Thread: Help! Jack-o-lantern Lighting (Funkin)

Tweet

I recently carved several Funkins and am looking for a way to light them. I have an abundance of little 1w flicker bulbs, but I cannot find anywhere that sells the cord and socket. I tried looking up the name of one on a complete store bought jack-o-lantern I got from target, but there website says only large industrial orders. HELP!

I used a socket that we found I at Jo-Anne Fabrics. It has a spring that holds up the light socket. I think they were only a couple of dollars but I bought them a few years back.

Is this what your looking for? They have alot of lighting stuff and really fast shippingLamp Cords / Electric Cords - Lights / Lamp Kits / Bulbs - Factory Direct Craft Supply

Yes, Thank You. Now if only I could find one or two I can use outdoors.

I picked up a dozen of these bad boys and they work great. I will have a dozen Funkins carved out for my scarecrow scene along with the LED strobe and chunks of dry ice for each Funkin.

I don't know your set up but you could use a Christmas light string not the mini size but the C7 size and put a few in each one. I use green to give an eerie glow and paint the cut part of the carved pumpkin green also to help the effect.

I use HowlerBrand pumpkin battery powered LED pumpkin lights. It flickers also and comes in yellow or a multi-colored selectable version.

BTW I saw small single bulb cords and switches at Dollar Tree. Not made for outdoors however. You can buy individual cords at the store, but here's their bulk webpage area just so you can see what it looks like: Bulk Christmas House Single Clip Lights with Power Cord at DollarTree.com
