Here are my new props for 2008. They are not quite done yet. I may use them to house a motion detector triggered speaker box. Better still, I can use them for storage once our day of fright is over.

Nice. How tall are they?

About 45" tall not counting the lantern. The cylinder is a 20" diameter cardbord inner diamter sleave for an aluminum sheet metal coil--free (Working in the office of a aluminum coil processing plant has a few perks).

Very creative and multitasking is a good thing too.

nice columns, any chance you can explain the motion detector speaker box?

i found them on ebay, but they are really a light sensor. if a shadow moves into the sensor range it activates the device. Here is the link.

I have some of mine hooked up to ac/dc wall adapter, which sometimes will activate the device as soon as power is turned on.

I have those talking motion detectors. They work great!
I used them last year and when I was finished, I stored them on shelves in my garage. They have gone off a few times when I wasn't expecting it. I've been startled quite a few times

how is the sound quality on them? and compared to "normal" talking volume can they be loud?

dpolking · #9 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 06:38 PM

sound quality is not the greatest, nor the volume, but you they have a speaker jack that you can output to a set of powered pc speakers to increase the volumn if needed.
