Lighting a trail?

[BigT]

I built some of these myself from this video with some modifications to fit my needs. They work great and cost me very little to make. I plan on making more next year for spot lighting specific props and areas inside and outside!

Thanks for posting that tutorial! Can't say how much I (all of us at The Twisted Forest) appreciate what you do for this industry Allen!!!

We bought some LED's and put some lights together. We did modify the barrel slightly. We used an aluminum arrow instead of the tomato stake, no idea if this is any better but the inside of the arrow is brushed aluminum so it may be a little more reflective. It is more expensive so we are going to try and find them cheaper or just buy some aluminum tubes to cut. In the images below you can see the inside of the arrow and the other picture is all the lights. We purchased one of each color from the site to see which colors we liked best. There were 2 that had a cool effect, they transitioned from RGB. One was slow and one was fast.

Now that we've learned about these LED's we are coming up with a lot of different uses for them! One idea we have is to use the Tiki torch holders and put maybe 3 LED's (Warm White, Red, & Yellow) in the stem of the holder pointing up towards where the fuel can would sit and attach something reflective on the top so the light reflects down and out of the Tiki holder. This would really be for effect rather than lighting the trail. Then, we will probably take the green LED's and hang them up above the trail pointing down. Any thoughts about the reflector on top of the Tiki?

If you want something with not only a great look but also something that will light your trail and go with the theme! I invite you to checkout our site. We have great bargains on multiple items including if you are interested in several lanterns. We have sold hundreds of these to many great haunted houses including Disturbia Haunted House. We have bright battery operated leds for them that will last the season. Checkout the site and give me a call. I can probably help you with other lighting ideas that would go great with your haunt. And not only light the way but really set your haunt off!
Thanks,

If your using or have no problem using Burn Barrels.. Just get some Old Oil drums (50gal.) and goto your local stores and start collecting old pallets, they make good and free firewood. Dont see how this wouldnt work, same goes with cardboard etc. And LINT from your dryer makes an excellent fire starter.

Hey guys I thought I would throw this out there-
http://www.harborfreight.com/solar-p...att-68751.html

I used this solar panel and two car batteries to power almost 100 LED,s after six hours or so they start to dim so I moved a third battery into the mix to finish out the night. the first two batteries were charged by the solar panels and the third was charged where I had power and dropped off when it was needed.
It may or may not work for you, the whole set up was around $500
