- We're back with more Halloween DIY LED lighting setups and lighting for holiday decorations. This is our Halloween yard lighting effects for our outdoor or indoor decorations. Need lights for tombstone and gravestone decorations? Here is a quick run through of the different set ups for our Halloween lighting we use in our yard haunt display at our home during October. We like to use more LED lights than incandescent bulbs for obvious reasons like energy usage and control-ability. We connect hundreds of lights together and tangle them in between and through all our static, pneumatic, and motorized props in the fenced in space to help prevent theft. All the cabling joins together and connects to terminals mounted inside some home made enclosures spread throughout the yard and walk through maze. After we test to make sure they all work we go through and choose which colors we want the RGB to shine on each area and prop, whether it's the pet cemetery, the trees, the side of the mausoleums or each tomb or grave marker. The maze lights were connected to dimmers so we could lower the brightness of the halls so you could just barely see as you walked down each hall in the crypt. Many of our lights were purchased online in bundles and rolls for various jobs and projects. We try to use all the scrap pieces and solder them together to make up most of the lighting for the graveyard and tombstones. Most of the modules we use run off 35 milliAmps and since there's 1000 milliAmps in an Amp and most of our old phone chargers and power supplies that are 1 or more amps allow us to run several lights off each power transformer. after we wire many of our sign modules we place them inside white plastic tubing and tape up the ends with black electrical tape. We have also made many boxes out of wood and lighting gels tinted in many colors. There are definitely fancier ways of doing multi colored LED lighting and spot lighting but this is a easy do it yourself way to wire and weather proof your lighting for the yard haunt. If your interested in how we wire up our lights for our haunt please check out our LED Lighting Part 2 I would love to control everything from a light board or computer in the future but for now this way works pretty well for us. Whatever way you decide to light your haunt lighting is one of the most important necessities for a successful Halloween haunt. It will get the people to stop and your pictures will turn out so much better when the lighting is just perfect. More importantly more scary! Also be sure to check out our wiring LED lighting video to see me solder and heat shrink up the connections to modules and waterproof ribbon lighting.

would be really super nice of you, if you could do a tutorial, from start to finish, on how to start and finish a complete box, that you are showing here...
very kool idea...
I would love to upgrade my lighting but... uh...
Still I should do it! Very helpful vid... I'll be coming back to this one I think.
Another great video. Lighting is a very week part of my building skills. I know it looks very easy but TO MANY SQUIRES RUNNING AROUND IN MY HEAD. I need to work on this type of project. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the explanation of your lighting setup. I love how you made those little boxes to hook everything up so easily so you can easily change the colors.
I would love to update my lighting for my graveyard this year and this looks like the way to go!
Nice...Thank u
Chris, do you have a diagram to show how you wired up the terminal block?
No I dont but I can tell you I used one block for the power or control side and them another block for the red green or blue wires to choose our color. So two blocks total and the power supply was just connected to the ends of each block. Hope that helps.
yes I attached the cut wire one to each terminal block and then designated one block for the positive yellow wire and the other block
for the RGB wires to attach to.
Cool! I was wondering about this.
Your lighting this year is great. I really like that system.
Cool thanks for the tip. I still us all my flood lights for our firefly lighting machine. I would love to get some super bright LED spot lights in the future but the floods work for now.
As a fellow Haunter I thank you for sharing the evolution of your lighting, that really helped me a lot for this year!
Your so welcome, its not super fancy and all ran by computers yet, but it is a step up from the norm. Thanks for your support and the feed back it means a lot to us. =)
Just some helpful info but Holidaycoro has rgb lights in rectangle or square from about $1.04 to $1.19 each. I used these for the first time this year and they worked great. Now to try and figure out what to do with all those 100 watt floods and bases I have and not going to use again.
When you do start let me know if you have any questions and I may be able to help. I have added some part numbers to the video to help in researching product ideas. Thanks for the comment
That Holidaycoro is a nice site with good prices thanks for letting me know.
i dont know if youve seen the plug and play led set ups that some haunters have posted videos of using rca connectors. Would you recommend the box thing you used over that method? Ive been messing around with that but its not too good for rgb leds. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Where did you get the LED modules
Love the control box set up where do you get the bus bars or whatever the are for the boxes and your led strands
You should be able to get the 22 - 10 AWG 8-Circuit Terminal Blocks in electrical at Home Depot. They should have different lengths
Ok thanks will check it out I like the idea of being able to wire what color you want
Where did you get the LEDs at ?
Where did you get the RGB Wire from?
Chason Harrell sorry for the delay, I just wrote you back on the other video but here it is again. We purchased the cable through J's LED Power Inc. the cable is 20 AWG wire and the part number is CW-200RGB-20 its should be about $60.00 for 200' or so. You may find discounts if you purchase 4 spools or more online. good luck =)
