Light-up costumes are a novel, eye-catching way for you to stand out in Halloween parties or other similar events. These costumes are available in all shapes and sizes, and you can even get some light-up accessories to complete your look.
These costumes typically use LEDs, or light-emitting diodes. LEDs are electronic light sources that emit light when a current passes through them. LED manufacturers started mass production in 1962. The current crop of LEDs is now available in visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths. These are used in costumes due to their high levels of brightness, long lifespan, low energy consumption, and low heat production, among other advantages. These devices, however, may be expensive, as well as the costumes themselves.
Many online light-up costume manufacturers specialize in the artistic incorporation of luminous materials and LED systems into cut fabrics and other suitable materials. You can find ingenious costumes and accessories like hats, coats, dresses, vests, ties, belts, and pants. You can also get accessories that use the same LED technology, such as lit masks, weapons, armor, and jewelry for kids and adults alike.
Some outfits are available in ready-to-wear and customized variants. You can take your pick from many LED costumes. Among these are faux animal fur long coats with rainbow-colored lights, novelty suit jackets which have lapels covered with LEDs, vests completely covered in individual white and blue lights, dresses and skirts in different cuts, full body suits virtually encased in LED tubes with flowing, multi-colored lights, LED sports jerseys and tracksuits with light-up piping, letters, and numbers, and pants in various cuts with top to bottom LED systems.
Some LED accessories that you can get are fedora-style hats with individual lights around the hat’s top and brim, black gloves with a scattering of lights on the palm and fingers, and novelty ties with lights that run the length of the tie.
The public has already been exposed to light-up costumes, particularly LED-integrated outfits. Some of the costumes include rap star Bow Wow’s black hoodie with white LEDs, which he wore for a number in the BET Hip Hop Awards and the tube LED suits showcased in Dancing with the Stars. Other outrageous applications of LED technology are the wedding gowns that are encrusted with flashy LEDs for avant-garde wedding ceremonies.
Why bother with a humdrum, ordinary costume for Halloween? Illuminate the night at the next party with LED light-up costumes.
