I can just imagine this in a dark room, you press it once every 5 mins for literally half a second just to place idea that the torch is unreliable, then when the tension is sufficiently ramped, turn off the torch, the actor sneaks in quietly, then turn the torch back on and boo! There's a ghost! hahaha I love it

Hiow much less range does the metal body lamp have verses the plasic one? I amt hinking of stage use in a theatre.

This is good! Thank you! I already have an idea to implement this in my Geocaching horror-event for Halloween. 😈

And you can trigger sounds, in the wild, on a literal press of a button. 🤔

Hi Alastair, Patreon here, I would love to see how you would go about transmitting a "global" signal from an arduino, ie what transmitter modules would be involved etc (assuming all devices had been "trained" to act the same). I can think of an absolutely great practical use for this in one of my rooms. Thanks, Steve

This is a incredible amount of "bang for your buck, (or pound if you prefer). Cool project. One thought is to organize a ghost hunting event, and supply some flashlights 😉.

Thank you for yet another bullseye topic for my hobby. Question, what if I’d like to control the RF transmitter from my Arduino? Is there such RF transmitter?

Is there any protection for the 18650 battery just in case? Would be good to see how to protect lithium batteries correctly, especially as there are so many vapes getting thrown away without making use of the good rechargeable batteries.

I'd love you to do some videos on how you solve escape room running stuff. I know you've done a couple on node red which is cool, I'm thinking about different ways of getting sound from the rooms. Currently I'm using a baby monitor but I think getting a proper mixing desk would be a better idea

Simple and effective, the best kind of idea! I'm keeping this in my back pocket for a future project...

Wonder if this could be hacked to be controlled by computer. Maybe a WiFi switch instead of the cheap remote one, and node red?

Yes, absolutely - I mention this towards the end of the video. You can using a simple 433MHz ASK transmitter (as I used in the "Heart Transplant" puzzle) to broadcast the RF signal from an Arduino/Raspberry Pi/standalone and trigger your lights to go out based on an automated trigger.

@@PlayfulTechnology go me, outing myself for not getting to the end of the video. Haha. Should have realised you would've thought of that.

I've seen a variation of this in an Alton Towers Scaremaze that might be interesting. Guests are wearing headtorches that appear to have an added IR receiver on them. I noticed staff were testing these headtorches with a simple looking IR hand lamp and the maze had IR floodlights throughout. It LOOKS like the brightness of the headtorches is being controlled by the amount of IR light they are receiving, but there was no coding or microcontrollers involved. It all appeared to be completely analogue. @Playful Technology Any thoughts on what the circuit in the head torches might be?

Cool man Alastair!! Really wonderful job! just wondering if you may need any services, like PCBs or 3D printing, in the upcoming content, if so, we'd love to offer you some.(PCBWay Daisy)
