Some Tips To Enhance Malibu Lights For Halloween

Some Tips To Enhance Malibu Lights For Halloween

Here are some tips to consider for lighting your Halloween lawn decorations.

  • Put a carved pumpkin over a light.  Many stores sell plastic pumpkins that you can carve out.  Just add a large enough hole at the bottom of the pumpkin so it can be placed over a Malibu light.

In the image above is the Malibu filter kit I purchased.

 

Malibu-Glass-Color-Filters-usedAs you can see in the image above, the Malibu blue glass filter fits perfectly into the 8301-9300-01 light fixture.  I just laid the glass filter on top of the bulb.  When I screwed in the top of the light fixture, the filter was held in place.

Below is another example where I put glass filters into Malibu spot instruments.
