Halloween Home Lighting Decorations

Looking to add some suspense to your décor? What better way than to show off a few lighting tricks? Lighting, or the lack of lighting, plays a large part in today’s suspense and thriller movies. Take what you’ve seen on the big screen and implement it on your home, without the super-scary villain of course. Create a dramatic feel by adding a remote controlled color changing RGB light at the base of a tree or side of your home and point it upwards. This lighting technique is called wall grazing and is used to accentuate textured surfaces, creating shadows. Along with a variety of colors, you have the option of cycling through effects like flash, fade, and strobe, or even turning the light off when an unsuspecting trick-or-treater arrives.
