Thread: Mini Clip On LED Lights

Tweet

Anyone who bought these from Jack's Toolshed last year beware. They must've gotten a lot of orders from people last year, because instead of being 85 cents each like they were last year the price is now $3.00. Found this site instead where they are .75 cents each if you buy 48.

Thx, murtisha. At that price (Jack's) they are only going to hear crickets this year!

Are these the same lights in the other (massive) thread?

Yes, I have experienced them. Buying 4 last year from Jacks, the light after about an hour or so does dim significantly in my opinion. For $3 or anything over a dollar I would not buy them again knowing this. I ended up losing the lights to my ex girlfriend, but if I were to do lights again, I would invest in the cheaper flood lights which don't give "spot light" affects but it gives it more of an eerie look which I find better.

Yeah, especially the red ones, but I bought enough I replaced a round of them and they got me through the night. I want to look into what you're talking about also this year though.

Yup, I bought the red ones. I wasn't pleased with the effect I got. Hopefully they will be better for someone else.

not sure if its the same light or not, but dollar tree has mini clip on LED lights for... $1 theres a thread somewhere about them.

The issue with these mini-lights is that they're made as disposable party favors. They have tiny little batteries in them that will only last a few hours, which is fine if you just want to dance and run around. I got some last year and was disappointed, they got very dim after a couple of hours and were useless. For lighting a haunt, you want something that either runs off bigger batteries or a wall wart. I made some LED spotlights according to one of the plans here and they lasted all night running off a 9V battery.

I got a bunch of these lights last year and they were perfect. I still have all of them. We had them on about 6 hours halloween night. Not worth $3.00 a piece that's for sure.

You can get the same price per light buying as few as 12.
