Title: Aether II Housing Question
Post by: JimWright on December 01, 2011,

 My lights are up and running so now I can start work on the Aether II. I hate to ask this question because it makes me feel very stupid. I am using the recommended housing from Northern Industrial Lights (the 500 watt work light). My question concerns how to unscrew the screws that are inside of the housing. I have tried everything that I can think of, short of drilling the screws out. The heads look strange. They partly look like a Phillips head and partially like those square screws (I don't the name of those). I any case, they are so tight that I can't get even one screw out. (In this case I would love to have a screw loose). Any ideas?
Jim

Jim,
I just did my aether IIs over the last two days so I should be able to help. I got the same lights from northern tool as well. The screw is a normal phillips head.  That said I gave the stubborn screws I had a good whack with a hammer at the end of my screwdriver. One good tap with the "fine adjustment tool" and they broke loose.   

Good luck with your aethers!  I love mine!
