DIY Halloween Lighting: Turn a Lamp Post Globe Into Spooky Decor

Looking for a creative way to add something different to your Halloween decorations? Your outdoor lighting can become part of the display.

One of our customers recently showed us how they turned a Kastlite clear lamp post globe into a spooky Halloween decoration. With the right lighting, materials, and a little creativity, a standard lamp post globe can become a glowing centerpiece for your porch or outdoor space.

A Lamp Post Globe With a Halloween Twist

Clear lamp post globes are designed to provide clean, even light, but their simple shape also gives you plenty of room to get creative.

For this Halloween setup, the globe was transformed into a glowing crystal ball effect. Blue lighting inside the globe creates an eerie glow, while wispy materials and a ghostly face add to the spooky look.

The result is a Halloween decoration that combines outdoor lighting with seasonal decor.

3. Add Your Halloween Details

This is where you can make the project your own.

Consider adding lightweight decorative materials inside or around the globe to create effects such as:

  • A spooky crystal ball

  • A ghostly face
