Trigger box and Switches Kit
The 1:1 Full size Life-Size Replica Proton Pack from Spirit Halloween is a great pack on it’s own, but can be taken to the next level with the upgrade of the trigger to the wand. Instead of pressing the buttons on the panel where the SLO-BLO indicator is supposed to go, you can use an actual trigger box pushbutton (included!) to fire the wand.

Assembled Trigger box:
Attached to the wand:
Video of operation with original pack electronics:
These are 3D printed parts, so some variation is surface textures compared to these images will occur. The parts are printed with some “scaffolding” to support the upper layers while printing the part. You will need to remove this to install the switches and mount the trigger box. I use needle nose pliers to remove most of the scaffolding.
The parts in these photos have not been sanded or painted, so are representative of the parts that you will receive. If you wish to sand, paint or just add some weathering to the parts, that is up to you.
No external alterations (other than removing the previous trigger box) to your wand are needed to upgrade your wand with this trigger box kit.
Two main options when installing:
-
If you want this for just looks, it is a simple installation that does not require opening up the pack or the wand. Just remove the old trigger box this is held in place with one screw and then mount the new trigger box (once you assemble it) and it is held securely in the same place with the same screw.
-
If you want the switches to actually do something other than look and feel great, you will have to open up the wand and do some simple soldering to attach the switches to the existing switches in the wand. The wire and heatshrink tubing are included, but you will need to provide the solder and soldering tool and heat gun (or flame) needed to make and finish those connections.
The trigger box parts include:
-
Switch connection wires
-
Switch connectors
-
Push button switch (“INTENSIFY”)
-
Toggle Switch (“ACTIVATE”)
-
3D printed black trigger box
-
3D printed black cover plate for trigger box
-
Socket head screws for mounting the cover plate
-
3D printed black screw hole plugs
-
Heat shrink tubing for covering the wire solder connections
No labels are included. Reuse the “ACTIVATE” and “INTENSITY” labels from the original trigger box.

Ear with pushbutton, Orange Hat and Light Kit
The 1:1 Full size Life-Size Replica Proton Pack from Spirit Halloween is a great pack on it’s own, but can be taken to the next level with the upgrade of the ear tab to the wand. Instead of just fake molded plastic and an orange “hat light” replica, a real push button switch and an Orange hat light with amber LED illumination are included in this kit.
Parts included:
Test fit of PCB and 3D parts:
Installed in wand:
There is no functionality for the switch and the LED does not come on on its own, but comes with a cable to make it plug compatible with the GBFans wand lights kit so the switch and Light will be operable:
These are 3D printed parts, so some variation is surface textures compared to these images will occur.
The parts in these photos have not been sanded or painted, so are representative of the parts that you will receive. If you wish to sand, paint or just add some weathering to the parts, that is up to you. Some drilling (for the Orange Hat lens) and gluing (to attach the top plat to the ear tab) are needed to install the kit.
No external alterations (other than removing the previous trigger box) to your wand are needed to upgrade your wand with this trigger box kit.
The ear tab upgrade parts include:
-
Printed circuit board with Red push button switch, amber LED and cable connection
-
3 conductor cable designed to work with the GBFans Wand Lights kit
-
3D printed Black ear tab cover to hold the switch and Orange hat lite “lens”
-
3D printed Orange Hat Light Lens

High power (1W) RGB LED on circuit board with connection cable to replace the GBFans 10mm RGB LED that came with the GBFasn Wand Lights kit. This could work with that GBFans RGB LED, but not sure where you would mount the original LED!
