Illuminated playthings designed for the Halloween season represent a distinct product category. These items typically incorporate light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or other light sources to create visually appealing effects, often in conjunction with thematic designs such as pumpkins, ghosts, or other characters associated with the holiday. An example would be a small, battery-operated ghost figure that glows and changes color.
These illuminated novelties offer several advantages. They enhance visibility during nighttime activities, thereby increasing safety for children and adults participating in trick-or-treating or attending outdoor events. Furthermore, the use of light adds an element of visual interest and excitement, contributing to the overall festive atmosphere. Historically, rudimentary light sources like candles in jack-o’-lanterns fulfilled a similar purpose, but modern iterations offer increased safety, longevity, and design flexibility.
