🧡 Step 1: Light Up the Night

Visibility is key when it comes to Halloween safety. The right lighting not only keeps trick-or-treaters safe but also makes costumes and decorations pop.

Start with FANL Glow Bracelets — these LED wristbands are a simple, colorful way to make kids (and adults!) visible in the dark. Each bracelet glows brightly, making it easy for drivers and other pedestrians to spot you. The adjustable fit means they’re comfortable for everyone, from little ones in costumes to adults walking alongside them.

You can also attach them to costume hems, treat bags, or even pets’ collars for extra visibility. Bonus: they double as fun party favors if you’re hosting a Halloween event.

Tip: Mix colors for a festive, glowing look that’s both functional and fun.

🎃 Step 2: Use Lanterns for Safer Trick-or-Treating

While flashlights are great, lanterns add a hands-free and festive touch. The EverBrite 3-Pack Collapsible Pumpkin Lanterns are perfect for little trick-or-treaters. Each one features a cheerful jack-o’-lantern face, giving off just enough light to guide the way without being too harsh.

Their collapsible design makes them easy to store and carry, and the built-in lanyard lets kids hang them from their candy buckets or wrists.

These lanterns are ideal for neighborhoods with uneven sidewalks or dim streetlights — they not only add visibility but also enhance the Halloween vibe. Plus, they’re battery-powered, so there’s no risk from open flames like with candles or torches.

Safety bonus: Replace real candles in your outdoor pumpkins with battery-operated lanterns or flameless tea lights to reduce fire hazards.

💡 Step 3: Flashlights for Every Age

When in doubt, a flashlight is still one of the best Halloween safety tools. The EverBrite Halloween Flashlight 4-Packis great for families who plan to split up or want extra coverage. Each lightweight torch is small enough for kids to hold comfortably and bright enough to illuminate sidewalks and driveways.

The included lanyards make them easy to carry around wrists, preventing drops during candy hunts. With four in a pack, you can hand one to every family member or keep extras in the car for emergencies.

You can even match colors to costumes — a small touch that adds both practicality and style.

Tip: Before heading out, test the batteries and bring a backup set, just in case.

💚 Step 4: Glow Sticks for Ultimate Visibility

For larger groups or darker areas, nothing beats classic glow sticks. The Ultra Bright Green Glow Sticks are perfect for trick-or-treating, outdoor parties, or neighborhood gatherings. These six-inch sticks glow for up to 12 hours — long enough to last through all your spooky adventures.

Each stick comes with a lanyard, so kids can wear them as necklaces or you can tie them to backpacks, strollers, or treat bags. Their bright green glow makes them easy to spot from a distance — a simple way to keep everyone together in the dark.

They’re also great backup light sources for emergencies. Keep a few in your car or purse — you’ll be glad you did if a flashlight battery dies mid-trick-or-treat.

Pro tip: Hand them out instead of candy for a fun, safe surprise kids love.

🧺 Step 5: Make Candy Collecting Safer and Easier

A night of collecting candy means kids are carrying bags — and in the dark, it’s easy to trip or lose track of them. The LED Light-Up Pumpkin Candy Bag makes that problem disappear (literally, in glowing fashion).

This reusable tote lights up with a bright LED glow, making it both festive and easy to see. The lightweight, collapsible design is perfect for young trick-or-treaters — no bulky buckets or heavy bags to manage.

The soft fabric and sturdy handles mean it’s comfortable to carry all night, while the light-up feature helps you spot your kids even from across the street.

When Halloween’s over, it folds flat for easy storage — ready for next year’s spooky adventure.

Safety note: Encourage kids to keep both hands free as much as possible. If their bag has a strap, wear it crossbody to avoid tripping or dropping it.

🚸 Step 6: Costume Safety Tips

Lighting isn’t the only key to Halloween safety — costumes matter, too.

• Choose bright colors or add reflective tape to darker costumes. Even a small strip on sleeves or shoes can make a big difference.

• Avoid masks that block vision. Instead, use face paint or makeup to keep visibility clear.

• Check fit: Long hems, capes, or oversized shoes can cause trips or falls. Tailor costumes so kids can move comfortably.

• Test materials: Make sure costumes and accessories are flame-resistant, especially around open flames like candles or lanterns.

If you’re going for a spooky black ensemble, offset it with glowing accessories — glow bracelets, necklaces, or a light-up bag can add safety without compromising style.

🧙‍♂️ Step 7: Light Your Home Entryway

If you’re handing out candy, make your home safe and inviting for trick-or-treaters, too.

• Illuminate your walkway: Use battery-operated lanterns, solar lights, or string lights to mark paths.

• Remove tripping hazards: Secure cords, move decorations off walkways, and sweep leaves or debris.

• Keep pets inside: Even friendly dogs can get startled by costumes or sudden noises.

The same lighting products you use for trick-or-treating can double as décor — glowing pumpkins, lanterns, or ghost string lights add charm and safety all in one.

🕸️ Step 8: Street Smart Tips for Trick-or-Treating

Halloween excitement can make it easy to forget basic road safety, but a quick reminder can go a long way:

• Stay on sidewalks and crosswalks. Avoid running into the street between parked cars.

• Walk facing traffic if there’s no sidewalk.

• Go in groups. There’s safety in numbers — plus, it’s more fun!

• Carry ID cards. For kids, include a note with a parent’s phone number just in case.

• Use your lights. Whether it’s a flashlight, glow stick, or lantern, always have one active light source per person.

If older kids are trick-or-treating without an adult, agree on a route and curfew ahead of time. Make sure they have charged phones and understand basic safety reminders before they go.

💬 Step 9: Party and Event Safety

Hosting a Halloween party? These same products can make your event both safe and fun.

• Use glow bracelets to mark dark walkways or backyard boundaries.

• Scatter glow sticks in jars or buckets for glowing table centerpieces.

• Place lanterns or flashlights along driveways and doorways.

• Offer light-up candy bags as party favors.

The best part? These items aren’t just safety tools — they double as decorations and party accents that enhance the atmosphere while keeping everyone visible.

🖤 Step 10: Keep It Fun — and Stress-Free

Here’s your quick checklist before heading out:

• ✅ Lights fully charged or with fresh batteries.

• ✅ Glow accessories ready for everyone.

• ✅ Comfortable, visible costumes.

• ✅ Safe, clear walking routes.

These small tools make a big impact — helping you see and be seen while keeping the spooky spirit alive.
