Answer

Prioritize warm LED lights over harsh fluorescents or incandescent bulbs to create inviting ambiance. Position lights to highlight key features like pumpkins, entryways, or DIY graveyards. Use spotlights for dramatic effects on props such as tombstones or figures, and string twinkle or lantern lights around trees and railings. Lighting layered in different heights and intensities contributes to a moody, stylish Halloween porch that attracts admiration both evening and night.
