Easy DIY Color-Changing Halloween LED Decoration Lights - Pumpkin & Accent Lighting

Easy DIY Color-Changing Halloween LED Decoration Lights - Pumpkin & Accent Lighting
In today's Instructable, I'm going to demonstrate a 5 minute plug & play, easy installation of Oznium's Prewired RGB Color Changing LEDs as Halloween Lights / Candle Replacements &Decorations / Accent Lighting.

What's so brilliant about these LEDs? They're 100% plug and play, 12V ready, built in resistor, polarity protection built in, as well as the built in RGB controller - all right into the wiring !

Every Prewired RGB LED will slowly emit a steady fading glow, gradually changing to hundreds different colors with our overlapping LumiFlux™ color system. Even for a few, or hundreds of these connected to the same power source - due to our on-board AdaptFade™ technology from Oznium, you're guaranteed a vibrant, colorful unique show every time, from each LED!

For under the price of a normal big-box store cliche halloween inflatable / witch lighting decoration set (that let's be honest... is a bit outdated) you can use crafts, halloween decorations (like we've done!) or even insert a few of these Waterproof Prewired Color Changing LEDs directly into a pumpkin and have a truly unique & spectacular decoration and conversation piece setup in under 10 minutes.

Go Green, Save Energy, and also be safe this Halloween season with LEDs from Oznium !

Select a Suitable Pumpkin / Halloween Decoration to add the LEDs to
First, we need something to light up! Instead of adding cliche christmas or orange lights to the pumpkin ornaments this year, we'll be using Automatic Color Changing LEDs from Oznium. These super bright LEDs are plug-and-play, just connect them to a 12V power source / adapter, and you're ready to go!

Let's start by choosing these Aluminum Pumpkins to add some Automatic RGB Color Changing LED Lighting to.

Now that we know what we're going to light up, find a method / way to secure and insert the LED lighting source, I personally found that the aluminum gaps & creases in these decorations were quite easy to make larger, and the exact size to snugly fit an LED inside.

  • Ideas : You may use a pumpkin, or pretty much any source you can wire these inside, they're waterproof! Don't be afraid to get the drill out and some sealant to have the coolest LED pumpkin on the block, but BE SAFE!
