Thread: Your flood light color of choice..

Tweet

So, this year I'm using flood lights for the first time. It was hard deciding on the color. IMO, blue gives an eery haunting effect. Green gives of a goo'ish gory effect and red a firey gates of Hell effect. They all have their strong points. I decided on blue. What's your choice, and post pictures if you've got them handy. Here's my scarecrow lit with blue..I'm going to add an orange flicker light to the inside of his head today..


I'd like to see the different looks of different colors.

I tried blue a few years back and it just didn't work for me. Switched to green last year and I liked that much more.

Blue is a little creepier I think, but green tends to travel further...if that makes sense

Hmmm, I did the exact opposite. I liked the creepy feel of the green, but the blue looked more like moonlight and really improved the overall feel of my cemetery. I don't think I'd ever go back.

I have tried everything from green to blue to amber, and red. I think the blue overall lighting is by far the best.

It does make sense. With the blue, you can see in my pic, that it doesn't extend beyond the object it's shining on. I think most of my money,so far,this year has gone in to lighting

Green all the way, baby. I also replace all of my lights in the house with green bulbs. Well just for the party not for the season ; )

Why pick? Go with white.

Then visit your local theatrical supply store. Buy yourself some gels. Much wider range of colors available, and you can get the exact effect you want. They are designed to go on megawattage stage lights, so 100-150 watt floods (or less) won't hurt them at all. You can even combine them to get yourself unique colors. I've used chocolate a few times for some really creepy effects.

I swear by gels. No point in getting precolored lights when gels give you so much flexibility for so little cost.

I actually go with a combo of blue and green, lol. For all the reasons stated above. Best of both worlds...

I bought two flood lights this year and am not sure what color to use. I will definatly be watching this thread and hoping that you guys post some picks up with the other colors as well.
