The term ‘holiday lighting’ evokes imagery of lit-up Christmas trees and icicle lights, but what other holidays call for holiday lighting? Halloween is an often overlooked time of the year to make use of outdoor Halloween lighting services, but can be the most effective form of lighting—just ask Halloween aficionados.
Halloween lighting services to add to the spooky ambiance of your outdoor Halloween decorations:
Strobe Lights
Using strobe lights in your yard can add an eerie effect to your other decorations—and goes extra-eerily well with the sounds of the ‘Thriller’ album. To use strobe lights set them to low setting (to avoid people having seizures on your lawn) and set them to illuminate your scary exhibits. For those who go all-out for the holidays set the strobes on a timer to illuminate your different displays at random times to display them in a sequence.
Black Lighting
Black lighting goes beyond the 70s and Pink Floyd concerts—they look cool on Halloween too. Black lights provide the quintessential lighting effect for Halloween and can be paired nicely with fog machines and other lighting effects like strobe lights.
Lightning Machine
While overkill for some, a lightning machine for Halloween adds just the right touch to your scary showcase. Be sure to time the thunder sound to strike just before the lightning for an uber-realistic effect.
Graveyard Lights
Using individual lights to highlight gravestones is the perfect effect for any spooky Halloween graveyard. In addition to gravestone illuminations you can add a spooky effect with a few (fake) ravens and cleverly-carved jack-O-Lanterns. Use the gravestones lights from above for maximum impact and not from below where you over-expose the stones. For maximum effect consider blue or other colored light bulbs.
Halloween Light CAUTION!
Adventurous lighting is fun around the holidays, but stay safe. Every year emergency rooms see over 12,000 people for lighting-related injuries. This can include cuts, falls, shocks, burns and more, so be careful with all of your lighting stunts. To ensure your safety use only lights that were safety tested by recognized testing laboratories like UL AND ETL. For extra safety only plug outdoor decorative lighting into plugs that work on fuses.
