What are indoor and outdoor Halloween lights?

Halloween lights that work indoors and outdoors come in numerous designs. You can get traditional strands with bulbs in your favorite colors or strands with added details, such as "icicles" or molds. Some come in nets that cover bushes or in shapes, such as spider webs, for quick and easy decorating. There are also projectors that display creepy and fun images on flat surfaces.

Regardless of your chosen design, Halloween lights for both indoors and outdoors must be waterproof and rated for outdoor use.

Indoor and outdoor Halloween projector lights

Projectors make excellent Halloween lights. They can project a single set of images, such as dancing ghosts or pumpkins , or they can come with sets of slides that rotate four Halloween pictures at a time.

Many of them come with wall mounts, table stands and stakes that can be pressed into the ground. However, some have components that must not get wet, so read the directions thoroughly before displaying one outdoors in bad weather.
