fence lamps

[Andybev01]

Too cool. Are you going to dye the twine and, what will you use for the light source?

[Spookymufu]

well Andy......I plan on dirtying up the jar with paint washes, then maybe also the twine, and as far as the light source, I have no idea at this point...

[adrian]

well let us know when you do.. i'm gonig to attempt this project

[Spookymufu]

I went to walmart last night and bought a string of C7 lights (certain size of Christmas lights) then bought some amber bulbs to put in it. I figured I'd try some yellow bulbs to see how it looks.....

[adrian]

how many are you making?

and how long do those battery tea lights last for?

[Spookymufu]

I'm planning on all 12 of the mason jars.

The tea lights last for a long time, believe it or not, the dollar store tea lights last the longest and seem brighter then the more expensive ones, but I dont think they are bright enough to look good with these jars but let us know if you try em.

[adrian]

i think thats what i'm going to try.. if they're not light enough how are you going to wire your jars up with lights without wires hanging out the top? are you going to drill through the bottom?

i'm able to drill through glass but man its a pain

[Spookymufu]

no, I'll have to hide the wires with the twine "hangers".

[adrian]

oh yea i forgot about that.. that does make things so much easier lol let me know how you do it (i'm not good with wiring things)

wouldn't it be cool to have those lamps triggered off my a motion senser? like the one you posted about that would give a "ghastly" feel to those who walk up on em in the dark and then all of a sudden these lamps light up all around them

[Spookymufu]

once all the set up is done, all you would need to do is plug it into one of those sensors, so easy.....

Great idea!

Taking it even further, have some torches on a wall with a gas line. The sensor triggers a small gas valve
and electronic igniter in the torch and lights an actual flame. Have a bunch of torches along a long walk
connected to multiple senors so as someone walks along, the torch in front of them lights up. Turn the
main gas valve off to extinguish them all at once then catch the next person.

I'm gonna have to see if we can work this into next year's party entrance. Depends on where we have it.

[Spookymufu]

if I tried that, I'd blow up my self and burn down the house

[adrian]

this is a must!
spook i believe that motion senser thing you posted may have opened up a LOAD of options for next years haunt. i'm excited now.. i bookmarked one of your projects and i hope that was the one i book marked

Ha! Ha! But what a show for the neighbors!

$2.25 on eBay. I'll have to ask my friends if they want to do it before I put any effort into it.

[adrian]

hahahahaha do it nevermore!! i wanna see how these motion sensor torches work hahaha i'm like spook! i don't have the confidence to fool with that!!
