Thread: Tombstone Lighting? Your Setup's

Tweet

What's a good LED that some of you use on your tombstones. I'm creating my own this year. So I want to know which is best to use. 36 LED, 50 LED or 72 LED?

Any insight?

Ok instead of that question...what color are you using on ur tombstones.. I'm torn between blue, green or both.

My first year too on using lighting. I'm going green.

I bought some small $0.97 single LED lights that end up throwing out a good amount of light and are very easy to hide. Saw them recomended in a post here...can't find the link now.

I use blue on tombstones, and have a red flood on my reaper which stands on a pile of bones. when combined with fog, and strobes, looks real good.

I have a mix on mine...blue and green...though it isn't LED but it gives you an idea of what you might expect...

I'm also running one blue one green, with a red spotlight on my spider victim. I'm also running a lightning box this year to light up the house white when the lightning hits

i bought blue flood lights but it's not really working for me. can yall tell me which kind of led lights your using?

We made a bunch of LED lights using PVC and bottle caps. We made orange, green, blue and red. We thought that the blue ones worked best for tombstones and we made a whole bunch of those. For this year we really kind of went all out and added a whole bunch of DMX RGB lights. DMX allows us to completely control the color and the brightness of the light and have it change as our show runs. We also added some blue LEDs with MR-16 bases. I hacked a bunch of $5 malibu lights from HomeDepot http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...atalogId=10053 and put these blue lights in them http://besthongkong.com/index.php?cPath=9_27.

Here's a pic from last year with one of the blue 5 LED's I made a couple of years ago. We got the new lights because the ones I made are a bit small.

One of the best bits of information I've read on this subject came from the legendary Skull and Bone tutorial. They said that they use green lights for anything sci-fi or UFO-ish, blue for anything supernatural, and red for anything hellish. I've found this to be one of the greatest, most straightforward tips yet.

I'm still not having much luck getting the lighting quite right to match the vision I've got, but it's not because the colors weren't right! Good luck!
