Alternatives to Candles for Halloween Decorating

There are many alternatives to using candles as lights for Halloween decorations. If you are concerned about safety, and want to avoid the risk of fire, there are many choices now available in electric and battery-operated lights.

Black lights are traditional lights for Halloween decorations because of the eerie glow they give to anything white, or painted with special black light paint. The traditional sickly green is perfect for an eerie effect, but many other colors are available. No longer limited to the old tubes, black lights are now available in specialty bulbs, and light strings just for Halloween decorating.

If you do not want to use a candle for your Jack-O-Lantern, but want the eerie flickering effect, try a flickering electric Christmas candle. They are sold on candlesticks, so you may need a tall pumpkin, but have the advantage of now being available battery-operated.

Colored lighting is also a way of achieving eerie lighting effects. You can replace your regular bulbs with ones in every color of the rainbow. ‘Icicle lights,’ as well as rope lights and strings of Christmas-style lighting, are also now available in orange to hang from your eaves for the Halloween season.

If novelty lights are what you are looking for, there are abundant choices. In addition to the usual strings of pumpkin lights, you can find bats, spiders, skulls, creepy eyes, and a seemingly unlimited variety of other shapes. Rope strings, luminaries, and walkway lighting are all available for decorating both the interior and exterior of your home, and can be found in almost every variation imaginable.
