HALLOWEEN LIGHTING TIPS - FLOOD LIGHTS
Illuminating your Halloween haunt for maximum effect does take some planning, but the rewards will be worth it. This often over looked ingredient can greatly add to the feel and impact of your Halloween haunt.

Outdoor colored flood lights are great for illuminating an area or prop with just the right light. We always try to use the lights in a way that the light is not focused directly on any area, but is indirectly lighting a section. The flood light fixture should always be hidden from view when ever possible. Place them behind things such as tombstones or other props. These typically run 100 watts each, so make sure you don't overload your circuit breakers!

Lights Blue light is our color of choice for anything ghostly such as graveyards and haunted houses.
  • Point a blue flood light into the fog from your fog machine.
  • Illuminate your graveyard scene to give it an unearthly glow.
  • Use to light props in your haunted house.
Lighting Green lighting produces what we call the "X-Files" look. It can be used for many themes including:
  • Alien sci-fi type scenes
  • Swamp and marsh scenes
  • Mad scientist laboratory
Hallow Red lighting can add an eerie effect with much imact!  We like to use red lighting to illuminate our:
  • Vampire themes
