RJ, since this is the first year I'm doing a light display, I don't want my Aethers to be too bright and scare/shock my neighbors too much.
I know that I can lower the brightness of the lights using software, but do you imagine any harm to covering a lens with a square of electrical tape to cut down the brightness by 1/6th for example? I suppose there wouldn't be any issues with heat and melting, considering that I live up North where it actually gets cold in December, unlike warm sunny Winter destinations such as Arizona or Florida?
