures of the freezer have a tendency to damage bulbs, cracking or even shattering them. The heat generated inside the bulb, coupled with the frozen condensation on the outside of the thin glass, has a tendency to break them.

That is, up until a few years ago when many appliance manufacturers found cheaper ways to put a working light in the freezer. However, that still increases the cost of the unit enough, and consumers haven't decided that the issue is important enough to be worth paying some extra money for.
