Illuminated Halloween Costumes Add Safety

The situation today is that there are far more vehicles on the streets than there were in the fifties.  And if we try the flashlight technique the children can easily set them down.  Children will free their hands for other things, like checking through their candy bags. 

You could place reflective tape on the costumes children will be wearing.  But why go to that much trouble?  LED lights require very little power, so batteries can be used to operate a string of LED lights.  Costume makers have realized that there is a market for safety through lighting, so lights either are placed to outline parts of a costume or hidden beneath a shear layer of material.  The lack of heat allows modern LED lights to be used without the fear of a costume bursting into flames.  And to really catch the attention of motorists some costumes utilize blinking lights as attention grabbers.

Light up Halloween costumes do not cost an outrageous amount, many are quite reasonably prices.  And, they still look like the character they represent.

Superhero costumes can be found with the feature that they light up.  Of course not every costume lights up, so care in choosing what costume a child will wear is important.

Superhero costumes come in a large variety, so finding the child’s favorite character should be possible.  Shown below are some of the popular characters, but there is limited space available here to show the full range.

Superhero costumes are often thick and opaque, so using lights to make outlines is the preferred technique.

Princess costumes that light up and that even twinkle can be found.  Here a thin layer of material can be overlaid so the lights are covered.  The lights are between layers of material, quite literally. 

There is a large assortment of princess costume containing lights that are available, including the popular Frozen princesses.  Choose the child’s favorite princess, or choose the child’s favorite color.

A dark outfit with a stick figure can have quite an impact in the dark.  The costume works well in a darkened room with a party or as an outdoor costume on a dark night.  It has a certain impact that can really get attention.

Other costumes that light up are also available.  Darth Vader is among the Star Wars characters that are available.  The Sesame Street Elmo character is another possibility.  Of course there are others, but these are well recognized characters.

The traditional Halloween witch in a not so scary costume that comes with lights.  This is a traditional Halloween costume made safe.  So, if it is the Halloween spirit that is important consider the witch costume.

Many people take a dog along when they go out to trick or treat.  I see many dogs pass on Halloween night.  Some of these dogs are in costume.  So, can the pet wear a lighted costume?  Yes, there is a pet version. 

Pets can move as far as the leash allows, and if that is into the street the pet needs to be made visible.  So, make the entire family safe on Halloween with LED lights, including the family pet.
