PROP LAB: Turn Your Battery Powered Props to Plug-in!

VanOaksProps teams up with maker Beejay Oslon to demonstrate how to convert battery-powered Halloween props to run on plug-in 12V DC power. The core of the mod is a step-down voltage regulator circuit that drops 12V supply power down to whatever voltage the original batteries provided. The short, focused tutorial makes this an accessible upgrade for haunters who want to eliminate battery swaps during a display season.
