Spooky LED Outdoor Lighting Ideas for Halloween

Spooky season is coming in fast, so now is the time to start preparing those ghoulish and ghastly outdoor decorations! From witches and goblins to pumpkins and skeletons, the only limit to your Halloween decorating options is your own imagination. Delight the neighborhood trick-or-treaters with a well-designed outdoor lighting scene using high-quality, energy-efficient LED outdoor lighting, designed by Tampa Bay’s best outdoor lighting contractor, Decorating Elves. In this post, we’ll share some of our favorite outdoor LED Halloween decorating ideas to make your yard the talk of the neighborhood this year!

Creepy Pathways

Bring the trick-or-treaters straight to your door with spooky pathway lights. Place LED lights along walkways, then change the color to a dim green to give a haunting glow. Purple or orange lights can also be good choices for pathway lights. You can even level up and use festive lighting fixtures, like pumpkins, skulls, candles, or lanterns.

Ghostly Silhouettes

Uplighting is an outdoor lighting technique that gives a dramatic, startling effect to anything it features. Use uplighting to cast scary shadows on large empty exterior walls. Ghosts, skeletons, gravestones, and even bare-branched trees can all make great uplighting objects.

Haunted House Illumination

Let the shadows take over with LED floodlights that will make the average home look like a haunted mansion. The floodlights can be placed in strategic locations to cast dark corners and hair-raising highlights, giving your house that “horror movie” feel. Finish off the haunted house ambiance with flickering candle LEDs.

Glowing Pumpkin Patch

Jack-o-lanterns are a mainstay in any Halloween decor, but using real candles inside the pumpkins makes it a short-lived experience. But no more! LED lights inside your jack-o-lanterns will ensure that you can enjoy the glowing gourds for as long as possible. You can even experiment with different colors like green and purple to really make those pumpkins pop!

Foggy Graveyard Ghouls

Create a spooky graveyard scene in your front yard by pairing fog machines with LED ground lighting. Low-lying LED lights with a cool or greenish hue can mimic the eerie glow of moonlight shining through the fog, turning your yard into a petrifying scene. Add some tombstones, skeletons, ghosts, and cobwebs to complete the deathly look.
