If you're considering purchasing these pack lights, wand lights, and blaster board upgrades, I highly recommend them. They're fantastic and they will take your Spirit/Rubie's pack to another level. The installation instructions are detailed and easy to follow, too.
I did just the light kits for Halloween and total game changer. The pack lites are very easy. The wand i think you need to be a little familiar with a dremel tool and xacto knife. But can still be done. Finally got the soundboard for mine. I did use the spirit soundboard for Halloween and just did fine but all the other things this sound board can do makes it all worth while. I might make a few packs for the kids as well.
The upgrade kits are now available on www.gbfans.com in the FOR SALE section of the forums. www.gbfans.com/ They are also available from my eBay store: www.ebay.com/str/ghostlab42
Hello, I ordered the light and sound kit. When I closed everything together, I turned on the switch on the Neutrona wand and the light on the wand and the Powercell and Cyclotron lamps lit up. When I turned it off again and wanted to turn it on again, the light on the wand and the Powercell went on The cyclotron light doesn't turn on, but the Powercell always lights up and there's electricity on it too. My question now is why is it?
Each board does have a self test mode. It may be possibly that the potentiometer ("CONFIG") is turned to the self test mode. Take care when adjusting since it is a plastic potentiometer! In the PackLights test modes the lights on the powercell are lit, but not changing. The other issue could be that the cabling between the powercell and the cyclotron lights became disconnected, best to check that when you open it up to adjust the "CONFIG" potentiometer on the powercell board.

@@kathrinrichter8348 Best to test the sound board on its own. Turn off the battery. Only have the battery and the speaker attached. All other cables removed. Place the jumpers on the sound board for TEST mode. When battery is turned back on the boards should immediately start talking. Three main cause of no sound is Low battery voltage - make sure the 12V is fully charged. The Lights can work to lower voltages, but sound needs at least 7V You can also check the audio amplifier portion of the board by plugging an mp3 into the Audio Input. This lets you know if it is an issue with the internal audio generation or the audio amplifier.
With the Slime jumper removed (and a power cycle), you are in Proton Pack only mode. Detailed in the installation document (Pages 3-4): www.ghostlab42.com/img/Spirit_Wand/SpiritWandLights_v1p2.pdf
I just finished installing my kit and i cant get my power up and stand by hum to function. The blast noise works and the overheat sounds work. Any help would be appreciated.
Not really. This is intended only for the tiny (60%) wand that comes with the Spirit Halloween Deluxe Proton Pack. I do offer kits that allow a Hasbro (Spengler or 1984) wand to work in similar ways: ua-cam.com/video/7PeB_7Aw3oY/v-deo.html
so if i understand this correctly...all you had was the ghost labs upgrade kit for the pack, the wand upgrade and the ghostlab-speaker/soundboard upgrade...nothing else?
No need to cut it open. See pages 8-9 in the sound board documentation for removing the cardboard backing of the Spirit Pack: www.ghostlab42.com/img/SpiritBlaster/SpiritBlaster_Instructions_v1p3.pdf
Single pack mode is a proton pack only, Dual pack mode allows a toggle switch to select between proton pack and slime thrower operation. The selection between the two modes is the "SLIME" jumper on the board. You do need access to the board to be able to change that jumper!
@@ghostlab42 K thanks, just bought the Wand light kit and the Cosmetic kit so hopefully it turns out well! I'm using the original spirit sound board so when I solder the wires together i'm hope that it doesn't get messed up, any alternatives to the solder part or do I have to solder it?
@@natemorris6137 The Wand Lights board needs to connect to either the replacement Spirit Sound board I offer or my Spirit Pack Lights Board. It does not work with just the original spirit electronics. If you also have the Spirit Pack Lights board, no soldering is required. There are wire nuts to connect the existing spirit pack to the the included wire that sends the battery power over to the pack lights board. The wand lights board then has a long cable to plug into the pack lights board.
To have the wand lights board control the original electronics fire sound you do need to make a connection for one wire from the new board to the original wiring. You could twist the wires together and then use electrical tape or possibly hot glue to insulate and hold them together, but soldering (and then the electrical tape or hot glue) is the most robust way to connect those two wires. The wire nuts that come with the Spirit Pack Lights are for connecting the battery so are made for much thicker wires.
@@ghostlab42 I have the the spirit light upgrade thing you made, i just have the original sound thing in there because I dont own the sound board you offer
The wand lights kit really needs the pack lights and/or the sound board since it gets power from either of those two other kits with the included cabling.

Doug K I picked it up just waiting on battery pack to show up got it all hooked up and ready to go.
Looks incredible!!!
Waiting for you to have these in stock, then I can finish mine
If the cylotron lights are positioned where the “clockwise” is right-side up, does that mean they clycle clockwise on the outside?
Exactly!
Doug K Sweet! Also, I just want to say that you have excellent engineering and crafting skills. I purchased your whole upgrade set and it is perfect!
Amazing product.

Okay, thanks for the answer, the lights are working now but I have no sound. Can you maybe help with that and give me a tip on how the sound works?

@@ghostlab42 okay thank you 😊
@@ghostlab42 Can I just buy a soundboard from you for my Protonpack without any cables and stuff?
Ordered cant wait to install the sound kit then ill buyvthe wand light kit
Where do you even get the right lights and sounds please tell me
Do you know if this mod will this work with the new life size spirit pack that just drop?
What would happen if I remove the slime pin, what would that make that switch do then?
With the Slime jumper removed (and a power cycle), you are in Proton Pack only mode.

Existe este pack para la neutrona full size?
For a Spirit Halloween Life-Size Pack I do make a set of Pack Lights, but for a generic full size pack I recommend the GBFans products.

are the cables too short? I would like to install the light and sound set in my Spengler Neutrona wall
so if i understand this correctly...all you had was the ghost labs upgrade kit for the pack, the wand upgrade and the ghostlab-speaker/soundboard upgrade...nothing else?
What do you recommend to use for the back of the pack once you cut it open
No need to cut it open. See pages 8-9 in the sound board documentation for removing the cardboard backing of the Spirit Pack:
www.ghostlab42.com/img/SpiritBlaster/SpiritBlaster_Instructions_v1p3.pdf
I need to do that to my. Proton pack
Will you ever sell the led lights for the spirit pack again????
Working on those now. Should all be back in stock end of next week.

Can you explain the difference between single and dual mode? Is this a setting we can change?
Single pack mode is a proton pack only, Dual pack mode allows a toggle switch to select between proton pack and slime thrower operation. The selection between the two modes is the "SLIME" jumper on the board. You do need access to the board to be able to change that jumper!
How much is that upgrade
Could you send the link to the Spirit wand tube kit because I can't seem to find it on ebay
Out of stock, but should be available again mid May...
