Wow, so many options here.  How much do you want to invest in lighting?  Any time there's a carnival-type setup with lots of round transparent plates lined up, the temptation is to make them all race like a marquee, but then cost becomes a definite factor.

We don't have the set in our shop, but looking at the assembly instructions, I can think of the following ideas:

1. Fireplace: 4x flickering LEDs (we had these in our setup for the Haunted House kit a few months ago, and could easily develop something for this fireplace that would look nice and which wouldn't require an external effect controller so cost would be lower).
2. Transparent plates surrounding the front door: these could definitely be setup in a marquee effect.  A lighting effect controller and several daughterboard controllers would be needed (similar to what we set up for our Ferris Wheel kit).
3. Flashing Pico LEDs behind the eyes of the large Joker face inside by the slide.
4. Marquee effect in the two arrows on the inside of the house.  This would increase cost because of the need for 2 lighting controllers, but the effect would be awesome.
5. Our spotlights shining up on the JOKER sign on the front of the building (maybe with two of them connected to our lighting effect controller with burned-out bulb effect to make it look extra creepy).
6. Various assorted room lighting inside (maybe different colored lights on ceilings in different rooms).

Again, since we don't have the kit ourselves, it's difficult to say definitively what would work and what wouldn't, and with a set like this, with so much lighting potential, the biggest limiting factor would probably be cost.

What do you think?

Andrew T Thanks for providing the photo-- like I said, there is a LOT going on there that could be replicated in lights.  For under $100, though, you wouldn't be able to have any marquees or effect controllers.  You could do some flashing Pico LEDs and the spotlights for the signs, but probably not much else, unfortunately. :-(

Freakmaster Right!  It's amazing, but cost would be prohibitive I think to light everything.  I'd love to see it done though!

Freakmaster Completely possible.  ;)   I presume we're talking about a "marquee" effect, or where the lights appear to chase themselves around in a circle.  (Your docking bay gave me the idea of runway lights for Santa Claus, - third photo/video and these are also seen in a few kits including the Ferris Wheel.)

Freakmaster it’s a specific controller with the master/daughter boards... what controller are you using?  It *looks* like the 12-effect controller, but that one doesn't include a chase effect... exactly.  That one is a two-channel controller, so you COULD have alternating lights flash on and off, and dialing up the speed get close to the chase effect. 

The marquee itself - a sequence of chasing down 3-4 lights, involves the a series of daughter boards in series - much as your Docking Bay setup was setup.  (This controller isn't - at last check - "on the shelf" online, rather, it's a special order/request via email + PayPal invoice.)

Doable, but it's more and different parts... :)

Freakmaster We do have a marquee controller-- we sell it along with our handmade kit for the Palace Cinema.  Here's a demo:

The way this works is that there are four total outputs on the controller.  Three are used for the sequential marquee effect (1,2,3) so you can connect as many lights to each of those three outputs as possible.  The 4th output is for flashing lights (on/off/on/off-- they are used in the front lights for the marquee as shown in the video).

You could easily adapt this for your Joker Manor sign.  There is a speed dial on the controller, so you can make the lights chase as fast as you want.

Is this what you had in mind?

Freakmaster I think the special controller is the least expensive option-- the Airport Runway style effect requires one controller for every 3 LEDs.
