Here's a remotely interesting lighting tip for every Halloween lights. you can
turn on or off all of your Halloween lights with the push of a single remote
control bottom without run from room to room all over the house indoors and out
bending over and plugging your illuminated decorations into wall sockets. If
you want to invest in a set of X-10 Control Units.

They're not dirt cheap, but you can use them for Halloween lights, Christmas
lights or all the year long. You can find started for around 50 to 75 bucks and
these devices will serve you for years to come! You'll need at least one
PLUG-IN RF UNIT.
This is the "Base" module. You can plug one set of lights into it.
You'll also need the remote control which may be 12 to 20 dollars. You can
usually buy the base with 1 remote as a package deal for around 30 dollars. For
each area that you would normally plug lights into, you will need another
different kind of module. I recommend an X10 Appliance Module 3-Pin.
Nowadays for all you great geeks You can even find an Iphone or I-pad apps
to control these babies and you can find really fancy controlling different
rooms and adding other modules like dimmer modules and timers. But let's get
back to our story for us simple boys and ghosts. When you have your base,
remote control, and appliance modules, Just follow the instructions that come
with each device.
It should be as simple as
1) Put batteries in the remote.
2) Plug in the base module into a wall socket. You may too plug in the
lights in that room that you want to control INTO the base module.
3) Go to another room or location. Plug the appliance module into the wall
socket. Plug the lights that are nearby into that module.
4) make sure that the control dials on every device are at the same settings
so that your remote will control these devices.
Now...with the press of the on or off button, you can control all of your
lights as Halloween lights!
A tip on where to get these: Locally at Radio Shack, Fry's electronics, or most
electronics centers. Or, search for the best deal online.
