Are you looking for spotlights to light the sky or a prop? Color, UV, or white, LED or incandescent? Give us some idea on what you'd like to do with the spot and I'm sure people here can help you decide. Usually with a haunt you don't want bright, so I'm guessing you want to do something very specific with the spot to attract attention?

hmmm ok yes it can be beat lol.

i like very cheap. i used these https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/component-leds/5mm-cool-white-high-flux-led-90-degree-viewing-angle-5500-mcd/353/1300/ i guess they went up a little in price. they are now $0.59 each

but i like that they are in the U.S., shipping is fast, the ones i ordered have a wide viewing angle 90° vs 30°. but it all depends on what you are using the lights for. the smaller angle gives more intense light on a smaller area. also the high flux ones are about twice as bright(5500 MCD vs 2000-3000 MCD). but for the price i could make more... decisions decisions

tayda is also very cheap for other things, resistors, relays, caps etc if your into building or modding controllers.

 

[89Lt1]

ya they have a ton. how long does shipping usually take? think i can get an order before the big night?

 

[untillater]

usually around 10-14 days. I have had it take 17 days. so you should get it before the day but may not be enough time for you to do what you want with the parts

I looked at the Plug and Play LED spot lighting, and loved it! I will be making several larger ones, with several LEDs inside each. last year I bought 600 UV (blacklight) LEDs, and will be using them to light the Blacklight highlights on our haunt.

Off to Lowes...

Take a look at this thread... http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/130792-just-came-our-lowes.html
Lowes is just now getting in the LED 'spots' for $16.08. I have a similar one from last year and it's a good color wash light. Comes with a red and green lens...Christmas colors...but we can adapt to that.

I use those for both Christmas and Halloween. They are great.

nice i made two of the larger ones also, i am connecting them to the build your own lightning machine http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/127831-build-you-own-lightning-machine.html.

i uised six high flux leds in each and both lights combined are way below the 200 watt limit of the board. good luck and drop me a line if you have any questions
