Lighting Trick’s that will work a Treat this Halloween
Transform your lighting into an unBOOlievably scare-tacular display
Have you heard? It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, we aren’t talking presents and tinsel, more like petrifying movies and terrifying costumes. That’s right guys and ghouls, it’s Halloween.
Make them scream with Halloween Themes
We couldn’t let Halloween pass us by without creating some limited edition Themes to spook up your home. Inspired by all that induces stomach churning uneasiness, the Creepy Theme breaks all the rules of the color wheel and bring those broken down circus vibes with orange, green and purple.
Forget about making your house a home, make it the stuff of movies with the Haunted Theme, a selection of greens you’d find on the climbers and moss over growing the abandoned shack on the outskirts of town. Don’t fall for the classic orange, try our official Halloween theme with greens and purples that look surprisingly scary glowing through windows and around the cracks of doors.
If these don’t cause the spine-chilling effect you were hoping for, you can create your own hair-raising, nightmarish, bone-chilling display by saving a custom color palette to scenes. Use the Animate theme to do as Dr Victor Frankenstein did and bring them to life.
Creep it simple with Effects
We can’t get enough of everything that scares, so we keep some creepy Effects available in our app all year around. Set the mood for a haunted house or scary movie by adding an eerie Candle Flicker to your lights.
Or try out the effect you never knew you wanted with Spooky. This slow pulse mimics the look of breath flogging up glass, because you know, Halloween just isn’t scary enough. Customize the speed of effects to match the mood of your event, or use them inside a pumpkin to create the coolest Jack O-lantern on the block.
Easy tricks that will get this party startled
Seeing your friends and family shiver in terror is one of the purest joys of Halloween. To help you bring the fear, try our favorite lighting based pranks. App control means you can activate your lights from anywhere, a practical feature and an opportunity for evil.
Try leaving the room (or house) and share the scare by turning the lights on and off at random. Flashing colors like orange and red, or throwing in a little strobe is a great way to mix it up. If they want proof you aren’t to blame, set a schedule or sneaky integration made to startle and set your lights off automatically, watching the fright first hand.
Follow in the footsteps of our favorite on-screen duo Dustin and Steve and send some secret messages in Morse code, or set up your own Stranger Things themed message board. It’s time to get creepy.
