Get Ready for Halloween with Lutron Lighting Control

We’ve talked plenty in our blog about how lighting control and smart home automation makes your life easier, more convenient, and even safer. But how about a dose of some good old fashioned fun?  

Halloween is right around the corner, and while it's fun for the kids, consuming that much candy may not be conducive to good health in adults. However, we do have our toys – tools like Lutron lighting control to make our house the scariest on the block. So, besides all the convenience and efficiency that lighting control can bring to your Buckhead, GA home, let’s explore the fun side for Halloween!

Go Black and Orange

Add lighting strings or light strips on the way to your front door in creative ways. LED light strips are remotely controllable and capable of a wide array of colors as well as effects. Holiday lights can attract the kids (and their curious parents) to come to check out your spooky Buckhead manse. 

Add Scary Surprises

If you want to get a little more into it, use motion sensors to trigger scary things that pop out in the dark. As trick-or-treaters walk by, a motion sensor triggers a bright light in the lawn with the skeleton that no one knew lived there the rest of the year. As they pass, it goes dark again, ready to scare the next unsuspecting pack. The best part? Watching the parents jump too.

Don’t Forget the Sound

Scary lighting is only half the fun. Any good horror movie has the soundtrack to make someone pop out of their seat when they least expect it. Fortunately, today we have great options for easy outdoor sound. While you'll enjoy a whole-home sound system to set the mood for relaxation and entertainment for the rest of the year, the mood for Halloween is to go as frightful as possible. It's pretty easy to find the right sound with streaming convenience or compile your own. An outdoor connected speaker like the Sonos Move is an excellent option if you don't have outdoor speakers. You can even hide it in a scary decoration, and with its battery power, it doesn't even need to be plugged in. 

Keep It Under Control

Lutron lighting control makes it easy to keep all this scariness under control. It's easy to dream up lighting scenes and sequences for your outdoor Halloween spectacular. Lutron smart plugs can ease setting up and managing your outdoor lighting. Even Sonos speakers can be integrated through Lutron's Smart Bridge, allowing you to coordinate your Halloween sight and sound show. And when Halloween is finally over – or you're ready to go to bed – you can shut it all down with just a touch of a button. 

Lutron lighting control is fun for Halloween, but it does so much more the other 364 days of the year.  GHT Group is not only a certified Lutron integrator; we offer a full array of electrical services for your home too!
