I was LITERALLY just looking at these!!
The dark clouds rolling in during the time lapse was an awesome addition! Love your videos!
Yeah, that was an unexpected bonus and a nice change from the 100° weather we had a few weeks ago.
For the last 3 years I've been using LED indoor working flood lights I found on sale at a local hardware store. I cut to fit transparent colored binder dividers as my color gels. It worked well color wise, but every night I'd have to bring the lights in. I just ordered these Ustellar Lights Saturday afternoon, and they arrived today (Monday 2 days later), wow!! Super excited to get these turned on tonight. Thanks for all your amazing videos. Yourself, Hollywood Haunters, and Wicked Makers are the three channels that inspired me to do my own home haunt. Your videos inspire me to do it all as DIY as possible. My kids love our house haunt, my wife loves it, and my neighbors all love it. Massive thank you as always.
Spook-tacular! Happy Halloween to all & to all a good fright.
Same to you!
@@VanOaksProps ^_^
We got these based on your recommendation and we absolutely LOVE these lights. They were exactly what we needed for our cemetery. Thank you and keep doing inspiring work!
That’s excellent! Glad to hear you like them.
I see you solo set up too. Mine is all done on Halloween. My set up and tear down both took over 4 hours. Thankfully I have a yard full of leaves to hide cords lol.
I'm bookmarking this video for next year. I'm in the majority with the nest of extension cords! What a space and time saver! As always, thank you for sharing! 🎃
Well, these are a game changer. I have to check them out. Thanks.
I have 4 of those work nice.
This couldn't have come at a better time, because some of our haunt lighting just crapped out on me. 😅 Thanks, Derek!
Oh no!
@@VanOaksProps Better now than on Halloween night, at least! 🤞
That is Cool!!!! Thanks For All The Videos!!!! I am being educated from them!!!! 😁
So stokeddddddd for spooky season this year I need more videos from you guys
It's looking class. Happy haunting
nice job!!! I appreciate your very detailed instructions/tips along with all the links. our front yard has its own challenge, simply because we set up & take down entirely on Halloween. we went to LED blacklights a few years ago - we'll check these floodlights out for the future
Those lights look great. Adding them to the wish list for sure.
Still playing serious catch up with your videos. This is PERFECT as I've dealt with the lighting cords vs outlets problem for years not to mention storage space. I guarantee these will be a part of my 2023 Halloween 🎃 offering! Great job.
Thank you for this! It totally helped solve part of my lighting problems. I just picked up a set and cannot wait for them to get here 🎃🎃
I bought those lights earlier this season, except mine was a 4 stringer. I love love them!!! So easy to use and set up and ONE PLUG. 👍🏼👏👏👏👏👏
Yeah, cutting down on the number of cords is a huge bonus.
I have those exact lights they are amazing, but I wish the cord between each light was like 5 feet longer. And if y'all get them make sure you read the directions. The first light needs to be in the wifi area
Yeah, 15' cord would be really nice! And yes, it must be in range of a wifi signal.
Thanks! We have a phenomenal graveyard with a lot of stones (34 of varying sizes) spread across our front lawn but no lighting - YET. I’ve been dreading the number of extension cords needed. After seeing this video I’m thinking long and hard about giving these a whirl to see if they meet our needs.
Wow, I spent a lot of time just last night thinking about how to light my show, and it looks like maybe this is the answer. Thank you for sharing!
Glad I could help!
You haunt looks SO AWSOME! I love it!
Thank you very much!
Great Halloween lighting ideas, thanks for sharing 🎃🪦🦇💀
Glad you like them!
'Love your videos, thank you. I recently purchased the six pack of LED smart lights and found that my router doesn't support 2.4ghz. So I can't connect them to my android. I think this might be good to mention.
“Called it good”
Love the shoutout to Boylei Hobby Time 💪🏼
Great work as always Derek
Let's call this better than good. This is Great!
Looks amazing 💀
Cool
I bought these and installed them in my haunt! Nice to have only one power cord. My only complaint is I’m finding it hard to achieve a red color that doesn’t register as pink. Ended up sticking with orange tones.
If you drop the brightness the color saturation will intensify, which may give you a more red looking red.
I bought some of these but be advised: they function ONLY on a 2.4GHz Wifi network. They are VERY nice lights despite the network requirement.
That's correct. Thankfully most wifi routers are able to flip between bands.
I use their individually powered lights
I don't think they have the wattage to cast light a large area but you're using them perfectly!
These look exactly like what I’m looking for..
not sure if you've done this before but can we get a video on storage when it's time to pack it all up?
One feature, or lack of the feature, for these types of lights is they don’t save/remember their last state when powered off then powered back on. So, my question would be do these lights remember their last state when power cycled or do I have to use the app each time they are power cycled to set their colors?
They keep their programming.
Love your hat! Thought maybe it was part of your merchandise. But didn't find it. Would love to know where it's from?
I wish! It's a patch from Creepy Co. sewn onto a blank baseball cap.
Would love to know how many sets of these you ended up using to light your graveyard/cemetery?
Just the one set.
Do people come into the yard on Halloween night? If so, how will you deal with the power cord running across the walkway? Gorgeous as always, wish I could see it in person!!!! Those lights are really nice, thanks for showing us. 🧡🖤🧡
They do not.
Looks great! Did you use 100 or 40 watt?
Thanks! Those are the 100 watt version.
Great videos as always, thank you for sharing!
I have always wondered, how do you store all your halloween props after the season? Would a storing video be possible later this year? :)
Everything goes in a bin or on a shelf.
@@VanOaksProps Nice, even the bigger stuff, like the two columns you set up at the beginning? And thank you for your reply!
@@COLONELDIRTY yep! It all gets stashed away
Your city allows you to put those columns on the sidewalk?? Here they would be illegal for Ada wheelchair laws. They are epic columns though. I love the rgb lights. I light each tombstone in mine with LED modules but I'm warming up to floods where they fit in mine. A good mix is great. Love the candles!!!
I wouldn't say they allow it....
Thank you for the video. I picked up a set of these lights and for the life of me cannot find the app on the Apple App store. Am I missing something? Thanks
There’s a QR code in the manual that should take you right to it.
@@VanOaksProps Ah, that is what I am missing. No instruction manual was included. Support just sent me the QR code. Thanks so much for your help.
Did they give you a discount code for your followers?
Not at this time.
Are you able to dim down the light as an effect
There aren’t any animation controls for a dimming/brightening effect, but you can lower the brightness on each light as a fixed setting.
@@VanOaksProps thank you. As long as I can adjust the brightness so I don't overpower the decoration too much
Did you cover the wire going across the front walk?
We cover them with a heavy door mat. But we also don't let trick or treaters come up the walk way after having an issue a few years back. So we hand out candy right at the gate for safety.
@@VanOaksProps Sorry to hear you had an issue, but good on you for covering the trip hazard.
Do you have the 100w or 40w ? Thanks once again
40w
@@VanOaksProps thanks !!! Looking forward to seeing for Halloween “how to’s”
Hello, i have 3 witches dressed in black from head to toe...what color lighting should I use to make them as visible in the dark as I can? TIA!
Green will likely be your best option.
@@VanOaksProps Thank you!
Help! I bought these after watching your video and I can't get the app to sync to them. 😭
Make sure they're close enough to connect to your wifi signal. If that doesn't do it, I'd recommend reaching out to the team at Usteller.
Know of anyone who might happen to make flickering orange flood lights that resemble the cheap bettery operated pumpkin lights you might get at Walmart?
I can’t say I do.
you always do like the same setup? My wife wants a different theme every year lol
I always feel like its a money savor when you pick one theme and expand on it every year. I suppose you can remodel the same props to do a different theme. Like making the same graveyard scene different each year with placement and tweaking it to different graveyard like themes like Sleepy Hallow, beetlejuice, vampires, disney haunted mansion, nightmare before Christmas, zombies, etc.
Yep. Almost exactly the same every year. It allows me to focus on refining things rather than rushing to try and finish something new (and figuring out what to do with all the old stuff).
@@TheSkellingtonGhost a graveyard is a very good theme for that yes. Should have heard this a few years back lol
Fantastic. as always.... but, may I suggest fake grass at least...........
You just did. haha
Where's the cript
It got rolled out for the final shots.
