There are tons of fun and lots of benefits to wearing a light up costume this 2010 Halloween season. To begin with, these fiber optic costumes are safe. No worries about the material igniting. Just as important is on those dark Halloween nights when the kids are out trick or treating, they are so lit up they can be seen from a great distance away, which makes it safer for them to be on the streets.

More than safety, these costumes have a wow factor that ordinary costumes can’t match. Katy Perry wore a light up gown, and expect several celebrities to have glittery, creative and bright costumes this Halloween as the rage catches on!

With movies like Iron Man and Tron, this awesome technology will continue to become more and more popular. Who knows how creative costume designers … or yourself … can get with fiber optics?

Magic That Lights Up the Night …

Light up costumes are definitely the “in thing” this Halloween, and there’s no sign that it’s just a fad. Designers are coming up with many ways to make creative works of “wearable technology.” They can make any costume, no matter what the character, extra special. There is no doubt that when you show up at party in a light up costume they are going to make note of your arrival!

The concept behind these light up costumes is really quite simple. Their lighting capabilities come from the fiber optics, which are tiny threads that are woven throughout designated areas of the costume. The lighting is controlled by a off/on switch that is hidden in a side pocket of the costume. It is just a tiny little case that houses the battery pack which supplies the energy for the optic fibers. A small micro chip can set up twinkling, sparkling, or anything else that comes to mind!

The result is an amazing array of glowing, sparkling, twinkling glow in the dark costumes. You can wear them in your hair, as the company Glowbys does, they come as glowing masks with red eyes, or as fun glowing patterns woven into skirts or shoes.

Future uses already invented include LED displays on fashion, which can lead ultimately to movie stars “wearing” advertising for their latest movie! Be on the look out for this technology to be in everything you see!
