This simple DIY tutorial will help you create your own Halloween LED spotlight lighting with RCA connectors to use anywhere in your haunt with ease (and very little electricity draw!)
Derek Young has a killer system for his home haunt at Van Oaks Cemetery, which uses inexpensive, elegant and effective lighting that you can make on your own.
Derek lights up his entire cemetery with these powerful little buggers, and you’d never know they were just tiny homemade LEDs!

Derek created the entire system with RCA connectors like these.
You’ll need 3 different connectors: male, female, and a power brick.
Connect the power brick wires together; black with black, and red with red, then run single wires from each to 1 RCA for power.
The LED spotlight container is simply made of PVC.
Heat one end and clamp with vice grips.
Drill two holes, one to mount your L-bracket and the other for your LED wires to pull through.
See how the L-bracket mounts flush against the flattened area? Tighten with lock washers and a wing nut!
Also, notice the shorter RCA wire. You can connect it to an extension of any length!
On the other side, a rubber washer holds the LED wires in place so that tension won’t rip them out and damage your spotlights!
Connect your spotlight to an extension wire and plug it into the power grid.
Now you have a low voltage Halloween LED spotlight system to light up your display!
