Halloween is just around the corner and the traditional thing to do for this holiday is to carve a face into a pumpkin to scare the trick or treaters. In this day and age of technology why not add some LED lights into your pumpkin master pieces and make them more exciting and even more scary, as well as making them much safer than using a candle.

Here are some LED halloween pumpkin ideas found on Youtube for your inspiration in making your own LED halloween pumpkin.

This Youtube user has carved a traditional looking face into their pumpkin and placed red LED‘s into the middle that have a strobe effect. When in the dark and the red LED’s are on the strobe effect makes the pumpkin look rather scary.

This pumpkin uses a 10 watt colour changing RGB LED downlight placed into the middle, creating a scary looking face with its ever changing colours.

This funky looking pumpkin with a spider carved onto it is using blue LED’s to light up the the carved web the spider is attached to.

Not only will you be keeping with tradition but you will also be bring your pumpkin ideas into the modern era using the LED lights.
