To complete the installation of Haunted House in a Box, you might need to supply extension cords to
enable the lights to be placed further away from the control box. Other possible items you might need
to supply include an audio extension cable for the speakers and duct tape for securing wires that cross
walking paths.
3UGGESTED#ONlGURATION
Because every house is different, a definitive guide for placing lights
and the controller is not possible. Your best bet is to experiment with
different placements of the lighting fixtures to get the effect you want.
By way of getting you started, here is a suggested configuration for a
house with a short walkway to a front door using our accessories:
• Place the motion sensor approximately six feet away from the
front door on one side of the front walk.
• Place the hand-held trigger either inside the door or at another location where a person can operate
it without being seen.
• Place one speaker on each side of the front walk. (Some of the sound effects are in stereo and will
sound better if the speakers are spaced apart from each other.)
• String the mini-lights in bushes or other areas of each side of the front walk. Optionally, you can
line each side of the front walk with the mini-lights.
• Flood lights can be placed pointing at the front of the house or down on the front walk. You’ll prob-
ably want to put one flood light on one side of the walk and on the other.
• Put both the black and strobe lights near the front door.
