These lights save so much money on extension cords = well worth the cost. Thanks dude. Love ur channel!

@VanOaksProps 24 дня назад

Thanks for watching!

@DarbyJGeorge Год назад

The dark clouds rolling in during the time lapse was an awesome addition! Love your videos!

@VanOaksProps Год назад

Yeah, that was an unexpected bonus and a nice change from the 100° weather we had a few weeks ago.

@Pippi-Longstocking Год назад

I was LITERALLY just looking at these!!

@EngybingyVideos Год назад

For the last 3 years I've been using LED indoor working flood lights I found on sale at a local hardware store. I cut to fit transparent colored binder dividers as my color gels. It worked well color wise, but every night I'd have to bring the lights in. I just ordered these Ustellar Lights Saturday afternoon, and they arrived today (Monday 2 days later), wow!! Super excited to get these turned on tonight. Thanks for all your amazing videos. Yourself, Hollywood Haunters, and Wicked Makers are the three channels that inspired me to do my own home haunt. Your videos inspire me to do it all as DIY as possible. My kids love our house haunt, my wife loves it, and my neighbors all love it. Massive thank you as always.

I'm bookmarking this video for next year. I'm in the majority with the nest of extension cords! What a space and time saver! As always, thank you for sharing! 🎃

@wdwnutjm Год назад

nice job!!! I appreciate your very detailed instructions/tips along with all the links. our front yard has its own challenge, simply because we set up & take down entirely on Halloween. we went to LED blacklights a few years ago - we'll check these floodlights out for the future

@BeeHus2256 Год назад

I bought those lights earlier this season, except mine was a 4 stringer. I love love them!!! So easy to use and set up and ONE PLUG. 👍🏼👏👏👏👏👏

@VanOaksProps Год назад

Yeah, cutting down on the number of cords is a huge bonus.

Thank you for this! It totally helped solve part of my lighting problems. I just picked up a set and cannot wait for them to get here 🎃🎃

@David-mp6vc Год назад

Still playing serious catch up with your videos. This is PERFECT as I've dealt with the lighting cords vs outlets problem for years not to mention storage space. I guarantee these will be a part of my 2023 Halloween 🎃 offering! Great job.

@johnc4932 Год назад

Thanks! We have a phenomenal graveyard with a lot of stones (34 of varying sizes) spread across our front lawn but no lighting - YET. I’ve been dreading the number of extension cords needed. After seeing this video I’m thinking long and hard about giving these a whirl to see if they meet our needs.

@SirAnthony63 Год назад

Looks amazing 💀

@colemyst Год назад

Let's call this better than good. This is Great!

@tanktexas Год назад

I have those exact lights they are amazing, but I wish the cord between each light was like 5 feet longer. And if y'all get them make sure you read the directions. The first light needs to be in the wifi area

@VanOaksProps Год назад

Yeah, 15' cord would be really nice! And yes, it must be in range of a wifi signal.

'Love your videos, thank you. I recently purchased the six pack of LED smart lights and found that my router doesn't support 2.4ghz. So I can't connect them to my android. I think this might be good to mention.

@GHILLIESARCADEANDMORE Год назад

Cool

@hudsonkb Год назад

I use their individually powered lights

@danielbudde180 Год назад

These look exactly like what I’m looking for..

@isometrixk Год назад

I don't think they have the wattage to cast light a large area but you're using them perfectly!

@kjohnsonleedap Год назад

I bought these and installed them in my haunt! Nice to have only one power cord. My only complaint is I’m finding it hard to achieve a red color that doesn’t register as pink. Ended up sticking with orange tones.

@VanOaksProps Год назад

If you drop the brightness the color saturation will intensify, which may give you a more red looking red.

@HMFan2010 Год назад

I bought some of these but be advised: they function ONLY on a 2.4GHz Wifi network. They are VERY nice lights despite the network requirement.

@VanOaksProps Год назад

That's correct. Thankfully most wifi routers are able to flip between bands.

@afg122602 Год назад

not sure if you've done this before but can we get a video on storage when it's time to pack it all up?

@kendragilbertson3447 9 месяцев назад

Looks great! Did you use 100 or 40 watt?

@VanOaksProps 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! Those are the 100 watt version.

@johnc4932 Год назад

Would love to know how many sets of these you ended up using to light your graveyard/cemetery?

@VanOaksProps Год назад

Just the one set.

@LordHog Год назад

One feature, or lack of the feature, for these types of lights is they don’t save/remember their last state when powered off then powered back on. So, my question would be do these lights remember their last state when power cycled or do I have to use the app each time they are power cycled to set their colors?

@VanOaksProps Год назад

They keep their programming.

@lisa.melton Год назад

Love your hat! Thought maybe it was part of your merchandise. But didn't find it. Would love to know where it's from?

They do not.

@COLONELDIRTY Год назад

Great videos as always, thank you for sharing! I have always wondered, how do you store all your halloween props after the season? Would a storing video be possible later this year? :)

@jackdabeanstock3230 Год назад

Are you able to dim down the light as an effect

@VanOaksProps Год назад

There aren’t any animation controls for a dimming/brightening effect, but you can lower the brightness on each light as a fixed setting.

@jackdabeanstock3230 Год назад

@@VanOaksProps thank you. As long as I can adjust the brightness so I don't overpower the decoration too much

@ScareHollow Год назад

Your city allows you to put those columns on the sidewalk?? Here they would be illegal for Ada wheelchair laws. They are epic columns though. I love the rgb lights. I light each tombstone in mine with LED modules but I'm warming up to floods where they fit in mine. A good mix is great. Love the candles!!!

@VanOaksProps Год назад

I wouldn't say they allow it....

@stalker42 Год назад

Did you cover the wire going across the front walk?

@VanOaksProps Год назад

We cover them with a heavy door mat. But we also don't let trick or treaters come up the walk way after having an issue a few years back. So we hand out candy right at the gate for safety.

@stoney268 Год назад

you always do like the same setup? My wife wants a different theme every year lol

@TheSkellingtonGhost Год назад

I always feel like its a money savor when you pick one theme and expand on it every year. I suppose you can remodel the same props to do a different theme. Like making the same graveyard scene different each year with placement and tweaking it to different graveyard like themes like Sleepy Hallow, beetlejuice, vampires, disney haunted mansion, nightmare before Christmas, zombies, etc.

@VanOaksProps Год назад

Yep. Almost exactly the same every year. It allows me to focus on refining things rather than rushing to try and finish something new (and figuring out what to do with all the old stuff).

@stoney268 Год назад

@@TheSkellingtonGhost a graveyard is a very good theme for that yes. Should have heard this a few years back lol
