This article provides tips for enhancing your exterior lighting and fully embrace the Halloween spirit.
Halloween is almost here, meaning millions in the country have adopted the trick-or-treat spirit. One way that people do this is by setting up Halloween-themed outdoor lighting in their homes. This article provides tips for enhancing your exterior lighting and fully embracing the Halloween spirit.
Develop Background Shadows in Your Landscape
By placing lights low on the ground and having them go upward, you can develop the appearance of shadows within the background. Once a person appears in your landscape, you can make the illusion of a distorted shadow that occurs over the light. You may use uplighting to emphasize features such as trees and to form depth and soft shadows on the ground.
Emphasize Dark Colors
Black and orange lights are traditional Halloween colors that almost everyone knows. Blue lights can create a spooky scene for a more dramatic effect. Consider using floodlights with a blue shade to produce a frightening effect. Blue lights can also boost a graveyard-like impact to complement the nighttime atmosphere.
Form A Fire
Fire is another good way to create a scary ambiance. However, make sure to place flames in a direction that will not harm anyone interacting with your outdoor space. You can also use flickering orange exterior lighting as an alternative to fire. Use candles and store them inside some jack-o-lanterns for a more traditional look.
Consider Using a Fog Machine
You should know that fog will cover most of your surrounding landscape when using a fog machine. In particular, a fog machine can create the appearance of ghosts moving around your lawn. You can also improve your effects with track exterior lighting placed on the ground. Create cool effects with track lighting on the ground so the color will look like it is distributing fog.
