The BEST description on lighting for the season, thank you! 🧟
🙌🏻☺️
Thank you so much man. As a first timer, I definitely don’t know where to start. This video helped me out a lot. I appreciate all of your work!
Looks amazing, thank you so much for sharing, will check the links now as well!
I don’t usually comment but I have to give you the respect, I bought most of the lights and sockets from your video, and they did not disappoint. Incredible quality and ease. Just want to say thanks for the video and suggestions!
Thank you so much for commenting Tim! I’m glad it was helpful and that you bought some of the items
Thank for for this video, it was incredibly helpful!
This was so incredibly helpful! I have been wanting to add color to our home for Halloween and didn't know where to start! Thank you for explaining and linking everything!
Great video, so creative. I really appreciate your showing the power cords, adapters, and timers - and how/where you placed each of them. That really helped me figure the layout without getting a tangled mess.
Uplighting the trees in the backyard looks so good. Doing this in white would look great during Christmas. If you ever watched the NBC show “Grimm”, their night time exterior shots were incredible with layered lighting.
I love that idea
This is great! Very specific, clear and helpful. Thank you so so much for even including links, descriptions, photos of components. It also helps to know why you chose each light. I really appreciate your sharing. ❤️😊
Thank you so much for your comment. I try to make it as easy for everyone as i possibly can. I don’t really do well with complicated or difficult things so I try to break it down into easy segments lol
Thanks so much... This is my first year doing a real yard haunt and your channel has been super helpful!
Thank you! I hope your haunt turns out good
great video! Thanks for the video and links! You're awesomez! Love your Halloween deco!
This is amazing. Well done.
Thank you so much ! 🤩
This is so very helpful!!! Thank you for your thorough explanations for everything! 🖤
You’re very welcome !
I've always loved uplifting trees. As you said, it creates a nice backdrop. It also adds heught, drama and scale depending on the project. For my haunts, the treeline to the left of my haunts will be uplit. This won't add height or scale to my haunts but it will add drama and 'widen' the area which enhances perceived value to my customers.
This is the perfect video for me, thank you so much! I really want to up my Halloween lighting this year!
I learned - and attempted to duplicate - so much from this lighting video! 👍
Thanks, Isaac! You deserve sponsorships!
Thank you so much I appreciate that! Glad I could help
The lighting is fantastic and really makes things look amazing!
Lighting is everything! Makes a scene so much better
Another great video!!!
Love how your display looks!! Thanks for sharing 👻
Thank you so much Laura !
Insane!! Lighting the way to a brighter Halloween DIY. 😏🖤
Duke energy about to be calling me
Those are really nice lights , that really brings everything to life.. I never even knew they had all these types of lights its great ~
Thank you Joe! Ya learned something new today
Great advice!!!
Thank you so much. Lighting is critical for making a good display a great one. I appreciate you taking the time to detail the products you used, and your reasoning behind your plan, that's a huge help.
A few thoughts-I have that exact timer and I love it. I've used it for Halloween and Christmas for going on 10 years and no trouble. The covers for the outlets make it safer. I'm going to buy your 4 outlet extender for sure. We have a lot of 25' cords with three outlets in a wedge (we call them 3fers) but yours are better so things aren't as crowded.
I'll suggest two other options. One is like your extender. It only has three outlets but the cords are 6+' long. They're useful when the lighting is too far apart for the regular splitter. WalMart has them and so does Amazon.
Lastly, there's an extension cord that has outlets spaced apart along its length about 8' apart. I find it greatly simplifies the number of cords, especially with lights/airblowns in a line. That may work on your roof next year. The Amazon links were insanely long so here's a link to a storefront just so you can see what I'm talking about if you're interested. They have both.
www.amazon.com/stores/EversimpleInc/page/7D2E46B8-A9A0-4DB9-8E44-A3B48867A3DB?ref_=ast_bln
You've given me so much help and good ideas I thought I'd give a little back to you if I can.
I appreciate all these tips you gave me
Incredible!
Thank you so much !
💚💜🧡 Thank you so very much for the great advice and light show. It is so fun to see some one else as passionate about Halloween as me! 💚💜🧡
💚💜🧡Happy Halloween💚💜🧡
Thank you so much Nancy, it’s always great to find other Halloween passionate people such as yourself. Happy Halloween
Recently came upon the channel and it’s amazing! The time you take to make the items,video edit and teach about the tools used and not to mention the money it takes to make it all this happen. Thanks ! 🍂🍁💕
Thank you so much for this kind comment. It’s a lot of work but I love doing it
Thank you for sharing have a wonderful weekend 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Thank you so much Theresa!
Dude, u are too much. Love it. I struggle with lighting. I will look into doing this. I’m on a budget and I bet those LED lights are pricy
Thank you so much. Some of the LEDs I used are expensive but it’s simply a guide and you don’t have to actually use the ones I link. There’s less expensive brands available on Amazon, But good lighting is key to a gray display
i think this is my favorite video out of all of them lol i loooooove hall🎃ween
The lighting and electrical video is your favorite?
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY i saw all of ur decorations they are awesome 😱😱😱😱😱
Another great one! Keep it lit 🔥up! lol
🙌🏻😊
How did you do the flame effect in the skeletons? I love that! Your house and yard look amazing!
Thank you so much for including the product links in the video. It's such a time saver. I ordered some black lights to try the toxic barrels this year and was wondering what type of paint you used?
Sorry for my late reply! I used green fluorescent spray paint . Gloss Green Fluorescent Spray Paint (NET WT. 11-oz) www.lowes.com/pd/Krylon-Gloss-Green-Fluorescent-Spray-Paint-Actual-Net-Contents-11-oz/1000951616
Fantastic. Thanks for the crucial tips, although the mushrooms don’t remind me of Halloween and would look much better in an Easter display in your front yard along with some oversized vegetables, flowers and Easter bunnies. I’m going to have to try that before the grand babies get to be two or three. Thanks again 👍
No problem I’m glad you liked it 😃
Hi beautiful man and thank you l was wondering the other day how you did your lighting. Thank you for all your great information. Your a lovely young man and l wish you and your family nothing but the best thank you so so much. Love and blessings from Australia
Thank you so much for your kindness and love from Australia!
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY your more than welcome looking forward to more of your content and l will share your channel over here thank you for all you do for us to see
Been waiting for this ! Awesome job as always 👏
Thank you so much Virginia
Awesome. Great looking house. Great looking set up!!!
How hot do those 100w black lights get???
Thank you! They don’t get hot, just warm. They’re LED so it doesn’t get too warm
Good job Issac! Do you say how much all this lighting would cost?
Love them..👏🏼💪🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👑😈
🙌🏻
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY ❤️❤️👑
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY 🙏🏼🙏🏼👑😈
Nice setup!!!! Hey were you get those pumpkins on the roof??
Thank You Christopher. They’re from Home Depot, they’re called grimacing pumpkins. Have been sold out for quite some time
Was curious how you added the flame LED Iights to pumpkins on roof? Did you cut an access into bottom and then cut smaller hole in back of pumpkin for socket?
The yard looks amazing. I will be doing more lighting after this video. Are you by chance in the Charlotte area? I'm in Concord and have a decent haunt myself. (Yours is better lol) would love some ideas from you.
Hey there, yes I’m just outside Charlotte. If you ever want to see my haunt, just message me on Facebook for the address. Search “Isaac Alexander DIY”
Tfs great info. Are the black lights safe in the rain? The bats are awesome! I should say your home is amazing? You do a great job on explaining everything:) tfs God Bless:)
Yes just get waterproof black lights, there’s so many of them on Amazon
I'm huge on lighting, it makes such a difference. Would love to know which candle lights you're using in the pumpkins. I didn't see a link. Thanks for sharing!

Do the christmas 2022 diy
Awesome setup and explanation however I came to see where your cords are plugged into. How many power outlets from your house are you using? Is this just one gigantic daisy chain going on?
It’s not really a daisy chain. I had 7 outlets installed in my front yard. Originally there was only 1. So now I have 8 outlets strategically placed at various points in the front yard
Can you elaborate how you mount your Mini Pendant Sockets with the LED Flame Effect Bulbs? I purchased the pair but cannot figure out the best way to mount them inside the pumpkins.
Would like to know also
The display outside is for the world to see. So do you go crazy decorating the inside for just you also?
I do a more fall themed inside decor.
Wow you did such an amazing job!
Thank you so much Janet!
Isaac Where did you get the purple and orange string lights? I did not see a link to them.
That it was I came here to find out as well. Such a great display! Thank you for the video, Isaac!
How often do you have to change batteries in all those lawn pumpkins?
Normally about half of them need a battery change at week 3 while the others last all through Nov 1
Wow -- amazing work! Well done!
Thank you so much !
That looks so awesome! 👏🏿
Thanks Scott!
Have you ever had an issue with rain getting on all the plug endings?
No but I have had issues in December with my Christmas lights. Every year there’s a few days in December where my display won’t turn on cause water got into the plug of something. Just gotta wait for it to dry the following day.
I LOVE the pumpkins on the roof! I hope I can fasten them somehow.... any ideas would be much appreciated!!!!
Hi Jessica, I talk about how I attached the pumpkins to the roof in my big reveal video that I linked in the description and within the video if you want to check it out
Great and informative video. I was wondering if anyone has a solution to a lighting challenge I have. I live on a corner lot and the street light is at corner of lot so the street light washes out any lighting I have tried.
What kind of lighting do you want and what type of props? Isaac is the expert, clearly, but I'll help if I can. For spot lighting, nothing beats the old glass hot as blazes spots for brightness over a distance so they should hold up under a street light.
@@dianeladico1769 Thanks so much for your willingness to help. For props I have a large spider like Isaac did his tutorial on, I am making a 12 foot scarecrow that has led mini lights inside his chest, and I have a graveyard area. I did a test of scarecrow last night and the 400 led mini lights show up but since street light is on that side I am disappointed that it is not as bright as it would be if yard did not have street light. Wondered if I put a spot on it would it help or not? I tried using some LED floor lights last year if I tried using a color to highlight the colors do not show up…only could use white.
@@deborahmckerall6912 That sounds so cool. I'm jealous. I'm guessing the spider is dark? So depending what he's up against you may want to add contrast. So maybe a spider web behind/under him? You could either add lights behind it or not and then shine a light on the spider. That way he'll show up more. Trenton Mills is running behind on their beef netting but you can easily use cheesecloth (cheaper than creepy cloth). Or, depending on the look you want, you could use a cheap sheer panel and cut holes in it to look like the beef netting webs. IKEA has super cheap ones or WalMart or a thrift store. Tulle is also an option. Garden bug netting or frost blanket works too. Stake it to the ground under him and then up behind him. Zip tie it to a couple of garden fence posts and cut the holes. Extra credit if you can put his back legs up like he's crawling down the web, if that appeals to you.
Scarecrow: Is there material in front of the lights? My concern with mini LEDs is unless you're looking straight at them, they're either dim or like they're not there. You know how when you buy them and they're all facing the same direction they'll burn your retinas but once you hang them not so much? So you may want to reorient them to all face forward. Or add something reflective behind the lights, if your design allows for that. I put foil under the green lights in my cauldron and it helped. Last resort I'd hate to say buy more lights but if you're OK with the heat, regular incandescent bulbs are good from almost any angle. Or, I got LEDS that are in a plastic bulb that looks like the old C9s. Super bright. You'd need to put them in something to make it orange, or put orange gauze over the chest. Amazon sells tinted film or cellophane basket wrap if the lights are cool enough. Again, not seeing what you have I'm guessing.
At that height I think you'd want a spot on him to show him off. Maybe two, aimed high and low to get all of him. The ones I use are the 120V with the heavy outdoor cord. The bulbs are 90W glass for garage fixtures. They're warm white. All the LEDs I have are kind of lame but Isaac has better ones so maybe those will do. OOh, maybe one shining on his face and the other closer to his feet and almost straight up to give the creepy shadow effect and not take away from the lights in his chest.
Or, those fixtures Isaac has for the roof pumpkins and the flame bulbs in his chest. The flickering would be cool if it was bright enough. Again, something reflective behind would help if you could make it not terribly obvious.
For my graveyard I've done a couple of things. Randomly placed cheap solar stakes. One on either side of a larger headstone looks like an eternal flame deal. The cheap ones are usually cool white which helps. Also the less expensive LED spots but put them low at a glancing angle and not straight on but at the edge of a row of headstones and aimed to hit them from about 15 degrees, if that makes sense. I also did those push lights on the ground but that was a pain. Since LED emergency lights are so cheap that's an option but again, a pain to fuss with. They also have those Christmas light stakes for outside that can be spread out and even put in at an angle to light the head stones (dang it, now I have to try that...). If your headstones are in rows you can put the stakes behind them to light the next row and hide them a bit.
I hope this helps. Any questions just ask. I hope Isaac doesn't mind me hijacking his comment section.
Happy Halloween!
@@dianeladico1769 Thanks so much for all your suggestions. I already have my beef netting…I ordered early. I will try out the things you suggested,
@@deborahmckerall6912 I hope I was able to help. I got my beef netting yesterday-so excited. Your neighbors are going to be thrilled.
Amazing job!!!
Thank you so much Carlos !

I'm such a sucker for lighting! One of my favorite places is Camp Snoopy, at Knott's Berry Farm, during Christmas time. The lighting is just amazing! Your lighting reminds me of it .. again, so professional.
I'd love to hire you to come over and help me deocrate/light the outside of my house at Christmas.

Where is a link to the candles used in the jack o lanterns?
Which ones? The ones on the roof or the ones on the lawn?
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Sorry the ones on the lawn.

Amazing
😃
Can you do a projector animation for Halloween tutorial
This is amazing! What a great job! Where you live? Do you ever worry about rain? That’s the issue I have with my props and Halloween decorations 😢
It rains often here in North Carolina, things get wet but they don’t get ruined so I never worry about the rain
Hi Isaac, new sub. Good explainer on the electronics and cord your layout/accessories.
Protip: Don't include a sixty second intro to a video explaining what you're not going to show me. The "How-To-Light" is the focus for the video so stick to that. I don't need to know what your "not focus" is, if that makes sense. It's super simple just to say "By the way, if you want to see how all of these props were built and want to see a full walk-through, click on this link here (point) or that one there (point)" Anyway, just a format suggestion for you.
I really like to see what other people are doing in their displays how they solve certain problems, especially cable management. So this was very useful!
I always find it so interesting when people give you a backhanded compliment. Where I’m from, we just call it being rude lol. 🤠
It’s not really a “pro tip” when you’re not a pro. You don’t have an active RUclips channel, you have 3 subscribers, and you don’t do tutorials. I have built *my* channel (emphasis on “my”) based on filming/editing my tutorials the way I see fit. There is a skip button for a reason and you can very well skip the intro to ANY video on RUclips - I know, shocking, right?
I think you may have bigger problems going on in your life if your biggest complaint about a FREE tutorial/how-to video is that… the intro… was…. (Checks notes) one. minute. long.
Here’s a pro tip; Don’t tell someone what to do with their channel - especially when they never asked for your opinion and (more importantly) they’re clearly doing something right (numbers and views don’t lie).
So no, I will not shorten my intros.
Happy Halloween, dude 😃
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY hey Isaac. Your response to this guy was perfect. You are killing it but that’s my not so pro tip 😂
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘✝️💌👣🙏💯🗞️ Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. Thank you Father for answered prayers. Thank you for deliverance from the double minded. Amen all over the earth and the heavens. In Jesus name amen 🙏 Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your lord and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
