Most will be packaged with a helpful remote too so you can control your light sources at a distance without greatly disturbing your party host responsibilities.
Ways to use Halloween LED Lights
As mentioned, Halloween lighting is very easy to use, so when Halloween rolls around you can concentrate on throwing an excellent party while your lighting passively does all the legwork. The lights are LEDs, so they will glow far stronger than a standard bulb fixture while using less electricity and not generating as much heat. We supply many strobe lights and UV lights amongst other effect lighting which will often be coupled with smoke machines to get the most from each fixture.
It’s your Halloween party so feel free to decorate to your heart's content but take care when it comes to your lighting order. Moderation is rather essential in this instance as having too many different lighting styles can easily stray into rave territory. A standard UV light will change the dynamic of the room right away, then including an effect light or two such as a strobe or one of the 'jelly ball' systems.
Again, if you want a few more lights involved then that is perfectly fine, this is just a rough guide. Also, take full advantage of our smoke machine selection to as Halloween lights look frightfully good around smoke effects such as fog and haze. When smoke is introduced to lighting, the entirety of the light beam is detailed as it meets the smoke itself.
Halloween Light Tips & Tricks
Set up two LED Ultraviolet light bars at opposite ends of your main party room - their enhanced brightness will ensure full UV coverage of your room. Then set up a smoke machine and your effects lights somewhere central, this method will immediately turn your room into a makeshift haunted house. The rest of the decoration is up to you, but consider researching on which party foods react under UV light, you may be surprised at what changes.
We also stock decorative Halloween lights in the form of hangable ghosts and pumpkins for an additional final touch on your decorative designs. Perhaps you can even incorporate some sort of UV reactive face paint or similar to alter the appearance of costumes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Halloween lights?
Halloween lights are a type of decorative lighting used to create a spooky and exciting atmosphere during Halloween. These lights come in various forms, including string lights, floodlights, spotlights, and projection lights, and they are typically designed with Halloween-themed motifs such as ghosts, skeletons, witches, and pumpkins.
What is a UV light?
UV disco lights, also referred to as blacklights, are an artificial light source that is prevalent in dance clubs, parties, and other entertainment venues. They produce ultraviolet radiation that causes bright colours, including neon pink, luminous yellow, and white, to radiate in the dark.
What are laser lights?
Laser lights are a type of lighting technology that produces a highly focused, intense beam of light using laser diodes. They are commonly used for entertainment purposes, such as in laser light shows or for lighting up dance floors at clubs and concerts. And, if used correctly, they can also be a great asset to your Halloween lighting setup.
Laser lights can produce a variety of colours by combining different wavelengths of light. Some laser lights are designed to create patterns or shapes, while others are used for more simple effects, such as a straight beam of light.
What are the best lights for Halloween?
There isn’t a singular ‘best’ light that can be used for Halloween; it depends on your setup and what you require/want.
The most popular lights for Halloween are normally UV lights and moonflower lights, since they are very unique and create effects that are especially suitable for Halloween. Other lights include LED spotlights, flame lights and laser lights.
How do I make my house scary for a Halloween party?
To make your house or room scary for the ultimate Halloween setup, there are several things that can be used.
UV lights help to enhance bright colours by making them glow in the dark; they are great for making your Halloween costume look even scarier with luminous, glowing colours. String lights and laser lights can also help to create a creepy, spooky ambience in your house if used correctly, too.
Smoke/fog machines can help to enhance your lighting by highlighting entire beams of light from moonflower and laser lights, which makes your Halloween setup all the more scary and cool. In addition to this, the smoke/fog can also create a sense of mystery and unknown in your house, therefore completing what would be a brilliantly creepy Halloween setup.
What is a smoke/fog machine?
Smoke and fog machines are devices designed to generate vapour or mist, commonly utilised for theatrical, cinematic, or special effects applications. Their operation entails heating a liquid, usually a glycol or water-based fog fluid, to produce a dense mist or fog that the user can manage and guide.
The smoke or fog created by these machines can produce various effects, such as augmenting lighting effects, establishing an eerie ambiance, or concealing actors or scenery on stage. They are frequently used in music concerts, theatrical productions, haunted houses, and other special events.
What are string lights?
String lights are usually used for Christmas, and are often referred to as Christmas or fairy lights, although they are also used frequently for Halloween too. They consist of a ‘string’ of small bulbs or LEDs that can be used indoors or outdoors. They come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, and can be strung along walls, ceilings, trees, and other structures.
What colours are the best for Halloween?
When it comes to Halloween, there are several colours that are often associated with it, and they can be used to create a spooky Halloween themed atmosphere.
The most common colours for Halloween include orange, black, green, purple and red. Wearing these colours on your Halloween costume can be further enhanced with a UV light, since it makes brighter colours glow up in the dark.
How many lights do I need for Halloween?
The number of lights you should have for Halloween depends on firstly, how big the room/area for your setup is, and secondly, how many lights you want for your setup.
If you want to go all out for your Halloween lighting setup, then you would most likely get more lights to create the ultimate atmosphere for the spooky season. However, if you want a minimal setup, you can use fewer lights to create an eerie atmosphere.
What is the most popular Halloween decoration?
Aside from lighting, Halloween decorations usually include pumpkins, ghost puppets and fake spider webbing. Fake tombstones, when paired with fog or smoke machines and other lights, can really spice up your Halloween layout, making it an epic, terrifying experience for trick-or-treaters.
